Les Dunes Electroniques is a 30-hour rave that takes place in Ong El Jemel, Tunisia. In other words, the festival takes place in Skywalker’s hometown of Mos Espa in the original Star Wars saga.

The festival was founded in 2014 but has been taking hiatus the last three years. This September, the festival return was 30 hours of non-stop music from international electronic artists.
