Marsatac FestivalFestival Marsatac

Marsatac is Marseille’s premier urban and electronic music festival. Founded in 1999, it runs annually in early summer in Parc Borély. It focuses on hip-hop, rap, reggae and electronic music, pairing local talent with major headliners 1. Over three days show-goers enjoy live concerts and DJ sets in a festive outdoor atmosphere.

Originating from Marseille’s underground hip-hop scene in the late 1990s, Marsatac has grown into a major regional youth music gathering. It reflects Marseille’s urban culture and its history of social activism through music. The festival’s organizers emphasize community and diversity, highlighting local artists and inclusive values 1.
