Creativity, Cocktails, and Connection at Spotify's Cannes Lions kickoff event.

Launching the brand’s presence at the global Festival of Creativity, this opening night celebration was hosted at a beautiful private villa in the center of Cannes’ La Californie district.

A mural was created specifically for the event by London-based artist Lakwena Maciver who is known for her colorful, boldly patterned, text-based work. This work informed the design of the space, with bold, geometric, architectural structures silhouetted against the beautiful scenery of the French Riviera as well as a bespoke boules court and spritz bar.

The evening’s main event was a performance from Grammy Award-winning artist H.E.R and guests including Paris Hilton, Matt Kaplan, Alex Cooper, Trevor Noah, Emma Chamberlain and Amanda Gorman.
