Taking place from 5–8 June at the iconic Palais des Festivals et des Congrès in Cannes, MIDEM brings together the most influential players in the global music industry. Executives, artists, producers, tech innovators and media platforms converge to network, sign deals, develop strategies and shape the future of music across all media.
With more than 180 artists performing live throughout the week, Cannes can expect a vibrant programme of concerts, showcases and industry events — blending business with creativity in true Riviera style.

MIDEM Yacht Charter – The Ultimate Cannes Experience
With MIDEM now held in June rather than January, the event aligns perfectly with the Mediterranean yachting season — making yacht charter during MIDEM more popular than ever.
Chartering a yacht in Cannes during MIDEM offers:
-
A private, prestigious base in the heart of the action
-
The ideal setting for hosting meetings, showcases and VIP receptions
-
Unrivalled views of the Croisette and the Cannes harbour
-
Seamless access between yacht and Palais des Festivals
A yacht charter for MIDEM combines business with lifestyle — allowing industry leaders to network by day and entertain by night aboard a luxury superyacht.
As the music world descends on Cannes this June, the combination of sunshine, live performances and luxury yacht charter creates an atmosphere that is uniquely Riviera — where global business meets Mediterranean glamour.
