On Monday, Spotify welcomed our guests back to the stunning Spotify Beach for the first time since 2019. The day began with two insightful panels and ended as only Spotify can: with an evening of music, culture, and celebration.
Set at a villa overlooking the picturesque French Riviera, the event featured memorable live performances, seasonal cocktails, and cuisine. Guests were welcomed to the flower-studded event by an instrumental quartet that played instrumental versions of pop hits.

Then, invited guests enjoyed a special acoustic performance from songwriter, composer, producer, Grammy and Brit-award winning artist Marcus Mumford.

Throughout the evening, DJ and record producer TOKiMONSTA kept the party going with high-energy mixes, even remixing Kate Bush.
Notable attendees included Jared Leto, Naomi Campbell, Elizabeth Olsen, Game of Thrones actress Maisie Williams, Jemele Hill, Winston Duke (the voice of Bruce Wayne in Spotify's Batman Unburied), Alexis Ren, Erich Bergen (Jersey Boys), and actress Zoe Lister Jones.
