Nostalgia Lovers Festival Returns to Casablanca for Its Second Edition

From July 3 to 6, 2025, Casablanca’s iconic Go Vélodrome will once again pulse to the sounds of the past, as the Nostalgia Lovers Festival stages its highly anticipated second edition.

A true celebration of pop culture spanning the 80s, 90s, and 2000s, the festival is the brainchild of Othman Benabdeljelil, driven by his lifelong passion for music and the magical memories of these eras. Produced by Public Events, a division of Parthenon Holding, this intergenerational gathering promises an even bigger and more immersive experience this year.

After the resounding success of its first edition, Nostalgia Lovers Festival has quickly become a cultural phenomenon in Casablanca. More than just concerts, it offers an experience: a sensory voyage through iconic decades that shaped the collective memory of generations.

For 2025, festival-goers can expect a spectacular lineup of more than 40 live performances by legendary names such as Thomas Anders (Modern Talking), Lou Bega, Montell Jordan, C+C Music Factory, Londonbeat, Rozalla, 3T, Whigfield, Las Ketchup, ATC, Gibson Brothers, and many more.

Across three themed nights Opening Night, Fever Night, and Final Nightattendees will be treated to unforgettable shows under the stars, complemented by immersive experiences: vintage arcade games, retro photobooths, giant Twister, neon photo ops, and a Studio MTV set. Food trucks, themed drinks, and nostalgic décor will further transform the venue into a temple of retro cool.

This year also introduces a brand-new feature: Olé Nostalgia, an Andalusian-inspired brunch held on Sunday, July 6, starting at 2 PM. The event will combine live performances by Tito Puente Jr., Gipsy Five, DJ Temazo, and Susana Sanchez Jimenez, with Spanish-inflected cuisine and a chic, festive atmosphere.

The Go Vélodrome’s open-air setting, steeped in history, offers more than 15,000 square meters of space and a massive main stage, ready to host more than 25,000 festival-goers over the weekend.

For those eager to reconnect with timeless hits, dance to the anthems of their youth, or simply discover the joy of an era when music was pure fun, the Nostalgia Lovers Festival 2025 is set to be one of Casablanca’s standout events of the summer.
