Where to go in Marseille: events, concerts and shows worth your night
Marseille is the second city of France and the loudest: a hip-hop capital, an opera house in the old port district, a museum on the sea that became the city’s symbol, and a night that runs from the Cours Julien to the docks. Below is where to go in Marseille for a night out, with addresses, and what tends to be on when.
Concerts and live music in Marseille
Le Dôme and the Orange Vélodrome take the arena tours; the mid-sized rooms are Le Moulin (47 boulevard Perrin) in the north and the Espace Julien (39 cours Julien) in the centre, with the Cabaret Aléatoire at the Friche la Belle de Mai for electronic and hip-hop. The Opéra de Marseille (2 rue Molière), an art deco house behind the Old Port, stages opera and concerts from October to June, and Le Silo (35 quai du Lazaret), a converted grain silo on the docks, hosts concerts, dance and the Ballet National de Marseille.
Marseille nightlife: Cours Julien and La Joliette
Cours Julien, up the hill from the Canebière, is the bar and street-art quarter, with live music and a night market feel until about 2 am. The Old Port has the terraces; La Joliette and the docks to the north the clubs and the Friche la Belle de Mai, an arts complex with a rooftop that runs concerts and DJ nights in summer. The Metro stops around 12.30 am, later at weekends.
Museums and galleries in Marseille for an evening
The Mucem (7 promenade Robert Laffont, mucem.org), the lace-concrete museum of Mediterranean civilisations on the harbour mouth, is open late on Fridays and connected by footbridge to the Fort Saint-Jean. The Friche la Belle de Mai (41 rue Jobin) holds galleries, studios and a skate park in a former tobacco factory, and the Musée Cantini in the centre the modern collection.
Marseille festivals and events by season
- Winter: the Marseille Jazz des cinq continents planning, the Chandeleur navettes at Saint-Victor in February, and the Christmas santon fair on the Canebière.
