All About Delta Festival

Matthieu Predal and Olivier Ledot were still studying when they launched the Delta festival, which became the beating heart of Marseille. Gathering youth from France and all around Europe at a huge festival with a unique concept was the organizers’ main goal. This is exactly what Delta festival did and was able to achieve.

Additionally, Delta received volunteer assistance from around 20 student organizations in the region.

One of the festival’s major features is it goes beyond a typical music festival, including various areas in which many exhibitions, events, and workshops take place.

Among the many diverse spaces, Delta festival features an Environment Hub, a Health Hub, an Artistic Hub, and a Nautical Sports Hub.

Those looking for an upscale experience can purchase a VIP ticket to benefit from Delta’s VIP area.

This ticket gives access to additional amenities and services, including access to the two rooftops, an exclusive bar, and an exclusive food truck.

Year after year, the festival budget is increasing.

For the first edition, Delta had a budget of €10,000 (around US$11,000). In 2021, the budget increased to reach €4.5 million (around US$4.9 million), of which 80% was self-financed. 

According to Matthieu Predal, the tickets and the drinks sold at the bar are the two major sources of profit, while 8% of the budget comes from public funding and sponsors.

Every year, the festival announces a lineup of around 250 music artists, who come from all corners of the world to deliver great performances. 

Sigma, Eelke Kleijn, and Bakermat are a few of the top names that have performed at this festival.

Delta’s popularity has grown over the years, and the event has seen an increase in attendance.

In 2021, Delta witnessed the attendance of around 90,000 festival-goers across three days. In its inaugural edition, which took place in 2015, 10,000 people attended the festival.

According to Matthieu Predal, this increase in the number of attendees indicates young people’s need to gather and share their unique experiences through a national event that resembles them.

Those who are interested in joining the crowd will have several ticket options to choose from, based on their schedule and budget.

Tickets are categorized into the number of days that you want to attend, as well as the regular and VIP access.

Delta festival guarantees a memorable experience with the best music sessions running until after midnight.

In this upcoming edition, the festival will be open from 12 PM to 2 AM from June 29 till July 2 and till 1 AM on the 3rd of July.

Being located on the beachside is another attraction of the festival. Delta features a Nautical Sports hub, in which festival-goers can take part in water activities including paddle, kayak, and big paddle.
