Jazzablanca Festival 2027

Jazzablanca is Casablanca's international music festival, mixing jazz with soul, funk, Afro, Gnaoua and world music. The festival has announced that it will celebrate its 20th anniversary from 1 to 10 July 2027. It suits music fans, young professionals and groups looking for a summer city break in Morocco's economic capital.

About Jazzablanca

Since its first edition, Jazzablanca has grown from a jazz festival into a broad music event that brings international headliners and Moroccan artists to Casablanca each summer. Its programme crosses genres, so the audience ranges from dedicated jazz fans to young people coming for soul, funk and African grooves.

The 2027 edition marks 20 years of the festival, so a special programme is likely, but the organisers have not yet published the line-up. The official website is the place to follow announcements on artists, stages and tickets.

Casablanca itself is worth a few extra days. Beyond the concerts, visitors can tour the Hassan II Mosque on the ocean front, walk through the Art Deco and neo-Moorish buildings of the city centre, explore the Habous quarter and the old medina, and spend evenings on the Corniche at Ain Diab. As Morocco's business capital, the city also has a wide choice of restaurants, shopping centres and cafés, which makes it easy to host groups with mixed interests.

How to get to Casablanca for Jazzablanca

Casablanca Mohammed V International Airport (CMN) is Morocco's main international hub, with routes across Europe, Africa, the Middle East and North America. A train service links the airport with the city's main stations, and taxis and transfers are available.

Casablanca is also well connected by rail to Rabat, Marrakech, Fes and Tangier, the last via the Al Boraq high-speed line. Inside the city, the tramway and taxis cover most districts.

Where to stay

The city centre around Place Mohammed V and the Art Deco district is convenient for sightseeing. The Corniche at Ain Diab offers seafront hotels and nightlife, and Maarif and Gauthier have many restaurants and good taxi links.

Early July is a busy summer period in Casablanca, so book hotels once the venues are announced, and early for groups.

Planning a group trip to Jazzablanca

Jazzablanca suits group trips of three to five nights, combining concerts with a visit to the Hassan II Mosque, the Corniche and the old medina. Groups can easily add a day trip to Rabat by train.

Buy tickets as soon as the line-up is released, as headline nights can sell out. Agree a meeting point near the venue and arrange late-night transfers back to the hotel.

• Watch for the line-up: the 20th-anniversary programme will be announced on the official website, and popular nights can sell out quickly.
• Summer timing: early July is warm, so plan sightseeing in the morning and concerts in the evening.
• Combine cities: Rabat is a short train ride away and Marrakech is reachable by rail for an extended trip.
• Travel documents: check the official entry requirements for Morocco before travel.
