Marsatac Festival 2026 (28th Edition) Marseille, France
Overview
Marsatac 2026 celebrates its 28th edition, continuing its reign as Marseille’s most influential underground and urban music gathering. Nestled in the stunning seaside surroundings of Parc Borély, the festival is a vibrant collision of hip-hop, electronic beats, and alternative sounds. Known for its “impertinent” spirit and commitment to artistic discovery, Marsatac transforms the park into a massive open-air party that captures the unique energy of France’s second city.
The 2026 edition promises an explosive weekend, featuring a curated mix of international heavyweights and the absolute best of the local “Marseillais” scene. Beyond the main stages, the festival is famous for its “La Frappe” project, a dedicated platform that showcases the next generation of French rap talent.

FAQ's
What are the age restrictions for Marsatac 2026?
The festival is strictly prohibited for children under 12 years of age for health and safety reasons. Minors aged 12 to 17 must be accompanied by a legal guardian or a responsible adult designated by the legal guardian via an official waiver. A valid ID for both the minor and the accompanying adult must be presented at the entrance to Parc Borély.
Can I pay with cash inside the festival?

Any remaining balance on your wristband can be refunded to your bank account after the festival through a request portal on the website.
Is re-entry allowed during the day?
Generally, for security reasons, any exit from the festival grounds is final. Make sure you bring everything you need for the day (sunscreen, sweaters for the evening, power banks) before entering the park. VIP ticket holders may occasionally have specific re-entry privileges, but it is best to check the 2026 terms upon arrival.
What happens if it rains?
Marsatac is an open-air festival and proceeds regardless of the weather (except in cases of extreme safety hazards). The venue at Parc Borély features some natural shade and covered structures, but bringing a light rain poncho is recommended. Umbrellas with sharp points are prohibited, so waterproof clothing is your best defense against a Mediterranean shower.

Yes, Marsatac provides dedicated access and viewing platforms for people with disabilities. There are specialized restroom facilities and staff on-site to assist with navigation through the park. It is recommended to email the organizers at the provided contact address if you require specific assistance or accessible parking.
