The Walking Bass Festival 2026 "The Last Raver": two nights of heavy bass in Marseille
Launched in 2018, The Walking Bass Festival has only ever skipped 2020. The 2026 edition goes by the title "The Last Raver" and leans into an end-of-the-world story: its crowd, nicknamed the "Walkers", moves between two venues over two nights, Friday 30 and Saturday 31 October. The organisers claim more than 20,000 ravers.
On Friday, from 10pm to 5am, the Salle des Sucres at La Plateforme, billed for 3,000 people, turns into the arena for the "Clash des Collectifs", where crews play head to head. Among the planned duels, Nash Metek (Tapage Nocturne) takes on Nout (Heretik), Majes faces Jaax (Impact), Prost meets Heartreaver (Modern Rave) and Bëtïses (La Bringue) goes up against Peaksou and Manil (Caisson Gauche Records).
On Saturday, from 6pm to 5am, the party moves to Parc Chanot, by the Rond-Point du Prado, across two stages. Expect hard techno, drum and bass, trance, tekno and bouncy, with Lil Texas, Vladimir Cauchemar, Samuel Moriero, Onlynumbers, Dual Damage, Mandragora, FLKN, Yoshiko and Vortek's B2B Omaks, plus a Technobus line-up. Creeds and LESSSS are also on the bill, with no night confirmed so far.
Tickets are sold on Shotgun, including a two-day pass; no prices are shown on the website. The website mentions no camping and no detailed practical guide: the timetable and site map are shared as images, and a dedicated page helps you find a hotel. The merch shop offers a jersey made with French sportswear brand NOLT from recycled materials. Past editions hosted Andy C, Angerfist, I Hate Models, Astrix and Nico Moreno.
At the end of October 2026, Marseille becomes the playground of The Walking Bass Festival. More events are waiting among festivals in Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur.
