Dear Zambu Community,

This edition’s graphic design direction was conducted by the super talent Zambu swiss army knife aka Luis Flyp with the support of the ZNA Gathering massive “pain in the ass” team and Simon Ghahary the creator of the legendary Blue Room Loudspeakers. 

After trillions of extra hours we could not be more proud to warmly welcome all of you to the next phase of our retro-futuristic evolution.
A evolution that reinforce our collective need, as Humans, to step back in order to look for a better future – a guiding principle that has been at the heart of ZNA since day one.

This time we aimed to projected a space where priorities shift, and perceptions break free from the constraints of the dystopian world we currently inhabit. A reality where we become part of a single living organism, driven by a shared passion—something greater than individual identity. A force so powerful, it bends reality and leads us on a surreal, inner journey toward our own singularity.

This new stage has been conceived exclusively to awaken your ZNA—our collective essence. It is designed to ignite the invisible force within each of us. A force that transforms our inner code, pushing us to become the best version of ourselves.

In this realm, we live in harmony—with each other and with our surroundings. The only thing that seeks to stand out is the music and the art form that first sparked our transformation.

Can you feel it already? The depth of this Universe. The deeper we dive, the more we’re thrilled by its potential—the countless mesmerizing possibilities that will make ZNA Gathering 2026 a truly unforgettable visual experience.

Well… we don’t know about you, but we can’t wait to experience this new stage of our Zambu evolution brought to life on ZNA Land. Until then, we invite you to journey with us as we explore the realms of this beautiful retro-futuristic dimension together.

We Share ZNA

Dear Zambu Family,

As we begin to dream about our next Retro-Futuristic Celebration, we’d like to take a moment to clarify some ideas and share the deeper meaning behind the ZNA Gathering.

🌱 Did You Know?
ZNA Gathering was born with a single purpose:
To bring back the lost feelings of the psychedelic trance ritual.

But what does that really mean?

It means that those of us behind the ZNA vision lived through a time when the scene was driven by a deep, transformative, psychedelic experience. It wasn’t just about music or parties — it was a way of life. It changed how we saw the world, how we connected, and how we celebrated.

Over time, as the scene grew and evolved, it welcomed new ideas and influences. While this brought diversity and innovation, it also diluted some of the original spirit that made it so powerful.

🔥 The Spark That Reignited Us
In 2011, a simple Facebook group aimed at reviving those pure moments unexpectedly brought us back together. That spark reminded us of who we are — and what we needed to do. Despite the risks and unknowns, we chose to follow our hearts and create something meaningful again.

We realized this wasn’t just a choice — it was part of our ZNA.

🎶 Why Music Is Our Lighthouse
We believe that music creates the environment, and the environment shapes the collective experience. That’s why we take nearly two years to design each lineup — carefully crafting a journey that honors every stage of the psychedelic ritual.

It’s not about one genre or one moment. It’s about the full spectrum — the light and the dark, the old and the new. Each sound has its place, and together they create something truly transformative.

🌍 Beyond the Dancefloor
This mindset extends to every part of ZNA Gathering — from the music to the spaces we create. We believe that only by playing in harmony can we raise our beloved bi-annual celebration to its highest potential.

So thank you for being part of this journey.
Thank you for dancing, dreaming, and believing with us.

With love,
The ZNA Team
