One of the biggest festivals in the south

After taking in some of Marseille’s most emblematic venues, including the Espace Julien, the Docks des Suds, the J4, the Friche la Belle de Mai and the Parc Chanot, the festival has now been taking place for 4 years in the idyllic setting of the Parc Borély, one of the city’s green lungs. Over the years, Marsatac has grown to become one of the biggest festivals in the south of France, attracting a host of established acts including Fonky Family (back again this year), Ghostface Killah, Amelie Lens, Orelsan, Vald and IAM.

An urban and electro programme

With Niska, Théodora, El GrandeToto, Menace Santana, Twerkistan and many more headlining the 2026 edition, Marsatac promises an explosive rap scene. You can also catch up with other established rappers such as La Mano 1.9, Jeune Morty and Kayla.
On the electro side, festival-goers can dance to the rhythms of Pablo Bozzi, LB aka LABAT, Mac Declos and Jan Verstraeten.

As well as international and national artists, Marsatac is keen to introduce local and regional artists to the scene, offering them the chance to perform on La Frappe, a stage dedicated to emerging talent.

The artists will be spread over 3 stages: Le Château, Le Calage and Le Virage.

A sustainable and socially responsible festival

The Marsatac festival is taking a number of steps to reduce its impact on the environment , notably by setting up a green brigade during the festival, sorting waste and promoting soft mobility.

The festival is also fully committed to the issue of sexist and sexual violence, and is working with the Safer programme to prevent such violence. In 2026, a new feature will be a 2.0 version of the application, which will provide a checklist to help you prepare for the festival, all the information you need to feel good at the festival, and a notification to let your friends and family know that you’re home.

It is also setting up prevention initiatives in festive environments, with Plus Belle la Nuit and Avenir Santé in particular providing harm reduction equipment.
