Calvi on the Rocks: on July, the most famous electronic music festival in Corsica

In the heart of summer, on one of the most beautiful Mediterranean islands, an exclusive event takes place, dedicated to electronic and rock music, with international artists. Let’s talk about the Calvi on The Rocks 2019. What better occasion to plan a vacation to Corsica?

The festival

The seventeenth edition of Calvi on the Rocks is an event for rock and electro music enthusiasts. During the first week of July, international musicians and DJs gather in the Corsican city to perform in different locations: the outdoor theatre, the beautiful beaches around Calvi and the coolest clubs. The line-up is not yet known, but some of the previous guest stars have been Laurent Garnier, Brodinski and Sébastien Tellier.

The festival is not just an opportunity to listen to music and dance in the marvellous setting of Corsican nature, but also a journey to discover the northwestern coast of the island, the wildest and most fascinating.

Calvi and surroundings: what to see

This part of Corsica is (wrongly) less popular than others among tourists. The wild nature, the crystal clear sea and the ancient cities make it, however, also one of the most fascinating. Waiting for the scheduled events, we recommend you to visit:

• Calvi. Small city, it is very rich in history and art. Among the must-see things and places, we suggest: the citadel on the promontory, the ancient Tour du Sel, the Pro-cathédrale Saint-Jean-Baptiste, the beaches.
• Balagne. Dedicate a couple of hours every day to see the most beautiful beaches, but also the imposing mountains. Do not miss the Road of the artisans, where you can discover the artisan tradition of these areas.

How to get to Calvi

To get to this city, you just have to book a place on one of the ferries to Corsica that brings visitors to Calvi. We recommend you to take a vehicle on the ferry.
