MOGA Festival is set to return to its Moroccan birthplace for its sixth edition, bringing five unforgettable days of music, culture, and connection to Essaouira from October 1–5, 2025. Rooted in the rich traditions of the Moroccan coast and elevated by global electronic sounds, MOGA once again invites festivalgoers to immerse themselves in its signature blend of artistic expression and soulful community spirit.
The festival kicks off with two days of OFF programming in Essaouira’s historic city center, setting the tone with intimate events, cultural experiences, and a deeper exploration of the city’s vibrant heritage. From October 3 to 5, the celebration shifts to the stunning Hôtel Le Golf d’Essaouira & Spa, where the IN programming unfolds across four unique stages: Main, Garden, Wild, and Terrace, featuring performances from over 70 artists from around the globe.
The first wave of the 2025 lineup offers a tasteful journey through house, techno, minimal, and eclectic sounds with sets from Apollonia, Arapu, Bonobo (DJ Set), Bedouin, DJ Tennis, Folamour, Janeret, Patrick Mason, Saoirse, and more. Known for its refined curation and Atlantic breeze-laced vibe, MOGA continues to set itself apart as a boutique festival that celebrates both global innovation and local flavor.
Attendees can cool off between sets in two serene swimming pools or wander through a lush palm grove, creating a relaxing backdrop for daytime exploration and nighttime revelry. Beyond the music, MOGA Essaouira mirrors the spirit of its sister edition in Caparica, Portugal, with a full lineup of wellness sessions, workshops, art installations, panel discussions, and local culinary showcases. These offerings are designed to elevate the festival experience and forge meaningful connections between music, culture, and the global MOGA community.
With an expected attendance of 16,000, including a strong international crowd, MOGA Festival continues to grow as a vital destination for lovers of electronic music and cultural discovery. True to its roots, MOGA is more than a music festival—it’s a lifestyle, a tribe, and a vibrant celebration of global unity through art, sound, and shared experience.
