Sun, sea and sand. The key ingredients for any great holiday. But what if you could also add chilled wine, sophisticated beats and sexy people? This is the winning formula of acclaimed DJ Gilles Peterson and he’s back with a splash in the fishing resort of Sete, South France from July 2 – 5. With something for party heads of all ages, this festival is one not to miss and thankfully not a spot of mud in sight. Oh no. Leave the glow sticks and wellies at home; shorts and a smile are all that’s required.
The action takes place in Sete, a picture-perfect fishing resort for four days in July. Don’t let the quaint scenery fool you as Sete has a selection of breath taking venues, from amphitheatres on the Med, to beach bars and a huge outdoor venue surrounding a lighthouse. Peterson is king of the vibes and this year won’t disappoint with an essential selection of jazz, electro and genre-busting artists such as Jazzanova, Earl Zinger, Carl Craig, Diplo, Laurent Garnier and the list goes on! Still not convinced? Well, you’ll be sharing the vibe with 4,000 other chilled, like-minded party heads too.
In its fourth year, Peterson’s Worldwide Festival is definitely for genuine music enthusiasts looking for modern, hip and new sounds. Place your trust in Peterson, like so many of his dedicated listeners on BBC Radio 1 have for years and enjoy the crème de la crème of the worldwide music scene. From Brazilian bossa nova, to French folk, Scandinavian modern jazz and funky electro, there’ll be plenty of music with a personality on offer.
Getting to Sete from the UK couldn’t be easier. One and a half hours from London Stansted to Montpellier on a budget airline should do the trick. And if you are a real jazz head, you could plan to spend some extra time in Montpellier either side of the festival – some of France’s hottest jazz can be found there. Sete is only a 20 minute train wide away.
Sete has plenty of hotels to choose from but if you’re missing your tent during the festival season, camping is also available! Many people do choose to stay at one of the many campsites and often end up partying day and night.
When not dancing the night away, be sure to visit the old harbor and you might even be lucky enough to find Gilles himself, with famous artists in tow, looking for people to play football with. All you need is a relaxed attitude and a serious party hard approach!
We all know how rubbish the British weather can be so how could you not want to take one of the best holidays of your life? I’ll be there for sure.

I am a backpack traveler. I found that if I look for work in a central hotel in big cities I can get accomodations for free, and enjoy city life. I travel city by cityfrom place to place. If you know about any cental hotel in a nice city that hires temps, please let me know. thanks fellow travelers.
