The countdown is on for one of Monaco’s most glamorous charity events, as the 76th Monaco Red Cross Gala is set to dazzle the Salle des Étoiles on Saturday, July 12. Presided over by His Serene Highness Prince Albert II and Her Serene Highness Princess Charlène, the glittering evening will bring together philanthropists, celebrities and supporters to celebrate the humanitarian work of the Monaco Red Cross.

The night promises fine dining, star-studded entertainment, and a healthy dose of rock’n’roll rebellion, courtesy of British music icon Billy Idol. Known for his defiant style and infectious energy, the legendary rocker will take to the stage, bringing decades of hits and his signature punk-infused sound to Monte-Carlo.

Guests will also have the chance to win luxury prizes in the evening’s prestigious raffle, traditionally one of the highlights of the event. The tombola will be hosted by renowned ballerina Aurélie Dupont and journalist Harry Roselmack, adding a touch of elegance and charm to proceedings. To round off the evening, a spectacular fireworks display will light up the Mediterranean sky.

In a generous gesture, celebrated artist Bernar Venet will donate one of his striking works, Generative Angles Painting – Red 11, to the Monaco Red Cross. Venet, a pioneer of conceptual art, is renowned for his sculptural explorations of line, geometry and form, and his donation reflects his support for the organisation’s humanitarian mission.

Since its creation in 1948 by Prince Louis II, the Monaco Red Cross has been working to assist the most vulnerable, providing aid both at home and abroad. Its efforts, guided by principles of humanity, neutrality and impartiality, continue to make a difference in times of crisis and need.

The Gala remains a vital fundraising event for these efforts, combining high society glamour with heartfelt generosity — all for a worthy cause.

Doors open at 20:00. Formal evening attire is required. Tickets for the event are priced at €1,900 per person, excluding drinks. Reservations can be made via Monte-Carlo Société des Bains de Mer by calling +377 98 06 36 36.
