The life-enriching MOGA is back after a two year hiatus with another exceptional experience featuring an eclectic mix of music, wellness, art, and conferences in Essaouira for its 5th edition from October 2-6.
The much-loved cultural gathering spans five days and features a wealth of activities and concerts in the city centre (from October 2-3) and the irresistible main events at the Sofitel Essaouira Mogador Golf & Spa (October 4-6). The first lineup announcement includes Dekmantel Soundsystem, DJ Tennis, dOP, Margaret Dygas, Seth Troxler, Rhadoo, Prins Thomas, Hunee, Sonja Moonear, Shkoon and more.
The festival’s Portuguese edition recently set a record with 23,000 attendees. The Moroccan edition aims to host 16,000 festival-goers, 30% of whom are international. The OFF program on October 2-3 offers free and paid activities in Essaouira, including workshops, yoga classes, and concerts.
Among the international artists, the best of the Moroccan electronic scene was represented and the country was also highlighted through a multitude of cultural initiatives including a mural by street artist Said Sabah created with the support of the Moroccan Ministry of Youth, Culture, and Communication, as well as the Almada City Hall.
From October 4-6, the Sofitel Essaouira Mogador Golf & Spa will feature five stages with Moroccan, Portuguese, and international artists for the first time in two years after last year’s edition was cancelled due to an earthquake in the region.
