Mawazine Festival 2025 Draws 3.75 Million Music Lovers
Rabat – The 20th edition of the Mawazine Festival drew 3.75 million people, who came to enjoy performances from more than 100 artists from around the world. For nine days, from June 20 to 28, the cities of Rabat and Sale came alive with music. The organizers said that the massive turnout, with packed venues every night, shows once again that Mawazine is one of the biggest music festivals in the world. The main international stage at OLM Souissi hosted global superstars like Kid Cudi, Becky G, aespa, Lil Baby, Wizkid, Afrojack, Lojay, MoBlack, and Lost Frequencies. However, Mawazine says three concerts stood out above the rest: Will Smith, 50 Cent, and ElGrande Toto. At the Nahda stage, which focuses on Arabic music, some of the biggest names in the Arab world took the limelight. Fans enjoyed shows by Nancy Ajram, Myriam Fares, Sherine, Hamaki, Ruby, Aminux, Ragheb Alama, and Boudchart. In Sale, a stage dedicated entirely to Moroccan artists featured popular singers like Abdelaziz Stati, Najat Aatabou, Daoudi, Hajib, Adil Miloudi, Samy Ray, and Mohamed Adly performed alongside younger stars like Lmorphine, Lazaro, Rafiaa, 7-Toun, Zakaria Ghafouli, and Kaoutar Berrani. Meanwhile, at the National Theatre Mohammed V, music lovers enjoyed indoor concerts with artists like Saber Robai, Tamer Achour, Wael Jassar, Carmen Suleiman, Ziad Bourji, Kadhem Saher, and even a hologram show of the legendary Abdelhalim Hafez. The Bouregreg stage was home to world music, with artists from Africa, the Caribbean, and beyond. Salif Keita, Julian Marley, Yemi Alade, Etuk Ubong, Cheikh Lô, Burning Spear, De La Soul, Al Qasar & Guests, and Ans T Crazy offered exciting shows full of rhythm and cultural richness. At the historic Chellah site, a more peaceful atmosphere took over. This stage featured soulful and spiritual music from artists like Soukaina Fahsi, Egyptian Project, Luis Salazar, Banista, The Snake Charmer, and Gulay Hacer Toruk. Despite the turnout and diverse lineup, the festival was not without controversy. Many fans, as well as journalists, voiced complaints about the festival's organization, with issues like lack of crowd control, and ventilation for indoor concerts in the sweltering heat. One of the biggest disappointments came during Sherine's concert, which many had eagerly anticipated. But instead of performing live, Sherine lip-synced to playback, which left fans frustrated and some even asking for their money back. To make matters worse, the artist came on her set around an hour late. In addition, attendees at the Mohammed V Theater raised concerns about the lack of air conditioning, especially during Kadhem Saher's concert, which was packed beyond capacity and uncomfortably hot. From the press perspective, a few news outlets complained about poor management and towards their journalists, with one even complaining about harassment. Additionally, there were stringent rules and limits around access for photojournalists, especially only allocating them ten minutes at the front for large profile concerts, which made thorough coverage challenging.

Sherine Abdel Wahab and Mohamed Fadel Shaker to Close Mawazine Festival with a Star-Studded Night
The 20th edition of Morocco's Mawazine Festival is set to wrap up spectacularly on Saturday, June 28, with two generations of musical talent sharing the spotlight at the Nahda stage: superstar Sherine Abdel Wahab and rising artist Mohamed Fadel Shaker. For Sherine, the night marks a highly anticipated comeback to Mawazine after a nine-year hiatus—her last performance at the festival was in 2016. Known for her powerful voice and emotional connection with fans, Sherine is preparing a magical set filled with surprises and fan-favorite hits to celebrate the Moroccan audience that has always embraced her. Her recent success during Ramadan, including her songs featured in the hit series 'Ekhwaty' and a standout ad campaign, has only heightened anticipation for her return. Mohamed Fadel Shaker, who will be sharing the night with Sherine, will be making his official Mawazine debut as a solo artist. Thirteen years ago, he appeared on the same stage as a young boy alongside his father, legendary singer Fadel Shaker, performing the emotional duet 'Rouh.' That memorable concert was his father's last major public appearance before retiring from the spotlight, making Mohamed's return to that stage especially symbolic. With Sherine headlining and Mohamed opening the evening, June 28 promises to be a night to remember—an unforgettable celebration of Arab music, legacy, and fresh talent lighting up the grand finale of Mawazine 2025.

Rotana Ordered to Pay EGP 2 Million Compensation to Sherine Abdelwahab
Sherine emphasized that she fully honoured her contractual obligations and had all songs ready for release. Mar 25, 2025 Rotana Ordered to Pay EGP two Million to Sherine Abdel-Wahab for Deleting Her Songs The Cairo Economic Court has ruled that Rotana must compensate Egyptian singer Sherine Abdel-Wahab with EGP two million for damages caused by the removal of two of her songs from YouTube and social media platforms. In a televised statement, Sherine explained that her contract with Rotana covered the production of 12 songs. While the second album was agreed upon by both parties, its release was not mandatory, nor was there a requirement for the album to be launched all at once. Instead, the company opted to release the songs as singles. She emphasized that she fully honoured her contractual obligations and had all songs ready for release. Despite this, Rotana allegedly sought to monopolize her live performances and refused to accept her songs to maintain control over her concert bookings—despite no contractual clause granting the company a share of her live performance revenues. In September 2024, amid her copyright battle with Rotana, Sherine made history as the first Arab artist to upload an entire album to WeTransfer, allowing fans to access it directly. The move was widely seen as a bold stand against restrictive music industry contracts.
