From the Croisette to the Grid: AMAXXY at the Cannes Film Festival and the Grand Prix

Some events need no introduction. Every May, the French Riviera becomes the centre of the entertainment world, and two of its most iconic moments arrive almost back to back: the Cannes Film Festival and the Formula 1 Grand Prix in Monaco. For DJ AMAXXY, based in Cannes, these weeks have become a fixed point on the calendar.

Closing the Cannes Film Festival

AMAXXY has played the official closing of the Cannes Film Festival five years running. A closing night asks a lot of a DJ. The audience is international, the dress code is black tie, and the energy has to build from an elegant cocktail atmosphere to a full dance floor without ever feeling forced.

That is exactly where his open-format approach comes in. House, disco, funk, R&B, hip-hop and afro house are blended into one journey, read moment by moment from the booth.

Race weekend energy in Monaco

Off the track, Grand Prix weekend in Monaco is just as fast. AMAXXY has performed during the Monaco Grand Prix in 2022, 2023 (alongside F1 driver Esteban Ocon) and 2024, and at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. Race weekend parties need high energy that still matches Monaco's refined setting, whether on a rooftop above the circuit or at a VIP after-party.

Trusted by the brands behind the events

These stages are part of a wider list of corporate and brand clients, including Ferrari, LVMH, Audemars Piguet, Cannes Lions, MIPIM Cannes, the Cannes Yachting Festival and the Monaco Yacht Show. Each brief is different, but the aim stays the same: music that fits the brand and keeps guests talking long after the last record.
