The frequency of North Africa — every thread, one gathering.
DUBAI · 19 DECEMBER 2026. One room, one night — the first live transmission of N.A.F, exactly one year before Edition One lands in Tunisia. The roots opening the night, the Rising carrying it, the N.A.F sound closing it. Filmed, so the frequency travels.
Rising DJs: the launch lineup is being selected now — 3–4 places, curated. Venues & partners: the first room writes itself into the story permanently.
Venue and lineup announced when signed — @evgroup2026 first.
Seven worlds of sound — gnawa, raï, mezoued & stambeli, mahraganat, the desert blues, afro house, afro tech — flowing home to where the platform was born.
North African Frequency is the collection of all North African music in one voice — the 400-year bassline of gnawa, the banned courage of raï, the street pride of mezoued, the laptop revolution of mahraganat, the desert's electric blues — meeting afro house and afro tech, and becoming something new.
Pages tell the story. Reels teach it. A festival makes you stand inside it. One gathering where the whole lineage performs itself — history on one end of the night, the future on the other.
And it begins at home. Tunisia — the soil the platform grows from — hosts Edition One.
Each stage carries a world from the N.A.F universe — its sound, its color, its masters and its new blood.
The trance ritual, honored properly: guembri low-end, iron percussion, repetition until the room lifts. Masters of the old ceremonies beside producers who loop them into tomorrow.
The singers' stage. Voices old and new saying it anyway — the cheikhas' courage, carried by a new generation of vocalists.
Mezoued and mahraganat energy — the wedding, the block party, the chant. And this is the dancers' stage: North African street movement, old steps and new.
Desert time under open sky — hypnotic guitar loops and slow sets for the deep hours. No rush. No drop. Just depth.
The full-circle floor: deep, rolling, ancestral — the sound that left Africa and came home, played until the sun confirms it.
Lights off. Rolling toms, growling bass, peak-time pressure — the darker sibling gets its own walls.
Where it all converges: the new sound built from every thread — North African scales over African drums, made for the dancefloor. This stage belongs especially to the new DJs — the generation that will carry the frequency forward. History opens the night; the future closes it.
The keepers of the traditions — trance, voice, string and drum — honored on the stages their music built.
Voices across every era of North African song — from the classic repertoire to the streaming generation.
North African movement, old steps and new — the street stage is theirs.
The heart of the festival. The next generation of North African selectors and producers — the ones who will define what N.A.F sounds like. The main stage is being built for them.
The lineup will be written by the frequency itself — announcements come through @evgroup2026. No names before their time.
Edition One belongs to Tunisia. The venue will be announced through @evgroup2026 once agreements are signed — until then, the search is open, and it is being run properly.
Greater Tunis & Carthage · Hammamet · Sousse · Djerba — coastal settings with event infrastructure and December accessibility.
Open-air, night-sky capable, with a backdrop that carries North African identity — sea, medina or heritage silhouette. The venue is part of the story.
Resorts, arenas, heritage sites, municipalities: if your space can hold the frequency, we want to see it. Reach us via @evgroup2026.
An invitation to brands, institutions and media: Edition One of a festival is the moment partners are remembered forever. N.A.F Festival offers a first-mover seat inside a full cultural platform — seven story worlds, a running reel universe, a growing community, and a night the region hasn't seen before.
One name beside the festival's own, across everything — the site, the stages, the story, the broadcast of the night. A single seat.
Seven stages, seven worlds, seven identities — each stage can carry one partner's name into its world's color and story.
Exclusive category partnerships: airline & travel, telecom, beverage, hospitality, payments, mobility, sound & technology.
Tourism boards, cultural ministries, heritage institutions and foundations — the festival is built to honor and elevate North African culture; institutions belong at its side.
Broadcast, streaming and editorial partners for the region and beyond — the story is made to travel.
Food, craft and culture vendors — Tunisian and North African makers first. Stall placements are applied for and designed per vendor.
Partnership structures are shaped per partner — tell us your objectives and your budget in the brief, and we build the fit. No rate cards; every partnership is designed.
Edition One is powered by the people on its stages. The masters of the traditions are invited and honored — hosted as guests, never charged; that is the N.A.F way. And the festival's engine is THE RISING: the new generation of DJs, singers and dancers who join Edition One through artist packages built around what a new artist actually needs — a real stage, real footage, and a platform that keeps their name moving long after the night.
The festival's academy: masterclasses with masters of the traditions and working professionals — production, sound, performance. Graduation is a set on an Edition One stage.
Curated showcase slots for new DJs and artists. Applications are reviewed on merit — selection is earned, never bought. Selected artists join through a performance package designed per artist.
Every Rising performance is professionally filmed, photographed and cut into reels — festival-stage EPK material carried onward on the N.A.F platform. The night ends; your content doesn't.
Every Rising artist receives a ticket allocation for their own following — transparent and capped. You bring your crowd; the frequency brings everyone else's.
Packages are designed per artist — tell us your goals and your budget in the brief, and we build the fit. Paying is never a shortcut past curation: every stage of Edition One is earned. Masters of the traditions are always guests of honor.
Tickets are not on sale yet. Attendance details, access and on-sale dates will be announced first through @evgroup2026 — follow to be first in line for Edition One.
Tunisia is served by international airports at Tunis–Carthage, Enfidha–Hammamet and Djerba, with short connections from Europe and the Gulf.
Mild Mediterranean winter — built for a night that runs from sunset to sunrise.
Venue, program and access announcements roll out on @evgroup2026 and this page as they are confirmed.
Professional crowd management, on-site medical cover, clear emergency routes and trained staff — planned to international event-safety standard from day one.
Accessible routes, viewing areas and facilities — the frequency is for every body.
Waste reduction, refill points, and responsible production choices — the venue's land leaves the night as it entered it.
Tunisian crews, artisans, vendors and suppliers wherever possible — the festival should feed the place that hosts it.
The traditions on our stages are honored and credited — masters are named, lineages respected. It is the N.A.F way on every page, and on every stage.

No. Curation comes first, always — every stage of Edition One is earned. Packages fund the festival and give artists real value (footage, platform, allocation), but they never bypass selection.

N.A.F — North African Frequency — is the music & culture platform of EVG, the event production, artist booking and entertainment company. The festival is the platform's live form: every thread of North African music, gathered.
FREQUENCY · Edition One · Tunisia · 19 December 2027. The first of many — because the concept travels: building its own crowd, its own image, its own growth, until the frequency is known. Edition One at home. Then everywhere.
N.A.F today: the platform — events, sessions, stories, playlists, education.
N.A.F tomorrow: the gathering — the frequency of North Africa, live, then across the world.
