MOGA Essaouira, one of the world’s leading boutique festivals and late summer getaways, completes its eclectic line up for 2025 edition

with new additions all adding extra depth and breadth to an already cultured line up. They include techno innovator Dorian Craft, Spanish house star Enzo Leep, Carpets and Snares label and record store boss Jorge Caiado, inventive tech house titan Luca Saporito (Audiofly), Items & Things’s dark minimal and disco queen Magda, Scorpios Mykonos and Bodrum resident Rita Soko and many more, with over 70 artists confirmed to perform at the festival. These latest names are in addition to the likes of the already revealed Apollonia, Bonobo, Cabanne, DJ Tennis, Folamour, Janeret, Patrick Mason, Saiorse and many more.

MOGA Festival is the ultimate destination festival for music lovers and cultural explorers alike. Set against the stunning backdrop of Essaouira, one of Morocco’s most underrated coastal gems, MOGA offers far more than just music – it is a full spectrum of experiences for all of the senses. Think golden beaches, Atlantic ocean breezes and sun-drenched afternoons that stretch deep into hedonistic nights which mean this boutique gathering allows you to extend your summer in style. The vibrant local culture of Essaouira is blended with a finely curated, eclectic soundtrack of house, electronic, Afro and global grooves so whether you’re dancing in the medina, soaking up sunset sessions by the sea, or connecting with the global MOGA tribe, this is a journey for mind, body and soul.

The new additions have in part been curated by house music connoisseurs Deeproot, Bedouin Saga and Life & Death and bring even more depth to the lineup, favouring the underground with a focus on musical storytelling and organic grooves. These artists will soundtrack a truly unique experience across four distinct stages: Main, Garden, Wild, and Terrace, with each offering a different sonic journey beneath Essaouira’s sun and stars.

Running for five days, MOGA kicks off with its beloved OFF program on October 1–2 which has an array of free daytime activities, intimate parties and cultural activities scattered throughout the city’s historic medina. From October 3–5, the action shifts to Hôtel le Golf d’Essaouira & Spa, where the IN program takes over with full production, over 70 artists, two pools, four immersive stages and a palm-lined oasis perfect for dancing, connection and exploration.

Inspired by its surroundings, MOGA combines global electronic music with local rhythms, celebrating Essaouira’s rich Gnawa heritage and Atlantic soul. Like its sister edition in Caparica, Portugal, MOGA Essaouira also includes a holistic program of wellness sessions, creative workshops, culinary pop-ups, and artistic installations and is expected to welcome 16,000 attendees from around the world.
