What's on in Monaco, 5th to 11th Aug

maBoum's guide to going out in Monte Carlo.

It's chill out time this week, as most of the world takes a break at the beginning of August. Holiday makers spend the day snoozing in the sunshine, then partying in the cooler night air. Our choices for club music this week are the Cafe del Mar lounge music session by the beach tonight, and Ultra Nate at Black Legend tomorrow. And if you want something a bit more electro, try Javi Mula or Olivier Darock.

If you're looking for daytime activities, visitors are still welcome at the big exhibitions, Damien Hirst at the Oceanographic Museum, or the Japanese Kyoto to Tokyo cultural show in the Grimaldi Forum. There are also mainstream music offerings, such as the Michael Jackson tribute, and the last 2 concerts by Elton John and Ray Cooper.

And above all, tell your friends about maBoum!
