The global crossroads
Of the music industry
MIDEM 2025 is not only a professional event, it is a celebration of music in all its forms.
AN EVOLUTION TOWARDS MODERNITY
Over the years, MIDEM has transformed, becoming not only an essential business meeting place but also a space for thinking about the evolution of the music industry and for presenting the latest technological innovations. The evening concerts also enriched the program, making MIDEM a complete event combining business and entertainment.
THE EDITION OF THE RISE OF LIVE MUSIC AND THE EXPORT OF FRENCH ARTISTS
For this 2025 edition, MIDEM, organized by Live Nation, will focus on the rise of live music. Music, more than ever, is experienced live. Concerts by emerging and established artists will be at the heart of this new edition, offering immersive and innovative artistic experiences.
AN EVENT OF RENEWAL AND OPTIMISM
MIDEM 2025 will be an opportunity to take stock of a music industry in full transformation, marked by cautious optimism. MIDEM remains at the forefront of these evolutions, offering a unique platform for exploring new technologies and market dynamics. A unique experience where business meets live, and where every moment is an opportunity to connect, be inspired and celebrate music in all its forms.
For this edition of MIDEM 2025, our ambition is to create an unforgettable musical experience that resonates well beyond professional circles. By transforming Cannes into a lively and dynamic scene, we aim to attract music lovers to iconic and prestigious locations such as the Palais des Festivals, Croisette Station, and many other captivating sites.
A WINDOW OPEN TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC
Our programming will be both exclusive and accessible, based on a general and transversal approach. By presenting internationally renowned artists to the French public, we aim to create a virtuous circle: the presence of these artists will increase the reputation and attractiveness of the event, thus contributing to the success of the professional convention.
EMERGING TALENTS AND UNIQUE ENCOUNTERS
MIDEM 2025 will also be a platform for emerging talent, with a particular focus on French and European artists.
ORIGINAL AND AMBITIOUS CREATIONS
To ensure the attractiveness of the event, we have set up a program of ambitious artistic commissions. By provoking encounters between different musical worlds and by presenting original creations, we promise an exceptional program that will seduce festival-goers with its novel and innovative character.
