SUNSET Monaco 2025: Music, Mediterranean Magic & A Global Community
From May 23 to 25, the beach of the Méridien Beach Plaza will once again become the beating heart of the Monaco Grand Prix weekend, as SUNSET returns for its highly anticipated 12th edition. More than a beach party, SUNSET is a world apart – where music, freedom and Mediterranean elegance meet in a uniquely curated atmosphere.
Initially created as a private gathering between friends, SUNSET has grown into one of the most coveted events of the Formula 1 season. “Sunset started as a friends-and-family gathering. Now we’re curating world-class experiences with iconic artists—still rooted in our love for high-quality music, never losing the soul” explains co-founder Cédric Houdrouge. This authenticity remains at the core of the event, even as it evolves year after year.
For the 2025 edition, the musical programming once again sets the tone. The weekend will open on May 23 with PAWSA, the London-based DJ known for his raw, groove-laden tech-house sets and unmistakable flair behind the decks. His performance will set the stage for three days of sonic exploration, where international stars like Honey Dijon will bring her signature blend of house, disco, and fashion-forward energy. French duo Parallelle will return with their immersive live performance—combining minimal techno, melodic textures, and cinematic storytelling. Salomé Le Chat, one of the rising figures of the global underground scene, and II Faces, known for their hybrid, hypnotic sound, will complete the core headliners.
Beyond these marquee names, the line-up features a hand-picked selection of talents that reflect SUNSET’s spirit of discovery and diversity: Rammö, Alan McNamara, Sudre & Sami Daik, Oldboys, Pampa and Niddy will each bring their own rhythm and identity to the beach, turning every set into a moment of connection.
One of SUNSET’s signature experiences also returns this year: Casa Sunset. This open-access social and culinary spot offers guests a taste of Latin American fusion, imagined once again by chefs Paola Segura and Yoni Gurman. For 2025, a new addition will bring racing fans even closer to the action – screens broadcasting the Formula 1 TAG Heuer Monaco Grand Prix live from Monte Carlo, integrating the thrill of the race into the relaxed, sun-soaked rhythm of the beach.
As day turns to night, art takes the stage too. Monumental sculptures by French contemporary artist Richard Orlinski will transform the setting into a visual playground, while immersive performances and light shows invite guests into a full sensory journey. As always, the closing fireworks will light up the Riviera sky in celebration. SUNSET Monaco is not just an event – it’s a state of mind. With its loyal community, uncompromising curation, and soulful energy, it continues to redefine what celebration means, year after year, right where the sea meets the sound.
