Jazzablanca

What Jazzablanca does

Jazzablanca is an annual international jazz and contemporary music festival held in Casablanca, Morocco, founded in 2006 and currently operated by the Moroccan production company Seven PM. The festival's core product is a multi-venue, multi-genre music event — most recently structured as a 10-day program across Anfa Park (paid, 8,000 capacity), the Parc de la Ligue Arabe (free public stage), and roaming performances through Casablanca streets, featuring more than 50 international and Moroccan artists across jazz, pop, soul, rock, funk, world music, and hip-hop.

The business runs on three revenue streams: tiered ticket sales (10-day, weekend, mid-week, and single-day passes priced in MAD and EUR through jazzablanca.com and webook.com), VIP hospitality experiences including VIP loges, terraces, and garden-party areas, and a multi-tiered corporate sponsorship program anchored by Saham Bank as Official Sponsor and including Diamond, Platinum, Gold, Silver, and category-specific partners (BYD, TotalEnergies, Orange, DHL, Spotify, Air France, Marriott, Coca-Cola, Nescafé, Samsung, Adidas, Red Bull, and others). Underlying technology is a multi-currency digital ticketing infrastructure integrated across the festival's own website and its authorized ticketing partner webook.com, with no proprietary AI or data platform disclosed.

The festival was awarded 'Best Event in Morocco 2025' by Les Imperiales, distributes tickets exclusively through its two direct digital channels with phased release pricing, and serves a hybrid customer base spanning Moroccan and international attendees, premium VIP hospitality buyers, and a broad corporate sponsor ecosystem. Jazzablanca is privately held, has no disclosed funding rounds, and operates with a small core team of 8 employees.

Regional players

• Oasis Festival: Oasis is an electronic and contemporary music festival held in Marrakech, Morocco. Comparable as a Morocco-based annual festival targeting international audiences, but differentiated by its electronic/dance focus rather than Jazzablanca's jazz-pop-world music lineup.
• Cape Town International Jazz Festival: Africa's largest jazz festival, held annually in Cape Town, South Africa. Comparable to Jazzablanca as an African jazz festival with international headliners, multi-stage format, and corporate sponsorship — but operates on a different continent and at larger scale.
• Festival Tanjazz: Tanjazz is an annual jazz festival held in Tangier, Morocco. Direct Moroccan cousin to Jazzablanca, also focused on jazz and contemporary music, though smaller in scale and with a more traditional jazz positioning.

Broad incumbents

• North Sea Jazz Festival: North Sea Jazz is a major international jazz festival held in Rotterdam, Netherlands, with multiple stages and a global roster. Comparable to Jazzablanca in jazz-anchored programming and multi-stage multi-day format, but at much larger scale with broader genre inclusion.
• Montreux Jazz Festival: Montreux is the world's most established jazz festival, held annually in Switzerland with a 50+ year history. Comparable to Jazzablanca in core jazz programming, multi-stage format, and high commercial sponsorship penetration, but at substantially larger scale and global prestige.

Direct peers

• Timitar Festival: Timitar is a world music festival in Agadir, Morocco, that pairs Moroccan and African artists with international guests. Comparable to Jazzablanca in mission, Moroccan geography, and multi-genre programming, though smaller in scale.
• Gnaoua World Music Festival: Gnaoua is an annual world music festival in Essaouira, Morocco, mixing Moroccan Gnawa traditions with international jazz and world artists. Comparable to Jazzablanca in being a multi-day Moroccan cultural festival combining African/Moroccan talent with international acts and partner sponsors.
• Mawazine Festival: Mawazine is Morocco's largest annual music festival, held in Rabat, featuring international headliners across pop, rock, hip-hop, and world music. The most direct comparable to Jazzablanca within Morocco — both are multi-day, multi-stage festivals with free public concerts and large corporate sponsorship rosters.
