North Africa has officially been discovered as one of the world's hottest music festival destinations. Last year, Morocco's Oasis Festival debuted. Earlier this year, Tunisia's NABOO came on the scene. In the past few days, a new music festival called MOGA has surfaced, and is making headlines thanks to the fact that it literally takes place on a "Game of Thrones" set in Morocco.

Located in the gorgeous coastal city of Essaouira – which was used to film epic scenes in GOT's fictional cities of Astapor and Yunkai – MOGA will unfold during the weekend of October 14-16, 2016. Though the event bills itself as an electronic music festival with digital art offerings, there's no news yet on who's to play. However, we're sure that its "Game of Thrones" ties might be enough to lure many super fans through its gates – hopefully dressed in full character costumery, if we're lucky.
