As the engines roar through Monaco’s storied streets this May, the true insiders know where the Riviera’s pulse really beats — on the sands of the Méridien Beach Plaza, where SUNSET returns for its 12th dazzling edition. Running from May 23rd to 25th, 2025, this beachfront celebration has quietly become the place to see and be seen during the Formula 1 TAG Heuer Grand Prix de Monaco.
What began in 2013 as a private party among friends has blossomed into a global phenomenon, thanks to visionary founders Thomas Peeters and Cédric Houdrouge — the Monaco-based duo who also co-created Morocco’s famed MOGA Festival. Their mantra? High energy, zero pretense, and an experience where music, art, and Riviera elegance collide.
This year, SUNSET once again elevates the game. Headliners like PAWSA, Salomé Le Chat, Parallelle, and Mattéo Diop promise a curated soundscape of deep house and hypnotic techno, while sculptor Richard Orlinski’s monumental art installations turn the shoreline into an open-air gallery. Between sets, guests can retreat to Casa Sunset — a no-entry-fee pop-up dining haven offering bold Mexican fusion by acclaimed chefs Paola Segura and Yoni Gurman, with live Grand Prix coverage ensuring no one misses a beat.
Yacht tenders glide in, celebrities like Bella Hadid and Max Verstappen drop by, and from noon till midnight, SUNSET delivers pure Riviera magic — where bare feet in the sand meet Balearic beats and champagne flutes.
“Every year, we raise the bar,” says Peeters. “This one will be unforgettable.”
If Monaco is the crown jewel of the Grand Prix calendar, SUNSET is its glittering secret — an invitation to let go, connect, and dance beneath the stars. Access is by tender. The vibe? Effortlessly electric.
