Best tracks heard At MOGA Caparica’s fifth edition
MOGA Caparica’s fifth anniversary was another magical celebration but also a declaration. From May 28 to June 1, over 25,000 music lovers descended on Portugal’s Costa da Caparica for what was the festival’s most expansive, culturally rich and musically adventurous edition yet.
With three stages, an impressive 41 OFF events and a lineup of legends like Jamie Jones, BLOND:ISH, DJ Tennis and Luciano next to plenty of local heroes, MOGA solidified its place as one of Europe’s best boutique festivals.
Whether it was a golden hour groove on the beach, a late-night burner under the stars or a curveball edit in an intimate set, music remained at the heart of the MOGA experience.
Here we look back at some of the standout tracks from the festival which were played by headliners including BLOND:ISH, Dixon, Shimza, Seth Troxler and more.
Next up for MOGA is a debut edition in Cadiz, Spain - tickets here.
