Nostalgia Lovers Festival 2025: A Retro Celebration of Pop Culture in Casablanca

This summer, Casablanca is set to be transformed into a vibrant time capsule as the Nostalgia Lovers Festival returns from July 3 to 5, 2025, bringing three days of electrifying celebration dedicated to the golden eras of pop culture. Held at the iconic Vélodrome de Casablanca, this immersive event promises a dynamic blend of music, fashion, and sensory experiences designed to transport festivalgoers across the most iconic decades of our time.

A Journey Through the Ages

More than just a music festival, Nostalgia Lovers is an experiential celebration tailored for both those who grew up in the 80s, 90s, and 2000s, and the younger generation curious to relive the cultural gems of the past. With an ambitious lineup and creative staging, this year’s edition takes the retro celebration to a whole new level, combining the thrill of live performances with interactive and multi-sensory attractions.

The venue, with a capacity of 8,000 attendees per day, will be transformed into a retro playground featuring vintage arcade booths, neon photo stations, flippers, giant Twister games, MTV-style video studios, and even old-school phone booths where guests can leave nostalgic voice messages. Every detail is meticulously designed to create an immersive time-travel experience with a contemporary twist.

Star-Studded Lineup

Each day of the festival will spotlight iconic artists who defined the musical landscape of their decades:

Thursday, July 3: Kicking off the weekend are global legends such as Londonbeat, Shola Ama, Boney M Xperience, Rozalla, Thomas Anders from Modern Talking, Billy Crawford, 3T, Whigfield, and DJ Jeny Preston—guaranteeing an opening night of dance and emotion.
