MOGA Essaouira 2025 unveils full line-up for Morocco’s most magnetic boutique festival
From Bonobo to Apollonia, Magda and Folamour: over 70 artists set to transform the coastal city into a ritual of music, art and community.
Essaouira is ready to pulse again. From October 1 to 5, the Moroccan coastal city nestled between the Atlantic and its historic medina becomes the stage for MOGA Festival, a gathering that has always been more than music – a cultural ritual.
Six years since its inception, MOGA has become a legend: an oasis where world-class house and techno intertwine with wellness, art and local roots. The 2025 line-up reads like a journey in itself: Bonobo, DJ Tennis, Folamour and Apollonia join fresh additions such as Magda, Dorian Craft, Enzo Leep, Jorge Caiado, Luca Saporito (Audiofly) and Rita Soko, spread across four immersive stages — Main, Garden, Wild and Terrace — set against palm trees, dunes and the ocean breeze.
The balance is MOGA’s secret. A free OFF program takes over Essaouira’s medina on October 1 and 2, filling squares and alleys with music, while the IN program runs October 3–5 at the legendary Hôtel Le Golf d’Essaouira, where sound meets luxury. Beyond the dancefloor, festival-goers can dive into morning yoga, creative workshops, pop-up gastronomy and art installations, shaping a complete sensorial journey.
MOGA is not just a festival. It’s an invitation to extend the summer, to live Morocco not as a tourist but as part of a global community that dances, breathes and creates together.
