2026 programming

Boris Way

He has established himself as one of the key figures in the French tech-house and melodic techno scene. A triple gold record, supported by Tiësto, David Guetta, and Benny Benassi, he captivated the 1,300 spectators at the Élysée Montmartre in late 2024 with a memorable headline performance. His track "Uber on Call" reached the Beatport MainStage Top 10 in 2025. On the Bassin Ouest stage, his set promises to be the highlight of the day's electronic music.

Odetto

He presents his Sunset Radio project, where rap converses with funk in an aesthetic rooted in the 80s and the warmth of the Mediterranean. Revealed by his single Bonheur Sampler, this singer-songwriter with tens of millions of streams blends theatricality and sincerity in a show that is uniquely his own.

And more names to come!

The local scene

Mr. Peabody

He travels from Boulogne-sur-Mer with his guitar and his stage presence. Formed in 2018, the band built its reputation on the Opal Coast through countless concerts and unwavering conviction. Their first EP, The Bear, released in 2024 and recorded in a DIY style, encapsulates their influences: funk, alternative rock, stoner, and a touch of country.

Mr. Toulouse

He takes to the decks with a house sound rooted in 90s influences and tinged with disco. A DJ originally from Lille, who held a residency at Magazine Club, he has shared the decks with Busy P, Bon Entendeur, and Myd, and has performed in Tokyo, Manchester, and Buenos Aires. His sets never leave the dance floor.

 

Cypher Element × The Case

They bring a distinctly hip-hop dimension to the festival. The collective offers a hybrid show, blending rap and breakdancing performances, battles, and moments of shared experience. These are local artists whose stage is the street and whose primary material is human energy.

Color Snake

Riding high on their success in the region for the past few years, the 4 friends are embarking on a festival tour in 2026 and will make a stop at the Marina to set the festival ablaze!
Inspired by the energy and riffs of bands like The Hive, Arctic Monkeys or even the French band BB Brunes, the Color Snakes are ready to electrify you on May 30th!

 

A second edition that is gaining momentum

The first edition laid the groundwork: a festival rooted in its local area, open to all, with the marina as its natural backdrop. For this 2026 edition, the organizers are taking things to the next level. Two simultaneous stages, two national headliners, a lineup spanning genres from alternative rock to electro and hip-hop, and a site open from noon until midnightFor those who wish to extend the evening, official after-parties are organized in establishments in Calais Nord until 3 a.m. The Western Basin offers the event a setting that few cities can boast: water just a few meters away, pontoons, an open sky, and the unique energy of a port in celebration. A demonstration by the SNSM (French Sea Rescue Society) is also planned in the basin, a reminder that this place has a history and is brought to life by the people who keep it vibrant every day!
