Having moved from the Nice Opera for its premiere at the Théâtre de Verdure in 1971, then to the arenas of Cimiez in 1974, the Nice Jazz Festival has become an unmissable event for jazz lovers but also for enthusiasts of other musical genres that have gradually fused with the sounds beloved by Stéphane Grappelli, Louis Armstrong, or Django Reinhardt.
This year again, tastes and colors will be debated and, above all, heard in the magical setting of the arenas and gardens of Cimiez, which offer three stages (Arenas, Matisse, and Gardens) around which all sorts of wanderings are allowed, and even encouraged.
As every year, Nice Premium will bring this event to life for you by presenting each evening and each of the artists performing, offering photo galleries of the different concerts as well as reports on past evenings.
