The 10 Biggest Music Festivals in the World
2. MAWAZINE (RABAT, MOROCCO)
Attendance: 2.5 million in 2013
Acts: About 90
Stages: 7
This gargantuan festival is relatively unknown in America. The line-up is mostly made up of African artists, specifically those from French-African countries like Amadou & Mariam and Tinariwen from Mali. Otherwise, a small selection of huge international names plays every year: in the past, Rabat has been visited by Whitney Houston, Lionel Richie, and other greats, and in 2013 the festival was headlined by Rihanna. Mawazine keeps beating its own attendance record, breaking the million mark for several years running now.
