As the Formula 1 Grand Prix weekend heats up at the end of May, Sunset will once again transform the shores of the Méridien Beach Plaza into the most coveted celebration in town, blending music, art, and high-octane vibes.
Now in its 12th edition, Sunset has become more than just a party, it’s a signature of Monaco’s Grand Prix scene. What started as a private gathering among friends has grown into a must-attend beachfront festival attracting global celebrities, international DJs, and an eclectic mix of locals and visitors. Created by Monaco-based entrepreneurs Thomas Peeters and Cédric Houdrouge, Sunset continues to push boundaries, promising three days of immersive experiences and unmatched atmosphere.
The event’s iconic beachfront location at the Méridien Beach Plaza is once again set to offer guests front-row views of the Mediterranean, accessible by tender for those arriving fresh from the track. From noon until midnight each day, Sunset delivers a laid-back yet luxurious vibe, seamlessly mixing sophistication with the free-spirited energy of a beachside gathering.
Headlining the 2025 edition are artists like PAWSA, Salomé Le Chat, Mattéo Diop, Parallelle, and Rammö, with more names soon to be announced. As always, the music is just part of the story—art installations, live performances, and a dramatic fireworks finale ensure every moment is designed to dazzle.
Adding flavour to the festival is the return of Casa Sunset, now in its second year. This open-access space within the venue offers bold Mexican fusion cuisine curated by chefs Paola Segura and Yoni Gurman, along with expertly crafted cocktails and a live stream of the Grand Prix. Nearby, La Petite Plage provides a serene escape with panoramic sea views and signature Sunset flair.
Sunset’s draw extends beyond music and food – it’s a magnet for A-list names. Past editions have welcomed everyone from Justin Bieber and Bella Hadid to Charles Leclerc, Max Verstappen, and Jason Derulo, firmly cementing its place as the place to be during Monaco’s most glamorous weekend.
