MOGA Essaouira, one of the world’s leading boutique festivals and late-summer escapes, has unveiled the final additions to its 2025 lineup, adding even more depth to an already adventurous bill. New names include techno innovator Dorian Craft, Spanish house talent Enzo Leep, Carpets and Snares label boss Jorge Caiado, tech house favorite Luca Saporito (Audiofly), minimal and disco icon Magda, and Scorpios Mykonos and Bodrum resident Rita Soko. They join over 70 artists set to perform, alongside previously announced heavyweights like Apollonia, Bonobo, Cabanne, DJ Tennis, Folamour, Janeret, Patrick Mason, and Saoirse.
Set against the stunning coastal backdrop of Essaouira, Morocco, MOGA Festival has established itself as the ultimate destination for music lovers and cultural explorers. More than just a festival, MOGA offers a full-spectrum sensory journey: golden beaches, Atlantic breezes, and sun-drenched afternoons that stretch into unforgettable nights. The eclectic soundtrack blends house, electronic, Afro, and global grooves with the city’s vibrant cultural fabric, creating a transformative experience for mind, body, and soul.
This year’s new additions were curated in part by house music tastemakers Deeproot, Bedouin Saga, and Life & Death, with a focus on underground storytelling and organic grooves. Festivalgoers can expect diverse sonic journeys across four distinct stages—Main, Garden, Wild, and Terrace—each offering its own immersive vibe under the Moroccan sun and stars.
Running for five days, MOGA 2025 opens October 1–2 with its beloved OFF program, featuring free daytime activities, intimate parties, and cultural events throughout Essaouira’s historic medina. From October 3–5, the action shifts to Hôtel le Golf d’Essaouira & Spa, where the IN program unfolds with full production, four stages, two pools, and more than 70 performers in a palm-lined oasis built for connection, exploration, and all-night dancing.
Inspired by its surroundings, MOGA Essaouira bridges global electronic music with Morocco’s Gnawa rhythms and Atlantic soul. Like its sister edition in Caparica, Portugal, the festival also presents a holistic offering of wellness sessions, workshops, culinary pop-ups, and art installations, welcoming over 16,000 international attendees for one of the most unique gatherings on the global festival circuit.
