Couleurs Urbaines Festival

17th Edition — June 27 to 29, 2025

For its 17th edition, the Couleurs Urbaines Festival confirmed its status as an unmissable reggae event in the French Southeast. Three evenings, from Friday, June 27 to Sunday, June 29, brought together thousands of festival-goers at Parc de la Navale in La Seyne-sur-Mer, in a warm and festive atmosphere.

2025 Headliners

• Alborosie—born in Sicily, trained in Jamaica, one of the most important artists of contemporary roots reggae. His albums Escape from Babylon, 2 Times Revolution, and Specialist Presents Alborosie & the Shengen Clan established him as a global reference in the genre. On stage, he delivers a powerful and danceable performance, blending spiritual roots with irresistible riddims.
• Taïro—a key figure in French reggae, his warm voice and sunny melodies—“Mon île,” “So Easy,” “Happy People”—have won over hundreds of thousands of fans in France and Europe. His concert in La Seyne-sur-Mer was a moment of intense communion with the audience.

The DJ Scene and Local Bands

In addition to the headliners, the 2025 edition showcased numerous artists from the regional and national reggae-dancehall scene, as well as high-caliber DJ sets: dub, dancehall, tropical bass, and afrobeats animated the evenings until the early hours, allowing festival-goers to dance non-stop facing the Mediterranean.

A Community Festive Spirit

As with every edition, Couleurs Urbaines 2025 cultivated the popular and inclusive festive spirit that defines its identity. The artisanal village, world food stalls, the Safer stand, and the atmosphere of mutual respect among festival-goers created a space where diversity is a richness and conviviality a rule.
