Psytrance Festivals Calendar

The ZNA Gathering concept is to bring feelings and sounds from the recent past back to life in a very friendly atmosphere through a special outdoor gathering.
A moment where energy and communication flow in a retro-futuristic way.

A unique location, under the shade of trees, in the middle of nature, built with love by dancers for dancers.

All the musicians on stage are active members of the global trance scene, and have careers which started back in the 90’s. We also believe that the most important ingredient in a party are the participants, everyone is a part of it, everyone makes the gathering! Collective energy gives wings to a party, your presence makes it magical.

The Indian Spirit is not bound to the palm-lined beaches of Goa, though it undoubtedly originates from this place. Rather, it is a magic moment that evolves when the Trance tribe gathers, when multicoloured freaks arrive from all around the world, when they dance together, when they go out of their minds and become one.

Indian Spirit festival provides an excellent setting for this experience, which again might be the reason why it became the grand finale of the famous North-East open air season. Indian Spirit is always good for a pleasant surprise and some next-level psychedelic entertainment.

As the first Psytrance festival in Germany, it introduced Funktion One sound systems on all dance floors. Also a special 3D decoration concept that provides a mind-bending impression of depth. Looking at the promoters gives some illuminating insights into the innovative character of IndianGerman Spirit: Besides original organizer DJ Syncron, there are the Symphonix brothers, formerly responsible for Tshitraka festival, and Mr. Vaishiyas of SpinTwist Records.

The Indian Spirit has become more and more popular over the last years. Why? Probably because the best is just good enough here! The Indian Spirit takes everything to a new level, which makes a Goa Open Air Festival so special. Of course this primarily is impulsive trance sounds, which perfectly fits to open sky. Music within light and laser storms by night or in bright sunshine and the line-up will, as you know, not disappoint you again!

Sprout Festival is a 3 day Eco-Conscious Music, Arts and Educational Celebration. Over the course of the weekend you will be delighted with the range of different offerings to keep you interested and engaged.

At the core of Sprout Festival’s programming is the Music, and there is sure to be something on offer to keep every festival attendee happy and smiling for the whole weekend. We will offer a diverse musical journey featuring some of Australia’s best producers and live musicians playing alongside emerging talent from the local community. Our program will weave together a variety of festival sounds and you can expect to encounter a diverse range of genres.

However, Sprout Festival is more than just a Music Festival.

A major focus of Sprout Festival is to provide an educational platform for the festival attendee, and for every person who comes to Sprout Festival to walk away with beneficial learning experiences. This will be catered for by a workshop and educational space providing thought provoking information sessions and hands on workshops. The key theme of these workshops and information sessions will be focused on Sustainability and Environmental Consciousness. We encourage every festival attendee to get engaged with this area and take home something useful and beneficial.

The entire festival experiences will also be complimented by a range of market stalls offering a delicious healthy menu and items crafted by local artisans.

Taking inspiration from the traditional outdoor festival culture in Far North Queensland, Sprout Festival aims to expand on this culture, and set roots for the future, with the vision of utilising these events and experiences to facilitate the change the we want to see for the future.

There will truly be something for everyone at Sprout Festival, So come along, and plant some seeds for the future.

SpiltMilk was founded in 2015 as the original Techno festival in Cape Town. It was born from a small idea which then grew up and evolved through a rebellious adolescence into a timeless and powerful expression of dance music culture in South Africa. This is mirrored by the evolution of the music curated by our festival over the years.

SpiltMilk 2019 will take place on Saturday 31 August 2019 and will be a statement about the current and future vision of the festival. This is a statement about music, passion and inclusivity.

This years festival will be headlined by two international artists. An accomplished veteran and a formidable prodigy will take centre stage for two highly anticipated performances:

Dear Primitives,

After the great succes of this Primitif Festival 2018, we are happy and thrilled to introduce you to this 2019 edition of Primitif Festival, a place where you can be yourself, far from the problems and mental barriers of what we call real life, and freely express yourself through Dance, Music, Sharing and Love.

Primitif Festival is an underground gathering revolving around psychedelic art and music, and taking place near Lalla Takerkoust lake (Marrakesh). Gathering people from all over the world around a major music genre : Psytrance, this event also showcases other musics like Techno, DnB, Progresive, Cumbia Electro, Chill music, etc, and spotlights the Moroccan culture and its richness through intercultural exchange, following a conscious, eco-responsible and respectful of the local habits and customs approach.

Primitif Festival philosophy aims to go back to times when Man had a simple life, in osmosis with his peers and Mother Earth, long before our World knew the madness we live in. Times when through Spirituality, Shamanism and deep connection with Nature, Man was living purely and entirely the gift called Life, and our souls their body-experience. Nowadays, such men still exist, living far from our societies and their vices. They are called Primitives. We hope you are ready for a complete transformation…

In 2017 we started a new chapter in the life of our festival by opening it up to an international audience. We aim to push the developments further every year with new alternative activities and attractions, and always get closer to a more conscious, open-minded and eco-responsible gathering. During the 2017 and 2018 editions we learned a lot, and our mission is to implement this new knowledge into building a truly international festival and welcome you all in the best conditions possible.

Prepare yourselves for a Primitif Festival 2019 full of surprises !

A 15 hour Music & Lifestyle Festival that represents the definition of Equilibrium – A State of Balance.

We’re looking forward to seeing you again for a bigger and better second edition as we welcome Cape Town’s Spring season!

Whether you’re wanting to expand your knowledge on all things lifestyle and environmental, explore the exceptional creative talents of Cape Town, dance the night away to the best music Cape Town has to offer or merely just indulge in some good food and wine surrounded by the majestic mountains of Paarl, we believe this unique festival experience is for you!

Greetings and Welcome to the 12th installment of the
Red Marines Music Festival!

Get ready to DANCE! DANCE! DANCE!

The tickets for Power Flower Picnic are live, and up for the pickings!

We are thrilled to announce tickets are now available for our spring-time excursion… this year the festival site will be open from Friday 20 September to Tuesday 24 September – which is a public holiday, for those of you who might not have them all memorised. ;) The music runs from Friday afternoon to Sunday night as usual, but you’re all invited to stay with us for an extended long weekend. That means an additional day and night to see out the festival in restorative style.

We’re going to throw down some coals for a lunch time braai on Monday after the hurry-up-and-stay Sunday session in the boma. There are a couple of amazing hikes in the area, that you’re unlikely to have ventured during the festival, and we highly recommend. The stars are just the craziest thing out there – so don’t forget to take a quiet moment and look up! Plus; any excuse to spend an extra day and night languishing on and in the river, is just fine by us!

We have exciting additions and plenty announcements on the wind; keep your eyes and ears peeled; and chin up! – we’re officially on the downward slide to warmer days, long may they stay.

We can’t wait to see you all for an extraordinary, extra-long, springtime fling on our favourite riverbank!

Artists, Dancers, Gypsies, Soul Searchers, Students & Dreamers we invite you to gather at our Outback Paradise for the weekend of the 22 – 24 November 2019. We will laugh, we will play, we will camp & we will dance in the forest under the stars. We aim to create a space conducive to human creativity and freedom of expression. Through music & dance we will bring our consciousness into alignment and become a united tribe. Beaming Love, Light & Positive Vibes into the universe.

Aside from music, the Festival also features a vibrant market village with healthy food and drink options & a social bar with quality craft beers and cocktails. When you’re in more of a Netflix & Chill mood we have a late night cinema, tea lounge and chill space with daily yoga classes & workshops.

Welcome to Retreat Yourself. A wellness festival with a twist. A pop-up village where wellness, music, learning, art and food are fused in a way that is unique to the South African festival landscape. ☀🙌🏾

Treat yourself to a 4 day, 3 night break away from your everyday concerns and pressures. You are invited to curate a weekend schedule to suit your intentions and satisfy your curiosities by choosing from a variety of yoga and movement disciplines, talks and workshops, entertainment and activities.

The village is built at the foot of the beautiful Riviersonderend Mountain Range, where cell phone reception doesn’t exist. With magical forests, graceful streams and abundant green lawns on offer, this conscious festival provides the perfect playground for you to build connections with like-minded souls, nature and yourself. 🌿🏞

Retreat Yourself is open to all ages! (Yes, mums and dads, bring your kiddies!) We welcome the curious, those who have just begun the journey into new disciplines as well as the experts to learn, challenge themselves and try new things. 🤗

So, if you are looking for a festival experience like no other, an accepting place where you can express yourself freely and a village which offers opportunities to move, dance, learn, love and connect. Look no further, this utopian world exists.

Go on. Retreat Yourself! 🌼

Dear Boomers,

Here in the Iberian Peninsula, we say goodbye to autumn and prepare for winter as life at Boomland returns to its natural pace…

It’s been three full moons since our collective celebration of Boom’s 12th edition. So as we close that chapter, we open another with the announcement of some spine-tingling news…

On the auspice of today’s full moon, we are super excited to announce that the 13th edition of Boom Festival will take place from 28 July until 4 August 2020 – so that’s 21 full moons until we open the gates!

For now, the multiverse that is Boom has gone into hibernation as it channels in the vision for the upcoming edition.

The location sits on the shores of an enchanting lake not far from the Spanish border. Situated near the city of Castelo Branco, Boom is located within close proximity to the historic town of Idanha-a-Nova It’s also about 260 km from Lisbon in Portugal and 360 km from Madrid in Spain.
