REF Festival 2027

REF Festival returns to Nice from 7 to 9 May 2027 for its eighth edition, once again taking over Le 109 cultural centre, a former abattoir on Route de Turin. Across three days, house takes centre stage on several indoor and open-air stages. International guests will be joined by acts from France and the region, who shape the Côte d'Azur club scene throughout the year.

The programme includes REF Village, with installations and performances, food trucks, and stalls selling vinyl and merchandise. Before the weekend, the festival’s OFF events take place at several venues across the city. The three festival days themselves are held at Le 109, east of the city centre and accessible by bus and tram.

A three-day pass costs €38.25 at the current price level and is valid for all three days. Payments on site are cashless.
