Delta Festival

Delta has run every year since 2015 on the Plages du Prado, the long seafront parks south of the centre of Marseille, and has grown into one of the largest events on the French summer calendar. Le Claireur reported more than 150,000 expected for the 2025 edition, the eleventh, which ran from 27 to 31 August. It moved to 23 to 26 July in 2026, when Cerrone, Franglish, Kungs and Feder were among the names. That bill shows you what it is: a broad popular festival with electronic music at its centre, and a good deal of French pop and rap around it. Cerrone on a Marseille beach is about as Mediterranean as disco gets, and house fans will not need telling. The city's tourist office treats it as a major event and writes it up in those terms. The site is on the sand, so the sea is rarely more than a few minutes away. Guides put the 2027 edition in July or August with exact dates still to be announced, so we have left them out.
