About this festival
For two nights, Utopia Festival transforms Friche la Belle de Mai in Marseille into a site for electronic music. The 2026 edition takes place on 25 and 26 September at the former tobacco factory, which organiser Cabaret Aléatoire runs as one of the centres of the French electronic scene. Artists from the local and international scene perform across four stages, with a programme spanning techno, house and hardtechno, percussive beats and electronic live sets. Confirmed acts include Colin Benders, Leo Pol, L'Amorosso, EARGASM GOD, Kloud and Vera Grace.
Admission starts at €33, with tickets sold via Shotgun. The organiser sees the festival as an inclusive project with a particular focus on female and non-binary acts. Spread across several halls and areas of the extensive factory site, the event has the feel of an urban club festival. Utopia has been running in Marseille since 2021, bringing established names together with new faces.
