Casablanca – Rabat’s OLM Souissi turned into a packed festival arena last night as Major Lazer brought their signature energy to this year’s Mawazine festival.
The venue was instantly transformed into a high-energy spectacle of lights, bass, and movement, as the trio delivered a set that kept the crowd fully immersed from the very first moments.
It quickly became one of the night’s defining highlights, with the audience’s energy, dancing, and sing-alongs pushing the atmosphere to another level.
The performance drew one of the largest and most animated crowds of the evening, with festivalgoers staying fully engaged from start to finish, responding to every drop and rhythm.
Backed by intense lighting, visual effects, and driving basslines, Major Lazer sustained a constant momentum throughout the set, turning OLM Souissi into a full-scale open-air celebration.
A global sound that shaped a generation
Beyond the stage, Major Lazer have long established themselves as one of the most influential names in modern electronic music.
Their tracks have shaped global pop and festival culture, with hits such as “Lean On,” “Light It Up,” and “Cold Water” becoming worldwide anthems that crossed borders and languages.
Their music has consistently resonated with Moroccan audiences as well, becoming a regular feature in clubs, festivals, and personal playlists, reflecting the group’s wide international reach and lasting cultural impact.
A night of contrasting musical worlds
Across Mawazine’s multiple stages, the festival’s energy was equally diverse throughout the night, with each venue contributing its own atmosphere to the wider experience.
Senny Camara opened the program at Chellah with a refined acoustic presence, while Macy Gray brought her signature soul to the National Mohammed V Theatre.
From there, the night unfolded through a series of contrasting musical worlds. Stonebwoy delivered a high-energy set at the Bouregreg stage, driven by his Afro-dancehall sound, while Salé carried a more locally rooted momentum through performances by Aicha Maya and Rif Expérience.
At Nahda, Majid Al Mohandis closed the lineup with a polished Arab pop performance, rounding off a sequence of shows that moved between genres without losing the coherence of the festival’s wider rhythm.
With performances like this, Mawazine continues to reinforce its position as a major global platform for live music, bringing together international stars and local audiences in a shared space where global sounds meet Moroccan energy.
