Les Plages Electroniques

What Les Plages Electroniques does

Les Plages Electroniques is an annual electronic music festival founded in 2006 and organized by Allover Productions, a private company headquartered in Nice, France. Held over three days at the Palais des Festivals on the Croisette in Cannes, the event deploys 10 stages across beach, rooftop, indoor and seaside venues and programs more than 90 international artists across electronic, techno, house, rap, pop and fusion genres. The 2026 edition marks the festival's 20th anniversary.

The festival monetizes through five streams: ticket sales (regular passes and VIP tables sold via the Weezevent primary platform and authorized resellers Shotgun, Ticketmaster, Ticketac, Fnac and See Tickets, with installment-payment options and Pass Culture eligibility); all-inclusive packages combining transport, accommodation and tickets sold through a dedicated platform; VIP table reservations on the Mainstage (€100–€200 per person, minimum 4 persons) with F&B minimum spend; merchandise (including a 20th anniversary Jack & Jones x JJXX collection); and corporate sponsorship from Red Bull, Credit Mutuel, NRJ, Deezer, Lidl and institutional partners including Région Sud, Département des Alpes-Maritimes, Ville de Cannes, CNM and SACEM. Tickets are also supported by an official secondary marketplace (Reelax Tickets) and the festival operates a year-round community program ("Les Plagistes") plus a dedicated iOS app for direct attendee engagement.

The technology backbone is a WordPress-based website with Elementor page builder, WooCommerce ticketing and multilingual FR/EN content; on-site operations mobilize approximately 2,000 professionals and a 345-person Green Team for sustainability. The festival draws 60,000 attendees per edition from 100+ nationalities, with 25,000 people in front of the Mainstage each evening. Allover Productions is privately held with no disclosed external investors or subsidiaries, and revenue figures are not publicly disclosed.

Direct peers

• Ultra Music Festival: Miami-originated electronic music festival now operated globally. Comparable as a multi-stage electronic music event with global headliners and premium VIP experiences targeting an international, predominantly young electronic music audience.
• Tomorrowland: Belgian electronic music festival and the global benchmark for the category. Comparable as a large-scale electronic music festival with tier-1 headliners, global audience, and multi-day programming, but at significantly larger scale and with year-round brand extensions.
• EXIT Festival: Serbian music festival held at Petrovaradin Fortress. Comparable as a multi-stage European music festival with international headliners, multi-day programming, and a similar 'destination festival' positioning on the European live-events map.
• Sónar: Barcelona-based electronic and advanced music festival. Comparable as a European electronic music festival combining live performances and DJ programming with strong brand recognition among electronic music enthusiasts.
• Time Warp: German-origin techno event with editions in Mannheim, Argentina and beyond. Comparable as an electronic music event centered on techno/house programming and an international audience, although typically longer-form (overnight) than a 3-day daytime beach festival.

• Monegros Desert Festival: Spanish electronic music festival held in Aragon. Comparable as a destination electronic music event with international headliners and a similar target audience of electronic music enthusiasts traveling for a multi-day experience.

Broad incumbents

• Vieilles Charrues: One of the largest music festivals in France, held in Carhaix. Comparable as a top-tier French multi-day music festival drawing large domestic audiences, but with broader genre programming (rock, pop, hip-hop) rather than an electronic focus.
• Solidays: Large French music festival held in Paris focused on rock/pop/electronic with a solidarity/charitable angle. Comparable as a major French multi-day music festival competing for the same French festival-goer audience, but with broader genre programming.

Regional players

• Kappa FuturFestival: Italian electronic music festival held in Turin. Comparable as a European electronic music festival with international headliners and multi-stage programming, but operating in a different national market (Italy vs France).
