MOGA FESTIVAL
October 1 – 5 2025
Essaouira, Morocco
Apollonia, Bedouin, Bonobo (DJ set), DJ Tennis, Folamour, Moblack, Nitefreak, Patrick Mason, Praslea, Saoirse and more all play.
MOGA Festival returns to its Moroccan roots with a sixth edition in Essaouira promising five days of tasteful music, culture and community connection. The 2025 edition will be held from October 1 to 5, with the first two days dedicated to the OFF program in Essaouira’s historic centre, followed by three days of IN programming at the Hôtel le Golf d’Essaouira & Spa.

The first wave of names for this edition makes for a tasteful blend of house, techno and minimal and everything in between from the likes of Apollonia, Arapu, Bonobo (DJ Set), Bedouin, DJ Tennis, Folamour, Janeret, Patrick Mason, Saoirse, and more.

MOGA is a boutique festival born in 2016 in Essaouira and celebrated for its breezy Atlantic vibes and tasteful electronic music. Attends are treated to rich local culture and cuisines as well as dancing under a baking sun or starry night sky with plenty of discoveries to be made in the heart of the wind city. The music is always a thoughtful blend of international and local sounds that also promotes the beautiful destination and the Souiri lifestyle through multiple events.

All this goes down at the Hôtel le Golf d’Essaouira & Spa, from 2:00 PM until 3:00 AM across four diverse stages – Main, Garden, Wild, and Terrace, with a diverse program featuring over 70 artists from around the world. Between sets, they can cool off in two refreshing swimming pools or wander through a beautiful palm grove.

Like its sister edition in Caparica, Portugal, MOGA Essaouira will feature a rich program of wellness sessions, workshops, art installations, panels and local culinary experiences that are all designed to deepen the connection between music, culture and people.

MOGA will welcome 16,000 attendees, including a strong international presence that reinforces its role as an unmissable destination festival that brings like-minded people together. As ever, MOGA is more than a festival, it’s a lifestyle, a tribe, and a celebration of cultural fusion.
