An open-air concert is being prepared in Saint-Laurent-du-Var. Patrick Bruel will perform on Tuesday, July 21, 2026, on Cousteau beach, as part of the Beach Sport Festival. A new highlight in the program, for which the ticket office will open at 10 a.m. this Monday, December 15, 2025.
The summer season of 2026 is starting to take shape along the Maralpin coastline. Saint-Laurent-du-Var will host Patrick Bruel for an open-air concert on Tuesday, July 21, 2026. The event is scheduled on Cousteau beach, in the heart of the Beach Sport Festival. The city and festival organizers officially announced this date well in advance.
The Beach Sport Festival has established itself over the editions as an event combining sports, shows, and concerts. Each summer, Cousteau beach transforms into a versatile space. Beach sports during the day. Music stages in the evening. Summer atmosphere in the background. The 2026 edition continues this trend, with a program touted as accessible and open.
Patrick Bruel will make a stop in Saint-Laurent-du-Var in this context. The date of July 21 falls in the peak tourist season. The concert will take place outdoors, facing the sea.
A highly anticipated ticket sale
The opening of the ticket office is one of the central points of this announcement. Tickets for the concert will be on sale this morning, Monday, December 15, 2025, from 10 a.m. Sales will be conducted exclusively through the official platform of the city of Saint-Laurent-du-Var. The address is already known: billetterie.saintlaurentduvar.fr.
Patrick Bruel’s appearance fits into a long artistic journey. His career began in the late 1970s with cinema. The film “Le coup de sirocco” marked his first notable appearance. Quickly, music took on a central role. The song “Marre de cette nana-là” caught the public’s attention in the early 1980s.
The following years firmly established Patrick Bruel’s name in the French music scene. The album “Alors regarde”, released in 1989, marked a turning point. Several songs became references. “Casser la voix”, “Place des grands hommes”, “J’te le dis quand même”. This period also saw the emergence of a very direct relationship with the audience during concerts.
His discography has been enriched over the decades. Projects alternate between personal compositions and covers of classic French songs. “Café des délices” evokes Mediterranean roots. The album “Entre-deux” brings songs from the musical heritage back into the spotlight. Cinema remains present in parallel, with regular collaborations with recognized French directors.
The concert planned in Saint-Laurent-du-Var continues this trajectory. The year 2026 also marks a symbolic period around the album “Alors regarde”, whose anniversary was recently highlighted in concerts and retrospective tours. Over the years, he has managed to attract an audience spanning several generations.
A programming assumed by the municipality
The municipality of Saint-Laurent-du-Var claims a cultural policy aimed at the widest audience. The Beach Sport Festival is one of the vectors of this policy. The programming is not limited to sports competitions. Concerts play a growing role. Popular artists have already been hosted at previous editions.
The festival positions itself as a global summer event open to all. Music, sport, and local life intersect in a single location. Cousteau beach becomes a temporary gathering place. Residents of the area and visitors come together there.
The event on July 21, 2026, is expected to be one of the highlights of the summer on the French Riviera. The opening of the ticket office on Monday, December 15, constitutes the first concrete step for the public. All eyes are now turned towards this date. The countdown has begun.
