For three unforgettable days, Casablanca pulsed to the beat of the Nostalgia Lovers Festival, which made a triumphant comeback for its second edition, drawing widespread acclaim. From July 3 to July 5, 2025, the Go Vélodrome was transformed into a massive celebration of pop culture, attracting more than 25,000 festivalgoers who gathered to relive the music and memories of decades past in a vibrant, electric atmosphere.
The stage lit up with performances from legendary artists of the ’80s, ’90s, and 2000s, delivering a wave of nostalgia that captivated audiences night after night. The lineup featured iconic names like Thomas Anders of Modern Talking, C+C Music Factory, Lou Bega, Montell Jordan, Las Ketchup, Londonbeat, and Billy Crawford—each bringing their timeless hits to life for a crowd that sang along with every note. The festival became a rare moment where generations came together, united by the power of music and the shared joy of reliving unforgettable eras.
The event was nothing short of a popular triumph. A record-breaking turnout and immersive stage design—crafted by Public Events—set the tone for a truly unique experience. Spread across 15,000 square meters, the festival combined music with vintage-themed attractions, chill-out zones, and creative installations, all organized with a level of detail that earned enthusiastic praise from attendees.
But the impact of the festival stretched far beyond the concert grounds. The city of Casablanca experienced a notable boost in tourism and business activity, with hotels, restaurants, and shops buzzing with visitors. Retro fashion contests, arcade games, and creative workshops added extra layers of fun, turning the festival into a full-fledged cultural happening that left a lasting impression on locals and tourists alike. In just two editions, the Nostalgia Lovers Festival has firmly secured its place as one of Casablanca’s standout cultural events.
The festivities wrapped up with the Olé Nostalgia Brunch, where festivalgoers came together one last time for a lively Andalusian-style celebration. Performances by Tito Puente Jr, Gipsy Five, DJ Temazo, and Susana Sanchez Jimenez kept the mood high, blending Latin rhythms with a relaxed, joyful atmosphere that perfectly closed out the weekend.
Riding high on this success and a growing fan base, the Nostalgia Lovers Festival has proven itself as a must-attend event that brings together the music of the past with the energy of today, drawing an ever-widening audience eager to celebrate life, rhythm, and memories.
