Zamna Phuket 2027 Brings Tulum Spirit to Thailand
Zamna Phuket 2027 Brings Tulum Spirit to Thailand as global festival brand confirms January dates for its Phuket debut
Zamna is officially heading to Phuket in 2027, bringing one of electronic music’s most recognizable destination festival concepts to Thailand for the first time. Zamna Phuket 2027 will take place on January 23–24, 2027, with the exact Phuket location still to be revealed. The announcement connects Thailand to a festival brand that began in Tulum, Mexico and later expanded across international destinations through events rooted in house, techno, melodic, and progressive sounds. For Phuket, the event adds another major electronic music name to its calendar while giving Zamna a new Southeast Asian setting outside its original Mexico base.

Zamna’s Journey From Tulum to Phuket
Before its name reached festival calendars across Europe, North America, and now Asia, Zamna was closely tied to the electronic music culture of Tulum, Mexico, where the brand first launched in 2017. Its identity came from the setting as much as the music, with jungle surroundings, late-night sets, and destination travel all becoming part of the way people understood Zamna Tulum. Over the years, the festival became associated with major house and techno names and curated showcases, including Afterlife, Black Coffee, Keinemusik, Circoloco, ARTBAT, CORE, and Tale Of Us. That combination helped Zamna grow beyond a single Tulum event and turn into one of the most recognizable festival names connected to Mexico’s electronic music scene.
The path from Tulum to Phuket also reflects how Zamna has taken its concept into markets where electronic music, travel, and destination events already connect. The brand has appeared across locations such as Ibiza, Barcelona, Miami, Malta, Italy, Germany, the Netherlands, Montenegro, Albania, Greece, Turkey, and the United States, bringing its visual identity and house and techno direction to different international settings. Phuket fits that global path because the island already has beaches, nightlife, resorts, and a strong international visitor base, all of which align with the way Zamna presents its events. For Thailand, the arrival of Zamna adds another global electronic music name to the country’s festival calendar, while giving Phuket a direct connection to a brand first known through Tulum’s jungle festival culture.
Why Phuket Makes Sense for Zamna
Phuket gives Zamna a setting where international travel, nightlife, beach culture, and electronic music already overlap. The island has long had a nightlife economy that runs beyond hotel bars, with beach clubs, late-night venues, resort parties, and tourist-heavy areas such as Patong making music part of the wider travel experience. That fits Zamna because the brand does not work like a standard indoor festival. Its identity depends on people wanting to travel to the destination itself, not only to see the lineup.
For Thailand, the arrival of Zamna strengthens Phuket’s place in the country’s electronic music story because the island offers something different from Bangkok’s club and concert market. Phuket can turn an event into a full weekend around beach clubs, hotels, restaurants, island trips, and late-night shows, which is exactly why destination festival brands can make sense there. It also gives international dance music travelers a more specific reason to look at Thailand outside the usual holiday framing, with Phuket positioned as a place where a global festival concept can connect with the island’s existing nightlife and travel culture. That is what makes the announcement more important than another date on the calendar: it places Zamna inside a destination that already has the tourism base, music spaces, and international audience needed for a festival brand with Tulum roots.
What Zamna Could Bring to Phuket
With more details still to come, the focus now turns to how Zamna will bring its Tulum identity into Phuket. The brand is closely associated with house, techno, melodic, and progressive sounds, along with outdoor settings, visual production, and late-night pacing that fits destination crowds. For its first Thailand edition, that history gives the announcement more context, especially as Phuket offers a setting where island travel and electronic music can exist within the same weekend.
For now, January 23–24, 2027 is the date to keep on the calendar, with Phuket confirmed and the exact location still to be revealed. The next updates will show how the lineup, venue, and wider event format come together for Zamna’s arrival in Thailand. Those wanting to follow the rollout can sign up now to be the first to know when more details are announced.

Sacred Acre reveals its Phase II lineup for September 11-13 2026 on Alaska’s Kenai Peninsula, adding OPIUO, Mr. Bill, INZO, and Tape B B2B Effin to its fifth annual edition.
Sacred Acre, Alaska’s largest immersive electronic music and eco-activism festival, returns September 11–13, 2026, with the release of its second wave of artists for the festival’s fifth annual edition. Following the initial announcement of Tape B (performing two sets), Maddy O’Neal, and Effin, Sacred Acre has confirmed a dynamic Phase II lineup including Tape B B2B Effin, OPIUO, Mr. Bill, INZO, Mindchatter, Josh Teed, Tripp St., Cool Customer, Phyphr, Audio Goblin, Meduso, Mlotik, Dredlok, OkayJake, STVSH, and David Starfire, alongside a diverse wave of rising and regional talent.
Set along the stunning Cook Inlet coastline and nestled within the forests of the Kenai Peninsula, Sacred Acre continues to offer a festival experience unlike any other – blending world-class music, immersive storytelling, and environmental advocacy. The festival remains committed to raising awareness and support to combat factory trawling in Alaska’s waters and preserve the region’s delicate marine ecosystems.
“Every year, we’re not just throwing a party. We’re trying to build something that actually matters,” says Festival Director Chris Miller. “Getting people together in a place like this, surrounded by so much beauty, creates space to celebrate, learn from each other, and hopefully leave a little more inspired to take action.”
The festival continues to expand its offerings in 2026, introducing enhanced travel infrastructure and accessibility tools for attendees making the journey to Alaska. New and returning options include discount flight partnerships, hotel packages, round-trip shuttle bundles from Anchorage, on-site camping and RV accommodations, and VIP experience tiers.
Sacred Acre continues to challenge the perception that traveling to Alaska is out of reach. With bundled options including GA tickets and round-trip shuttle access starting around $300, four-night on-site camping from $139, and average round-trip flights estimated at approximately $350 from most major US cities, attendees can experience the full festival for an estimated total of around $789. Compared to the rising costs of many U.S. festivals—often exceeding $1,200—Sacred Acre offers a uniquely accessible opportunity to explore Alaska without compromising on experience.
Outside of music programming, Sacred Acre’s true passion lies in environmental advocacy – specifically, fighting the devastating impacts of factory trawling. Through immersive experiences, educational workshops, and direct action, Sacred Acre invites every attendee to help protect our oceans and preserve the delicate balance of our ecosystems. Sacred Acre is about creating real change through music, art, and collective engagement.
Alaskan Adventure Packages
Sacred Acre continues to raise the bar on destination experiences with its signature lineup of excursions. Attendees can soar above the Cook Inlet with Alaska Ultimate Safaris on glacier helicopter tours, set sail on the DJ-led “Bumpin’ on the Bay” cruise through Kachemak Bay, dive into Coldwater Alaska’s sustainable halibut spearfishing experience, or explore the land through guided plant foraging hikes and Kenai River fishing trips.
Wellness & Conscious Programming
The Stillwater Reflection Center returns as the heart of Sacred Acre’s wellness experience, offering over 25 free workshops in yoga, sound healing, ecstatic dance, cacao ceremonies, and more. Complemented by thoughtful talks, art installations, and social hubs like the Tranquilitea Lounge and Tavern, this programming helps guests reconnect with themselves and each other.
Visuals & Immersion
Sacred Acre transforms the Alaskan wilderness with stunning visuals, featuring the state’s largest laser light display and fully immersive stage environments. Hosting national lighting and visual artists such as Glass Crane and Papa Bear. The beloved SeaLegs Stilt Troupe returns with theatrical performances and brand-new characters, weaving a live narrative throughout the weekend that adds an element of fantasy and surprise at every turn.
ARCHES Campground & On-Site Comforts
Located just steps from the main stage, the upgraded ARCHES Campground offers convenient, forest-adjacent lodging for the full weekend. Expanded gear rental options, bundled camping packages, and shuttle access ensure attendees have everything they need for a seamless, comfortable Alaskan adventure.
Tickets & Travel
Tickets for Sacred Acre 2026 are now on sale, with early bird GA, VIP, camping, and shuttle packages available. With support from partners like Delta Airlines, Alaska Airline, Midnight Sun Can Rentals and J&L Hospitality the festival is also offering discounts on airfare, lodging, RVs, and gear rentals.

From previous years setups it can be considered 3 islands of stages that hold 2 stages.
