New Moods returns for its third season this October, bringing another packed programme of live music and tribute acts to the heart of Monte-Carlo.

Since reopening in 2024, the intimate concert venue has established itself as a popular destination for autumn and winter nights in Monaco, with performances every Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

Revived at the initiative of Stéphane Valeri, President-Delegate of Monte-Carlo Société des Bains de Mer, New Moods is managed by Stéphane Lobono, with its increasingly eclectic musical programme curated by Alfonso Ciulla, Artistic Director of the Group.

A season of musical favourites

Running from 1 October 2026 to 27 March 2027, the new season will once again put tribute bands centre stage, celebrating some of the biggest names in rock, pop and French and Italian music.

Audiences can expect evenings dedicated to the music of Ed Sheeran, Céline Dion, Lady Gaga, ABBA, Madonna, Bob Marley, Eros Ramazzotti and Johnny Hallyday, alongside tributes to other major artists and bands.

The programme will also provide a platform for homegrown performers. The MC Talents evening returns to showcase local artists, while Monegasque rock band Rabata Roca will also take to the New Moods stage.

Live music remains at the heart of New Moods, but the venue is designed as a complete night out, combining performances with drinks and food in relaxed surroundings.

For the new season, Victor Marion, head chef of Café de Paris Monte-Carlo, has created a refreshed menu built around dishes for sharing and informal dining.

New Moods for all ages

New Moods isn’t just about late-night entertainment. This season, the venue will once again open its doors to younger audiences with two special family events.

Halloween celebrations take over New Moods on 28 October, with an afternoon dedicated to children aged four to 12, while 20 December brings a special Christmas event designed for toddlers.

With entertainment, seasonal decorations and snacks, as well as a dedicated space for parents, the two events offer families a chance to experience a very different side of New Moods during the festive season.

A venue for private events

Beyond its regular programme, New Moods is also available for private hire throughout the year, providing a distinctive setting for birthdays, private parties and corporate events.

Described as a “Plug & Play” venue, the space can accommodate between 40 and 200 guests and is available as a turnkey rental, complete with stage, sound and lighting equipment and event staff.

With the technical infrastructure already in place and no time restrictions, the venue can be adapted to suit a wide variety of private and corporate occasions in the heart of Monte-Carlo.

With its combination of familiar music, local talent and an intimate setting just off Place du Casino, New Moods is ready to bring live entertainment back to Monte-Carlo as the winter season approaches.
