What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Mawazines defining feature is its scale combined with radical accessibility: with roughly 90 percent of concerts offered free of charge, the festival opens world class international programming to mass Moroccan audiences rather than restricting it to those who can afford premium tickets

02

The mystery stays covered

75 million people places it among the largest music festivals anywhere, achieved by spreading over 100 Moroccan and international artists across stages including OLM Souissi, Bouregreg Stage, Nahda Stage, and Chellah Stage

03

The city starts moving

Recent lineups have paired global headliners such as Will Smith, 50 Cent, Kid Cudi, Becky G, aespa, and Wizkid with major Arab stars like Nancy Ajram, Sherine, and Kadhem Saher, while reserving space for homegrown Moroccan talent, giving the festival both international prestige and domestic cultural roots
