As the summer of 2025 approaches, the Orange Vélodrome in Marseille is set to become a hotspot for music lovers, with two major performances lined up that promise to electrify the audience. French DJ David Guetta will take the stage on June 21, 2025, for the Fête de la Musique, marking his first solo performance at the iconic stadium. Following him, global reggaeton sensation Bad Bunny is scheduled to perform on July 1, 2026, with ticket sales opening soon for eager fans.
David Guetta, the world’s most listened-to DJ, is bringing his much-anticipated "Monolith Tour" to Marseille. This tour has already captivated tens of thousands across Europe and America, showcasing a blend of stunning musical performances and spectacular visual artistry. According to Billboard, this tour is touted as "one of the most ambitious" of Guetta's career. The excitement surrounding his concert is palpable, with pre-sales for the Marseille event starting on May 22, 2024, and the general sale scheduled for May 24, 2024. Given Guetta's immense popularity, it’s no surprise that tickets for previous dates on the tour sold out within hours.
The Vélodrome, which has recently transformed into a cultural landmark, has hosted major artists like Beyoncé in June 2023 and will feature Bruce Springsteen on May 31, 2025. Following Guetta, Bad Bunny's performance will further solidify the venue's status as a premier location for international pop culture. Other artists scheduled to perform at the Vélodrome in 2025 include Jul on May 24, IAM on June 28, and Alonzo on July 19.
At 57 years old, Guetta continues to dominate the music scene with over 80 million monthly listeners on Spotify. He has collaborated with global stars such as Sia, Bebe Rexha, and Anne-Marie, and recently headlined the Ultra Music Festival in Miami. His consistent ranking as the number one DJ worldwide for four consecutive years underscores his enduring appeal and influence in the industry.
Meanwhile, Bad Bunny is set to make waves with his upcoming performance on July 1, 2026. Known for merging reggaeton and trap music, he has become a global phenomenon, particularly after the success of his albums "Un verano sin ti" (2022) and "Nadie sabe que lo va a pasar mañana" (2023). In 2022, he was recognized as the most listened-to artist in the world on Spotify, and in 2023, he secured the second spot with an impressive 16.3 billion streams, only trailing behind Taylor Swift.
The ticket office for Bad Bunny's show will open on May 8, 2025, at 12 PM, and fans are expected to flock online to secure their spots. Given Bad Bunny's meteoric rise in the music industry, the anticipation for this concert is immense. His performance at the Vélodrome will be part of the "Debi Tirar Mas Fotos World Tour," which will see him travel across Latin America, Europe, and Asia. Additionally, he will perform at Paris La Défense Arena on July 4, 2026, marking his return to France after a seven-year hiatus.
As these two powerhouse artists prepare to take the stage, the excitement in Marseille is palpable. The combination of Guetta's electrifying DJ sets and Bad Bunny's infectious reggaeton beats promises to create unforgettable experiences for fans. With the Vélodrome solidifying its place as a cultural epicenter, the upcoming concerts are set to be landmark events in the city’s vibrant music scene.
The convergence of these musical giants at the Orange Vélodrome not only showcases the venue's growing prominence but also highlights the evolving landscape of global music, where diverse genres and artists come together to create a rich tapestry of entertainment. As fans gear up for these performances, one thing is clear: the summer of 2025 in Marseille is shaping up to be a celebration of music that should not be missed.
