Cannes Lions is almost upon us again, and as has become its tradition, Spotify is bringing a star-studded lineup to France, sharing its list of nighttime performances exclusively with The Hollywood Reporter.
Raye, Central Cee and Beastie Boys founding rapper Mike D will all play night one on June 23, while Mumford & Sons, John Summit and Lykke Li will close out for June 24.
The 2026 lineup stays on theme for Spotify’s usual intention with Spotify Beach to showcase the fastest-rising stars and biggest stories in the business alongside more more veteran acts. Last year’s lineup featured Cardi B and Mark Ronson alongside the likes of Sombr, Alex Warren and Lola Young.
Raye in particular is reaching new highs just two years removed from her Grammy nomination for best new artist, as she’s had one of the biggest hits of the year with “Where Is My Husband!” while her second album This Music May Contain Hope! has been garnering early Grammy buzz as a contender for album of the year. John Summit, meanwhile, is becoming a household name as one of the biggest DJ’s on the planet, while Mike D — already a legend as a founder of one of hip-hop’s seminal groups — is set to release his first-ever solo album later this summer.
Spotify has yet to share its daytime programming, only saying in a release that attendees will “hear from some of the most influential voices across music, entertainment, fashion and culture.” Last year’s daytime lineup included panels featuring Paris Hilton, Jake Shane and Charlie Puth among others alongside a suite of Spotify executives.
