Four days, six stages set up on eight hectares of sand, more than one hundred and twenty artists, and the Mediterranean as a backdrop to every set. The Delta Festival has become in less than ten years the largest electronic music gathering in the south of France. The 2026 edition runs from Thursday 23 to Sunday 26 July 2026 on the Prado beaches in Marseille, with a Rio Carnival theme that irrigates both the stage design and all the programming of Le Colisée, the stage dedicated to Brazilian and Latin music.
2026 headliners: Adam Beyer, Kungs, Cerrone, Benny Benassi, Cascada, Franglish, Adèle Castillon, Sama' Abdulhadi, Maissouille, Acid Arab, Thylacine, Miss Monique : and a wave of hardcore, melodic techno and Brazilian baile funk discoveries.
The four festival stages
- Live Stage : the main stage: pop-electro and urban headliners;
- Éden Stage : the techno / melodic / underground stage;

What makes Delta unique
The setting. No other major French festival has the Mediterranean as its backdrop. The sunset over the sea during a techno set, and the chance to swim between two stages: it's the festival's signature experience.
The scale. With 150,000 festival-goers over four days, Delta now competes with Europe's very big festivals (Tomorrowland, Awakenings). But since the site is open and vast, you never feel trapped in a compact crowd.
The Marseille organisation. The festival works closely with the city: direct link with the M2 metro (Rond-Point du Prado), partnerships with hotels and campsites, and a whole flow-management system sized to absorb the peaks.

The transport challenge, and why a taxi remains the best option
Traffic and parking information is communicated by the organisers and the town hall before the event: check it before you set off. MR Taxi drops you as close as possible and picks you up at the exit, from all towns in the region, at the guaranteed maximum price announced at booking. If the place is hard to reach, I will give you an easily accessible meeting point.
It is advisable to book at least 24 hours ahead, but even at the last minute I adapt and find a solution. Estimate your trip on the Private transport page or contact us.
