If there’s one festival that unites the young trendy French, it’s Calvi on the Rocks. In July, head to Calvi beach for the largest open-air club in France! This summer, the sea and the DJ set are waiting for you from 5-10 July. Get ready…

A festival in an idyllic setting

Imagine radiant sunshine, a cloudless sky, turquoise sea, a picture-postcard setting with the citadel of Calvi in the background, thousands of young festival-goers in swimsuits, feet in the water and a drink in hand: this is the atmosphere of Calvi on the Rocks, which has held an important place in the French festival scene since 2003.

Resolutely electro, the programme is divided between concerts and free sets during the day, some of which are accessible by boat, then paid sets at night from 9pm. From 11pm, everything takes place in the Théâtre de Verdure, which becomes a club until 4am.

The best of electro on the Corsican coast

Resolutely electro, the programme is divided between free concerts and sets during the day, some of which are accessible by boat, and then paying sets in the evening from 9pm. From 11pm onwards, everything takes place in the Théâtre de Verdure, which transforms into a club until 4am. Guests will include the most promising artists on the current electronic and digital music scene. Among the artists taking part in the 2024 edition of Calvi on the Rocks are Marco Carola, The Avener, DJ Gregory, Villanova and Salomé Le Chat. The concept also aims to create a festive blend of tradition and modernity. Discover it on the beach, but also on an artistic trail through the town and the citadel of Calvi.
