Visa For Music is simultaneously a festival, a professional market and a circulation platform for artists and music-industry actors from Africa and the Middle East.
Showcases designed for professional discovery
Created in Rabat in 2014, the event presents selected artists to programmers, producers, media, labels, institutions and cultural networks. The concerts remain open to the public while serving as spaces for discovery and career development.
A meeting place for the music ecosystem
Conferences, meetings, stands, workshops and networking sessions address touring, production, rights, mobility and the economic models of contemporary music.
A regional and international platform
The event helps artists build links beyond national markets and gives professionals access to emerging scenes, reinforcing Morocco’s role as a meeting point between African, Arab and international networks.
The 2026 edition
The thirteenth edition is announced for 18–21 November 2026 in Rabat. Calls, line-up and practical information should be checked on the official website.
