After another year of anticipation, Mawazine is officially back. Known for turning Rabat into a global music capital, the festival once again promises a diverse and star-studded lineup for its 2026 edition. The first reveal has now dropped, and it’s already making noise.
Leading the first announcement is Ninho, one of the most influential names in the French rap scene today. With a string of hits and a reputation for delivering powerful live performances, his addition sets a strong tone for the rest of the lineup.
He is scheduled to perform on June 19, 2026, at OLM Souissi, Mawazine’s flagship stage known for hosting international heavyweights. The venue’s large-scale open-air setting and electric crowd atmosphere make it a perfect match for Ninho’s high-energy show.
As the first name unveiled, this announcement hints at a major edition ahead. Mawazine continues to blend global superstars with regional talent, and if this first reveal is any indication, 2026 is shaping up to be one of its biggest editions yet.
