Spotify Unveils Cannes Lions Spotify Beach Lineup (Exclusive)

by

With global communications experts gearing up to travel to France for the Cannes Lions 2025 event, Spotify has revealed an impressive list of events, first disclosing it to The Hollywood Reporter.

At Cannes Lions, Spotify Beach will host a series of engaging discussions over three days, inviting musicians, podcasters, authors, and more to share their insights. Notable participants include Charlie Puth, Jake Shane, Louis Theroux, Ludwig Göransson, Miles Caton, Morgan Absher, Rachel Lindsay, Rob Mayhew, and Seal. These discussions will be led by Spotify executives and cover a variety of topics such as integrating music into your marketing strategy, artificial intelligence, and the music from the show Sinners. In addition to these panel sessions, performances are scheduled from Baby J, Dre Tala, and Temry.

This year, I’m thrilled to share that the streaming platform has got something special in store for us music lovers! Just like last time when we witnessed electrifying performances by Benson Boone, Tyla, and Shaboozey, this time around, they’re hosting two nights of musical extravaganza. The first night, Spotify Beach has lined up a fantastic lineup focusing on the hottest emerging acts in 2025. You’ll be grooving to Alex Warren, whose infectious hit “Ordinary” has taken over the airwaves and is currently ruling Billboard’s Hot 100 chart. And that’s not all! We’ve also got Sombr and Royel Otis, two rising stars, ready to make their mark on the music scene. Can’t wait for this amazing event!

On the second evening, the streaming service is featuring performances by Cardi B, Mark Ronson, and Lola Young. Additionally, Baby J and Dre Tala will take turns as DJs for the nightly events. These activities kick off each night at 9 p.m.

The Spotify Beach festival unfolds from June 16 to June 18, right at Palais Stéphanie Beach. For specific program details and comprehensive event information, please visit the official Spotify Beach website.
