The Stockfish has presented its programming for the period from January to June 2026. The Nice venue continues a line based on artistic diversity and audience circulation. The season brings together live concerts, DJ sets, humor, thematic meetings, and intergenerational formats. The collection covers varied musical aesthetics and open cultural proposals.
The programming follows the continuity of previous seasons. Rap, jazz, electro, French chanson, rock, reggae, and stand-up coexist on the same stage. Renowned artists meet emerging projects. Festive evenings alternate with times of reflection and transmission. The Stockfish confirms its desire to break down barriers of genres and practices.
A Musical Scene with Multiple Aesthetics
French rap holds a marked place in the season. Oxmo Puccino will return to the stage after several years of absence from recording. The tour accompanies an announced return to rap. Kemmler is also on the bill. The rapper develops work centered on introspection and writing.
Jazz runs through the program with several meetings. Baptiste Herbin will perform in a trio in a refined format. Anne Paceo is programmed as part of the Jazz Sessions. Kenny Garrett is also announced. The saxophonist has collaborated with Miles Davis and Art Blakey. Ben l’Oncle Soul joins this series of concerts, between soul and jazz.
French chanson will be represented by several projects. Arthur H will share the stage with Pierre Le Bourgeois in a creation mixing acoustic and technology. Catherine Ringer will offer a concert focused on transmission and intergenerational dialogue. Pop and chanson also unfold in more intimate formats.
Electronic music occupies a significant part of the calendar. Claptone, Tchami, and Petit Biscuit are among the announced DJ sets. Joris Delacroix, Perceval, and Boris Way will represent a French electro scene with contrasting aesthetics. DJ Koco will return with an exclusively vinyl set. DJ Abdel offers an evening oriented towards hip-hop and RnB.
Rock and punk also find their place. Corpus Delicti will return to Nice to present a new album. Terror, an American hardcore punk band, is scheduled for March. A tribute concert to U2 is also announced with Surrender U2.
Humor, Stand-Up, and Collective Formats
Humor plays a structural role in the season. Several artists follow one another on stage, including Noëlle Perna, Paul Taylor, Laurent Febvay, Alex Di Mambro, Julien Vinh, Sofia Belabbes, Tom Boudet, and Amy London. The Stockfish Comedy Club by Bobar unfolds over several dates. The format is based on a 180-degree stage and proximity with the audience.
Thematic meetings complement the program. The Dolly Party will return in a limited capacity version. The Unicorn Ball will offer a festive and inclusive evening. Nostalgia Generation 80 is for fans of 1980s music. Pop Philo will invite discussions around contemporary thought in an accessible setting.
Transmission and Broadened Audiences
Several formats target specific audiences. Stockfish Endimanché will unfold in fourteen afternoons dedicated to seniors. Les Petits Poissons caters to 9-14 years old through musical workshops and camps during school holidays. Les Pieds dans le Plat will associate gastronomy and culture around monthly events. La Boulisterie Club transforms the game of boules into a meeting space.
The program has been developed with many cultural, associative, and institutional partners. The Stockfish relies on a network of local and national actors. The season also benefits from the support of a loyal sponsor.
Located at 5 Avenue François Mitterrand in Nice, the Stockfish confirms an orientation based on the diversity of forms, audience openness, and project continuity. The first half of 2026 promises to be dense, structured, and accessible, with a schedule extending from January to June.
