The third edition of the Golden Coast Festival took place from August 28 to 30, 2026, at the Combe à la Serpent in Corcelles-les-Monts, near Dijon. The rap and hip-hop event drew a record-breaking crowd of approximately 85,000 attendees.

Organized across multiple stages, including the Zero Gravity stage and the Mothership by Snipes, the festival featured a dense lineup of prominent artists. Performers included Aya Nakamura, Macklemore, Damso, Busta Rhymes, Niska, Kalash Criminel, Eva, Sniper, Disiz, PLK, Leto, Rohff, Fianso, Josman, La Mano 1, and Georgio. Damso’s performance was specifically noted for its scenography.

To support the large turnout, organizers provided amenities such as food stands, a playground, a skate ramp, and a culinary area known as ‘Goldencook’. Logistics were managed through free shuttle services and 24-hour tramway service. As previously planned, the event maintained a total smoking ban to mitigate fire risks in the wooded environment and included mental health outreach initiatives supported by the French government and local organizations like the Centre Hospitalier La Chartreuse.
