The Wavelength Creator Pier at Cannes Lions 2026

Five days. Two speedboats. One private Pier and a great beach club. A blueprint for how brands actually win festival week.

LONDON, May 2026 — Wavelength Network today unveiled The Wavelength Creator Pier, a four day takeover of the Cannes waterfront that promises to be the most talked-about activation of Cannes Lions 2026. Running 22–25 June, The Creator Pier trades the airless festival stand for sun, salt water and stories worth sharing a premium, invite-only base camp where we are hosting brands, partners and friends, capturing festival-defining content and spark conversation on and off the Croisette.

This is festival week, reimagined: a private Pier on the Croisette, two speedboats on standby, watersports and swimming at the door, sunset cruises across the Bay of Cannes, dinners under the stars on the Lérins Islands, exclusive after-dark parties and an embedded social content team turning every moment into shareable, brand-ready assets within hours.

“Cannes Lions is brilliant but predictable. We wanted to build something that gives us a genuinely different way to host clients, creators and produce content and be talked about during festival week. A speedboat tour of Cannes Bay generates more social content than a meeting room ever will.” - Alistair Gosling, Co-Founder & CEO, Wavelength
