Espace Léo Ferré concluded its musical programming on Saturday evening with a nostalgic celebration of 1990s and 2000s hits, marking the end of an era before the venue undergoes a complete transformation.
The Monaco Town Hall organised the final event in partnership with Ten Production, bringing together artists who defined two decades of popular music. Presenters Charly and Lulu, known for hosting the television programme Hit Machine, guided the audience through an evening of era-defining tracks.
Artists and atmosphere
The lineup featured Zouk Machine, Las Ketchup, L5, Boris, Allan Théo, Colonel Reyel, and Leee John from Imagination, each performing their best-known songs. DJs Miko and Tino opened and closed the evening, keeping the dancefloor active throughout the celebration.
The event drew a capacity crowd eager to experience the venue in its current configuration one final time. The festive atmosphere reflected both the nostalgia for the music and the significance of the venue’s imminent closure for renovation.
Transformation ahead
Mayor Georges Marsan explained the choice of event for the closing night. “We wanted to offer a musical event in a very festive spirit. The public was able to sing and dance with the artists who defined the 1990s and 2000s,” he said. “And in a few months, after summer 2026, we will welcome the public to a completely new setting, Live by Léo Ferré.”
The renamed and redesigned venue will focus on live performance programming when it reopens in September 2026. Until spring, Espace Léo Ferré remains available for private event bookings before construction begins.
The transformation represents a significant investment in Monaco’s cultural infrastructure, with the new Live by Léo Ferré designed specifically to accommodate live entertainment in the Principality. Details of the renovation scope and the venue’s new capacity have not yet been announced.
