Utopia Festival

26 Sept 2025 > 27 Sept 2025

Since 2021, Utopia Festival has been establishing itself as a not-to-be-missed event for electronic culture in Marseille. Organised by the Cabaret Aléatoire, the festival defends strong values of inclusion, tolerance and creativity around 4 stages with different sounds for an unforgettable experience.

A programme dedicated to electronic music

Utopia offers a demanding, cutting-edge line-up, mixing international artists with emerging talent. In 2025, the line-up includes Mark Broom, Sam Paganini, Somewhen, Traumer and, more recently, AnD, Cora Novoa, 8KAYS, Alya and Mija.

The festival is structured around 4 distinct stages, each with its own strong identity: Cartonnerie, Cabaret Aléatoire, Parking, Petit Théâtre.

Cartonnerie: techno stage
Car park: Friday: bouncy, festive, no-holds-barred sets, Saturday: Hard Techno
Cabaret Aléatoire: Electro stage
Petit Théâtre : Dedicated to live music and audiovisual performances, this stage showcases the hybrid forms of contemporary electronic creation: between electronic concerts, live A/V and proposals at the frontier of digital arts.
