The Fourth Edition of the SXM Festival will take place from March 10 to 15 in 2021; on the Island of Saint Martin. The "most beautiful festival in the world" once again promises to be the most exciting electronic music event of the spring.

The SXM Festival will celebrate its fourth edition in Saint Martin a year after having proven its ability to bounce back in a difficult context. From March 13 to 17, 2019, we saw how the SXM Festival, which we noticed and recommended in 2016, kept all its promises and even more.

You must refer to 5 reasons not to miss SXM Festival. Visit Saint Martin in 2021, the most beautiful festival in the world.

1. A heavenly setting of Saint-Martin:

It is worth remembering. The small Franco-Dutch Island of Saint-Martin in the Caribbean offers idyllic conditions for a musical festival.

The reality of SXM winter dragged on in our European regions, dancing with your toes in the sand and enjoying stable weather at 28°C.

By investing no less than a dozen venues, the festival during the 5 days and nights that the event lasts makes the most of the island. Beyond the Happy Bay site, SXM is stepping ahead to the four corners of Saint Martin.

Beach clubs, boats sailing in the lagoon, or nightclubs are the scene of more intimate parties. And like every year, a spectacular Terres-Basses property will welcome VIP bracelet holders in a music video set.

The Sandy line villa is inaccessible to ordinary people for the rest of the year, estimated at over 20 million euros.

2. Ideal conditions for festival-goers:

In an era, festivals are multiplying faster than bread, SXM stands out for the quality of the experience offered to its audience. With 5 to 6,000 bracelets in circulation and rarely more than 3 to 4,000 people simultaneously in the same place, the festival is on a human scale.

We wait very little, and; we spend a maximum of time enjoying the performances of the artists again in optimal conditions. Such as space for dance perfectly tuned Soundsystem hyper polished "neo-hippie and eco-bohemian" scenography.

With an average age of 33 and 15% of festival-goers aged 40 and over, SXM does the trick in bringing together a seasoned audience used to frequent; the crème de la crème of electronic events around the world.

3. A line-up that speaks for itself:

The list of booked artists speaks for itself. SXM displays a line-up of rare density without falling into the easy. Because behind the headliners hide a myriad of DJs. Whose performances on the secondary stages of the festival marked the spirits last year. (Marco Carola, Ricardo Villalobos, Bedouin, Loco Dice).

We think of Amine K, Sabo, Thugfucker, Chaim, Jenia Tersol, who all performed on Ocean Stage, the intimate second stage at Happy Bay. We will also find live the Mexican Sainte Vie.

More than 50 names announced already in one of the most exciting stages of the year.

4. A festival committed to sustainability:

Pallets left in the port by cruise ships, old canvases straight from the boat cemetery, deadwood, or palms fallen from trees; the uses of recycled materials, in particular, to build the two main stages; is at the heart of the process of the festival since its inception.

This year SXM has pledged to go one step further by virtually eliminating the use of single-use plastics. With electricity favoring the use of biodegradable products or solar energy to power its stages.

The carbon footprint of such an event a large majority of festival-goers; by plane, almost all DJs travel. However, shouldn't these initiatives be welcomed?

5. Who does not forget the island of Saint-Martin:

On an island, more than 90% destroyed by Hurricane Irma in 2017, not getting involved in the reconstruction of the island. It was unthinkable for the SXM team.

In 2019, the Two Bunch Palms Foundation, to provide school supplies and rehabilitate recreation centers on the island, was created, bringing together organizers, artists, and volunteer participants.

Resources and funding have been provided to the SXM DOET by the volunteer program. This program is very active on the Dutch side of the island. So many opportunities to contribute to the reconstruction efforts of Saint Martin for festival-goers, often well-off and mostly from North America and Europe.

Saint Martin residents and residents of neighboring islands; get benefit from preferential rates to access the event and avoid transforming the grounds of the SXM Festival into a ghetto for privileged parties.

What is good to know?

1) For the length of the festival, a shuttle system will be in place. (to connect all SXM sites and the main hotels on the island).
