The island of beauty is not just beaches, sea, sun, relaxation, nature and spectacular landscapes. The island of beauty is also culture, history, entertainment and music. Here are some of the main music events taking place in Corsica from May to September.
The link between the island and Jazz is strong and this is evidenced by the numerous events dedicated to this genre of music. One of the main ones is the Ajaccio Jazz Festival: the main inhabited center of Corsica resounds with the notes of great jazz music thanks to performances by international artists and some of the most promising young artists of the moment.

In July, jazz gives way to a decidedly different kind of music: rock. Calvi on The Rocks is a festival that combines digital arts, electronic music, rock and hip hop, thanks to the skill of internationally renowned artists and DJs, all with a unique background: the city of Calvi.

Another event in which music will be the absolute protagonist of the feast is Festivoce. The second week of July takes place in Pigna and, year after year, it gets bigger and bigger. It involves both Corsican and international artists and includes performances in the streets, churches and squares, parallel to those included in the official programming. In fact, Festivoce can be considered as a sort of itinerant appointment, which will touch many of the ancient and picturesque villages of Balagne.
