About Espace Julien
Espace Julien is Marseille's most significant live music venue, having hosted an extraordinary array of French and international artists since 1989. Located on the Cours Julien, Marseille's most culturally vibrant street, the venue has been at the centre of every important movement in Marseille's music scene — from the city's renowned hip-hop scene to its contemporary electronic music culture. Its main room's excellent acoustics and sightlines make it ideal for both standing concerts and club events.
History
Espace Julien opened in 1989 and became immediately central to Marseille's cultural life. It played a particularly important role in the development of Marseille's hip-hop scene in the early 1990s, providing a platform for the city's extraordinary rap talent at a time when few venues took the genre seriously.
