Atlas Electronic: Music and Arts near Marrakesh

Atlas Electronic is Morocco's boutique electronic festival: four days of house, techno and Afro-electronic sets around the pools and olive groves of the Villa Janna ecolodge, 20 minutes from Marrakesh - famous enough to have hosted its own Boiler Room sessions.

The Concept

• Human scale: a few thousand festival-goers, international DJs alongside Moroccan and diaspora talent, plus visual arts, workshops and wellness sessions.
• Day-to-night: pool stages by day, desert-night dance floors after dark.
• Local fusion: Gnaoua and Amazigh musicians regularly join electronic acts - very much in the spirit of Morocco's musical crossroads.

2026 Edition

The festival traditionally holds its edition in late August; check the official site (atlas-electronic.com) for confirmed dates, line-up and passes - tickets are sold in tiers and sell out, with packages including shuttles from Marrakesh and on-site camping or lodge stays.

Tips

• Late August in Marrakesh is hot: plan pool time, hydration and our heat advice.
• Combine with the medina and a night in the Agafay stone desert nearby.
