Black Coffee and Virgil Abloh are heading to Oasis Festival

They’ll join the likes of DJ Koze, Ben Klock and Peggy Gou in Morocco

Morocco’s Oasis Festival has revealed two new acts set to play out at this year’s edition of the idyllic North African festival.

Tapping Black Coffee and Louis Vuitton’s artistic director of menswear Virgil Abloh, the new additions will join Peggy Gou, Mount Kimbie, DJ Koze, Ben Klock, The Black Madonna, Sasha, Jessy Lanza and more at the tropical affair, which is also set to feature a slew of non-musical activities.

From the Museum of African Contemporary Art's exhibit featuring a collection of domestic artworks, through to a curated showcase titled Welcome to The Kingdom brought to life by Moroccan fashion stylist Amine Bendriouich, the intimate affair is fusing art, music and local culture throughout the festival weekend.

Oasis Festival 2018 takes place September 14-16 in Marrakech. Head to the Oasis Festival website for more information and see this year's line-up.
