Casablanca – Three days into Mawazine 2026, the festival is showing no signs of slowing down. As thousands continue to gather across Rabat and Salé, a new lineup is set to take over the stages today, bringing together Moroccan and international artists from different musical worlds.
Chellah opens the day with a cross-cultural sound
Franco-Greek artist Melina will open the day at Chellah at 5:30 p.m., bringing her neo-traditional pop style to one of Mawazine’s most distinctive venues.
The historical site appears particularly fitting for the singer, whose music naturally bridges heritage and modernity.
Drawing from Greek, Turkish, and Arabic influences while embracing contemporary sounds, Melina’s artistic universe echoes the dialogue between past and present that defines Chellah itself.
Imany headlines Mohammed V Theater
The focus will then shift to the Mohammed V National Theatre, where Imany will take the stage at 9:30 p.m.
Known for blending soul, folk, blues, and pop, the French singer has built an international audience through songs such as “You Will Never Know,” “Don’t Be So Shy,” and “The Shape of a Broken Heart.”
Reggaeton energy takes over OLM Souissi
At OLM Souissi, Nicky Jam will bring his reggaeton hits and Latin rhythms to one of the festival’s largest stages at 10:30 p.m.
With a catalogue that has resonated far beyond the Spanish-speaking world, the artist remains one of the leading figures of the global Latin music scene.
Afro-fusion and electronic pulse at Bouregreg
At the same time, Bouregreg stage will welcome Angolan artist Pongo, whose music is a mix of kuduro, electronic influences, and Afro-fusion sounds.
Known for her energetic performances and powerful stage presence, she brings a distinctive style that continues to expand the boundaries of contemporary African music.
Moroccan artists lead Salé and Nahda
Moroccan artists will take center stage at both Salé and Nahda. At Salé, rap fans will be treated to a lineup featuring Dizzy Dros and 7ari, two artists who have helped shape Morocco’s contemporary rap landscape through different styles and artistic approaches.
At Nahda, Asmaa Lamnawar will headline the evening with the vocal elegance that has made her one of the most celebrated voices in the Arab world.
Blending Moroccan and oriental influences, her repertoire spans some of the region’s most beloved songs and promises an evening rich in emotion and musical refinement.
From neo-traditional pop and soul to reggaeton, Afro-fusion, rap, and Arabic music, Mawazine’s fourth day once again reflects the festival’s ability to bring together diverse sounds, cultures, and generations under the same umbrella. Whatever the musical preference, today’s lineup offers a stage for it.
