About this venue
Le Silo isn’t just a venue—it’s a striking piece of industrial architecture turned into one of Marseille’s most distinctive live-event halls. Built as a former grain silo and thoughtfully reinvented as a performance space, it blends raw, port-side character with modern staging standards. With a capacity of up to 2,000 guests, it’s large enough for major touring shows while still keeping the atmosphere close to the stage.
Inside, the experience is defined by acoustics and versatility. The auditorium is designed to adapt to different formats—from amplified concerts to theatre, comedy, and more—so the room feels “right-sized” rather than cavernous. Clear sightlines, comfortable seating, and practical on-site amenities help the night run smoothly, even on sold-out dates.
Address: 35 Quai du Lazaret, Marseille, France. Set by the docks in the Arenc/Euroméditerranée area, the entrance is typically an easy short walk from Arenc – Gantès tram stop (T2) or from Joliette metro station (Line 2); nearby options include Arvieux and Espercieux parking.

About the city
Marseille, a lively Mediterranean city on the coast, stands out as one of Europe’s most appealing destinations for top-tier events. Its energy comes from a blend of sea, culture, and urban momentum, making it easy to pair a concert or a sporting match with the relaxed rhythm of southern France. The city is known for its open atmosphere and diverse neighborhoods, so every trip feels distinctive, whether you’re coming for a major spectacle or a more intimate performance.
When it comes to arriving and getting around, Marseille relies on a strong transport network. Local transit is run by RTM and includes the métro, tramway, and buses that quickly link key city hubs with major arenas and stadiums. If you arrive by train, the central gateway is Gare de Marseille-Saint-Charles, from which it’s straightforward to continue to different parts of the city. If you fly in, Aéroport Marseille Provence (MRS) offers practical access to the region and solid links to the city, keeping travel planning simple and stress-free.
If you’re coming for an event, Marseille rewards you beyond the venue. Stroll along Vieux-Port to feel the city’s pulse among boats and promenades, then step into Le Panier, a picturesque old district of narrow lanes and local charm. For a memorable panoramic view, many head to Notre-Dame de la Garde, while sea and nature lovers often explore the coastline and coves toward Calanques. That way, a concert or match naturally becomes a full city experience.
