Deep in the heart of the Tulum jungle, where ancient Mayan energy lingers, a legendary event is set to make its much-anticipated return. Day Zero, founded by Damian Lazarus, will take place on January 10, 2026, promising an unparalleled fusion of music, mysticism, and nature.
Originally conceived in 2012 to mark the end of the Mayan calendar and the beginning of a new era, Day Zero has since cemented itself as one of the world’s most transformative electronic music experiences. It is more than a festival—it’s an otherworldly adventure where technology, history, and myth merge to transport attendees into an alternate reality.
As darkness falls over the jungle, Day Zero’s visionary production brings a surreal dreamscape to life. Lasers slice through the thick jungle canopy, creating an ethereal glow that bathes ancient landscapes. Alien-like performers appear as if from another time, coexisting with the spirits of the past, while immersive art installations weave narratives that stretch the limits of imagination.
At the heart of this sonic journey is a lineup curated by Damian Lazarus, featuring some of the world’s most forward-thinking live acts and selectors. Each artist is chosen not just for their sound but for their ability to shape the experience, guiding festivalgoers through a night of exploration and transcendence. From pulsating deep house to hypnotic techno, every beat resonates through the jungle, syncing with the rhythm of nature itself.
But Day Zero is more than just music. It is a ritual of rebirth, a celebration of interconnectedness, and an homage to the land that hosts it. By intertwining Mayan culture with futuristic spectacle, the event invites attendees to step outside of time, to dance beneath the stars, and to lose themselves in the magic of the moment.
