About “Got The Light”

The deep house track “Got The Light” is described as an “emotional anchor”—a passionate, feel-good cut dedicated to resilience and undeniable hope.

Les Plages Électroniques is France’s most iconic beach festival and now it unveils the first wave of artists set to perform at its landmark 20th anniversary edition next August in Cannes. Returning to the sands of the Côte d’Azur, the festival continues its legacy of blending world-class electronic talent with a uniquely Mediterranean atmosphere.

7 August 2026 will see Martin Garrix headline. He is one of the world’s most influential EDM superstars, known for global chart-topping hits and headline performances at the biggest festivals worldwide and will be joined by Nico Moreno,  a leading force in the new wave of industrial techno, recognised for his fast, hard-hitting sets that dominate underground stages across Europe. Mosimann is next and is the Swiss DJ, producer and vocalist celebrated for his hybrid live sets and genre-blending approach, merging house, pop and electronic performance.

8 August 2026 welcomes Multi-platinum producer and global dance icon Marshmello whose crossover hits have earned billions of streams and collaborations with the world’s biggest artists. Then comes Belgium’s Amelie Lens, one of techno’s most powerful modern figures, known for her hypnotic, high-energy sets and commanding presence on the world’s largest stages. Chart-topping French rapper PLK also brings his signature melodic flow and sharp lyricism to the Riviera while Vladimir Cauchemar is a producer and performer known for his flute-driven trap sound and visually striking aesthetic.

9 August 2026 sees DJ Snake present Pardon My French as the global superstar returns to the Croisette with his famed PMF collective, bringing high-energy bass, trap and dance music to close the festival.

This summer marks two decades since Les Plages Électroniques began as a small local gathering in 2006. Today, the festival welcomes more than 60,000 attendees from around the world and presents over 90 artists annually across six stages spanning the beach, rooftops, the Palais des Festivals and the open sea.

Set between the Bay of Cannes and the Croisette, the festival has become a defining symbol of summer in the South of France with an immersive experience from beach sunsets to late-night afterparties inside the Palais.

The 20th anniversary edition will celebrate the festival’s heritage while pushing forward with enhanced production, new stage concepts, special collaborations and commemorative moments honouring two decades of creativity and connection.

In August 2026, the Croisette will once again transform into one of Europe’s biggest dancefloors as the countdown begins for the festival’s most anticipated edition yet.
