Festival Watch
Done the Ibiza thing? Ticked Croatia off the list? If you're looking for a summer clubbing location with a difference, Oasis Festival is set to put Morocco on your festival bucket list. The event will take place at The Source, a dreamy hotel complex set against the backdrop of the Atlas Mountains. If the location isn't enough of a treat, then the lineup certainly should be - there's over 40 acts spread over the three-day festival, with Bicep, Dixon, Jeff Mills, Helena Hauff, Midland, Tale Of Us, The Black Madonna, and many more.
