Hosted in the R.U.C stadium, L’Boulevard gives an opportunity to many artists to perform in front of a huge crowd. With bands from all over the world and local artists coming this year to celebrate the Moroccan Music scene.
True to its traditional self, L’Boulevard maintains its free entry policy and is open to all willing attendees.
