Golden Coast is a festival devoted entirely to rap and hip-hop, held over three days at the end of August in the Parc de la Combe à la Serpent, on the western edge of Dijon.

The dates of the fourth edition, 27 to 29 August 2027, were announced on the festival's screens on its final night. ## What to expect Expect big-name French rappers, rising artists and international guests playing across several stages from afternoon to late at night, with a festival campsite for those staying the whole weekend. ## Tips for the day Tickets and passes are sold on the official website.
