Day Zero Festival returns to the jungles of Tulum on January 10, 2026.

Day Zero Festival once again transforms the Tulum jungle into a dreamlike stage: on January 10, 2026, starting at 16:00 at the Zamna Tulum complex, another edition of the festival will take place—one that has grown into a symbol of magical nights on the Riviera Maya. It’s a one-day festival experience—your ticket is valid for one day, but that single day stretches from late afternoon deep into the night and into the morning hours, to the rhythm of today’s most exciting electronic music. Day Zero is conceived as a meeting point between modern club production and ancient Mayan symbolism, and Tulum and its jungle provide the perfect setting where laser installations, stage performances, and drum rhythms take on an almost ritual character. If you’re thinking about a winter escape from the cold, this mid-January date is the perfect excuse to combine a Caribbean trip with one of the most acclaimed electronic festivals in the world. Ticket sales are underway and interest is global, so don’t wait until the last minute—secure your tickets for this event as soon as possible so you can plan your trip and accommodation without stress.

From the end of the Mayan calendar to a cult festival

The story of Day Zero Festival begins in 2012, when Damian Lazarus decided to mark the end of the Mayan calendar with a special event in the jungle near Tulum—understood at the time as a “day zero” and a new beginning, not the end of the world. What started as a one-off party quickly grew into one of the most celebrated festival stories in the world of electronic music, with an emphasis on experience, atmosphere, and connection to nature, rather than just big-name DJs. Year after year, the concept evolved: ever more sophisticated production, stories told through light, costumes, and performances, and an ever-present dialogue with local Mayan tradition, where rituals, incense, dance, and symbols play an important role. Although the festival has expanded to other locations around the world, Tulum has remained its heart—the place fans return to every winter and where tickets regularly sell out long before the event itself. Precisely because of this cult status, many travelers plan their trip to Mexico around the date of the Day Zero edition, aiming to secure tickets early and pair the festival with a Caribbean holiday.

Line-up for 2026: a blend of global stars and an underground vision

Day Zero Tulum 2026 already has an impressive announced line-up that confirms the festival’s reputation as a meeting place for the biggest names in today’s house and techno scene alongside carefully selected underground artists. The program is curated by Damian Lazarus, who is known for loving to surprise with early-morning sets in which he slowly builds a story right up to sunrise, and alongside him a range of performers will take to the Tulum jungle stage, drawing attention from audiences worldwide. Among the highlighted names are Mau P, whose energetic sets fill dance floors from Europe to America, Vintage Culture, a Brazilian superstar who blends emotional melodies with club drive, and Seth Troxler, a charismatic figure on the global scene with a recognizable eclectic style. The line-up is further strengthened by Traumer and Acid Pauli, favorites of the minimal and leftfield crowd, as well as Maz, Silvie Loto, Perel, OMRI., the Indo Warehouse collective, Superpitcher, Luch, Jonathan Kaspar, Lum, and Cinthie—meaning that fans of every shade of modern house and techno will find something for themselves. A special place is held by the El Teatro stage, dedicated to Mexican artists, where performances by Métrike, the Zombie Affair project, and the Sidartha Siliceo Project are announced, showcasing the local scene in full splendor. With such a selection, it’s only logical that demand for tickets grows day by day, and tickets for Day Zero Tulum often disappear well before the event—so it’s wise to plan your purchase in time and not wait for the final announcements to make a decision.

From sunset to sunrise: what one Day Zero night looks like

Although the official start of Day Zero Festival is January 10, 2026 at 16:00, in practice the experience stretches across the entire day and night, and many visitors arrive earlier to take in the ambiance and prepare for the musical marathon. The first hours, with lighter sets and the sun setting above the jungle, are ideal for easing into the vibe; later, as night falls, both the tempo and the production intensify—laser beams cut through the canopy, holographic projections and installations create the feeling that you’re part of a parallel dimension, while stage performers and dancers further emphasize the narrative of individual sets. The night is usually divided into several phases: from introductory deep and melodic rhythms, through full-blooded tech house and techno in the peak part of the program, all the way to emotional, almost ceremonial morning moments in which Damian Lazarus and selected guests lead the crowd toward sunrise. Mayan rituals also play a major role in the overall story—cacao ceremonies, incense, and dance—giving the festival the feel of a rite and reminding you that it takes place on land with a millennia-old spiritual tradition. It’s precisely because of this blend of contemporary music, scenography, and ancient motifs that many describe Day Zero as an experience that can’t be compared to classic festivals, and the value of the ticket in visitors’ eyes often exceeds its nominal price, because the experience is remembered for years.

Zamna Tulum: a festival temple in the heart of the jungle

Zamna Tulum has for years been synonymous with the best night events in the Tulum jungle, and Day Zero finds its perfect backdrop right here. The complex spans about 11 hectares of greenery, with a natural cenote at its center, meaning the stages are set along a water surface surrounded by tropical vegetation and tall trees that provide dramatic scenography for light installations and projections. The atmosphere is completely different from classic urban clubs: instead of concrete and neon signs, visitors are surrounded by wooden structures, earthen paths, small bridges, and islands where stages, chill zones, and bars are located, while sound travels over the water and echoes through the canopy. Zamna also offers boutique accommodation—eco cabanas overlooking the cenote and pool—which is why part of the audience chooses to stay right next to the venue. If you want to stay as close to the festival as possible, it’s worth looking into accommodation near the venue now and pairing your ticket purchase with booking rooms or apartments, because accommodation in the immediate vicinity of Zamna fills up quickly during the January peak season.

Tulum as a destination: between ancient ruins and jungle parties

Tulum is a town on Mexico’s Caribbean coast, in the state of Quintana Roo, known for its distinctive blend of archaeological sites on cliffs above turquoise seas, kilometers of sandy beaches, and a vibrant international scene that attracts digital nomads, artists, DJs, and travelers from all over the world. By day, the picture includes visits to ancient Mayan ruins, trips to cenotes, and relaxing on the beach; at night, the town takes on a completely different face: jungle parties, beach clubs, and conceptual evenings in boutique hotels and restaurants create the impression that all of Tulum has turned into one big playground for lovers of good sound and aesthetics. In recent years, the city has also faced challenges of overly rapid development, traffic congestion, and a seasonal dip in tourism, but the winter festival period—especially around New Year’s and the first weeks of January—still remains the peak of the season, when hotels, villas, and apartments record increased demand. If you’re planning a trip, it makes sense to, alongside buying Day Zero tickets, also look into accommodation offers in Tulum, so you can secure a good location and price before available capacity is filled. Many visitors choose to stay a few days before and after the festival to combine nights in the jungle with days spent exploring beaches, local cuisine, and the new Jaguar National Park that protects the coastline and the ruins—so Day Zero accreditation becomes the central, but not the only, motive for coming.

Atmosphere: more than an ordinary party

What sets Day Zero apart from most festivals isn’t just the impressive DJ list, but the attention devoted to every detail of the experience: from the entrance to the venue, where visitors are greeted by decorations inspired by Mayan symbolism, to hidden art installations and performers who appear suddenly, creating the feeling that you’re part of a large interactive spectacle. The sound is designed to follow a journey through the night—powerful yet detailed sound systems are arranged to minimize environmental impact, while lighting and laser projections “draw” across the canopy and the cenote’s water surface, creating landscapes that look almost unreal in photos. In chill zones, visitors can take a breather with relaxing rhythms, breathwork or yoga sessions, local food and drinks, turning the festival into a holistic experience for body and mind. Many emphasize that at Day Zero they feel a special kind of togetherness—people come from all over the world, but everyone is driven by the same desire to live, for at least one night, without a time frame, following the rhythm of the music and the rising sun. That’s precisely why tickets for this event mean much more to many than an ordinary concert ticket: they are an entry into a microcosm where different rules apply, at least for one night.

Travel and arrival: how to get to Zamna

For most visitors, the journey to Day Zero begins with a flight to Cancún International Airport or to the newer airport in Tulum, from which you reach the city and surrounding resorts by road. The distance from Cancún to Tulum is about a two-hour drive by car or shuttle, while from the new airport to Tulum it’s even shorter, so many choose organized transfers, private drivers, or a rental car. Zamna Tulum is located along the road at km 200 on highway México 307, a few kilometers outside the center of Tulum heading south, so it can be reached by taxi, transportation organized by accommodation providers, or special shuttle lines during larger events. Given that the festival takes place at night, it’s important to plan in advance how you’ll get back to your accommodation—arrange a transfer, check the shuttle schedule, or choose lodging closer to the jungle so the ride is shorter. It’s always a good idea to allow a bit of extra time for ticket pickup, potential security checks, and a quick walk-through of the venue before the main program begins, so you don’t miss the first performances because of entrance queues.

Accommodation and planning your stay

January is one of the most popular months to visit Tulum, so besides festival tickets it’s wise to secure accommodation in time. Options range from luxury hotels and boutique beach resorts, to villas and apartments in town, to eco cabanas in the jungle or at Zamna itself—so the key is to find a balance between budget, location, and the desired level of comfort. If you want to be closer to the festival site, choose properties along the road toward Zamna or in the jungle, while beach lovers may prefer staying by the sea and traveling to the event each day. When planning, it’s good to factor in traffic congestion, especially on weekends, as well as the fact that some accommodations offer their own shuttle transportation to major events. At the same time, many portals and local guides point out that in recent years Tulum has experienced fluctuations in tourism numbers, which means you can sometimes find better prices, but for dates around major festivals demand almost always rises. To avoid last-minute stress, it’s sensible to track ticket availability and accommodation for event visitors at the same time, and only once both tickets and a roof over your head are confirmed, continue calmly putting together plans for the rest of your trip around Mexico.

Tickets and capacity: why it’s smart to buy in time

In official announcements, Day Zero Tulum 2026 emphasizes that it’s a return to the jungle “for another chapter of a cosmic celebration,” noting that a large portion of capacity has already been taken in presale, which has become standard for this festival. Tickets are structured in sales waves, with each new phase getting closer to the event date and often bringing a higher price—so it’s financially better to act earlier. Since the ticket is tied to a specific day—January 10, 2026—it’s important to align ticket purchases with flights and accommodation reservations so there are no unpleasant surprises later. Attendance is limited by Zamna’s physical capacity and safety standards, and the venue, while spacious, is not conceived as a massive mega-festival but as a carefully curated, more intimate community of people who share the same passion for music and atmosphere. That’s why it often happens that the last wave of tickets sells out long before the festival, leaving those who wait until the last minute without tickets or forced to opt for significantly more expensive travel and stay options. Tickets for this festival disappear quickly, so buy in time and take advantage of early purchase while the choice of options and prices is still favorable.

Tips for your first Day Zero experience

If this is your first time at Day Zero Festival, a few practical tips can significantly improve the quality of the experience. Footwear may be more important than you think—while it’s tempting to arrive in sandals or barefoot, the jungle and earthen paths can be uneven and dusty, so comfortable sneakers are often the best choice for all-night dancing. Layered clothing is recommended: days are warm and humid, but nights can be a bit cooler, especially near the cenote’s water surface, so a light jacket is always a good idea. Hydration is key; while bars and water are available on-site, it’s smart to keep an eye on your drinking and energy pace throughout the night so you’re in good shape by morning. Always count on basic safety measures—agree with friends where to meet if you get separated, take care of your belongings, and follow the instructions of security and organizers. Since in recent years Tulum has been adapting to new regulations on traffic, noise, and environmental protection, it’s good to inform yourself about local rules and behave respectfully toward the community and the nature that makes the festival possible in the first place. Once tickets for this event, transportation, and accommodation are sorted, all that’s left is to step into the night with an open mind and let the music and atmosphere carry you through an experience you’ll be talking about for a long time.

Why Day Zero Tulum 2026 deserves a spot on your calendar

On the calendar of the global festival scene there are many names, but few have such a clear story and identity as Day Zero in Tulum. This isn’t just about the line-up—although it is impressive and brings together some of the most sought-after names in today’s electronic music—but about a carefully designed journey that includes local culture, the natural scenography of the jungle and cenote, and production that is both spectacular and subtly integrated into the environment. The January timing makes it a perfect excuse to escape the European winter to a tropical climate, and the possibility of, alongside the festival, discovering beaches, ruins, the Jaguar National Park, and the vibrant town of Tulum makes the whole trip even more appealing. For many visitors, Day Zero becomes a ritual they return to every year, and encounters with familiar faces from around the world turn into a small community that shares the same memories. If you already know that in January 2026 the jungle and drum rhythms are calling you, the smartest thing you can do is plan the trip earlier, explore options for accommodation near the festival or on the beach, and secure tickets as soon as your schedule and budget allow. Secure your tickets for this event now—the earlier you confirm your arrival, the easier it will be to put together the perfect blend of music, travel, and отдых in one of Mexico’s most special corners.

Culture & events desk

The editorial team for arts, music and events brings together journalists and volunteers who have spent years living alongside stages, clubs, festivals and all those spaces where art and audience meet. Our writing comes from long-standing journalistic experience and genuine involvement in cultural life: from endless evenings in concert halls, from conversations with musicians before and after performances, from improvised press corners at festivals, from premieres that end with long discussions in theatre corridors, but also from small, intimate events that attract only a handful of curious people yet remain engraved in their memory for a lifetime.

In our newsroom write people who know what a stage looks like when the lights go out, how the audience breathes while waiting for the first note, and what happens behind the curtain while instruments or microphones are still being adjusted. Many of us have spent years standing on stage ourselves, participating in programme organisation, volunteering at festivals or helping artist friends present their projects. This experience from both sides of the stage gives us the ability to view events not merely as items in a calendar, but as living encounters between creators and audiences.

Our stories do not stop at who performed and how many people attended. We are interested in the processes that precede every appearance before the public: how the idea for a concert or festival is born, what it takes for a comedy to reach its audience, how much time is spent preparing an exhibition or a multimedia project. In our texts we try to convey the atmosphere of the space, the energy of the performers and the mood of the audience, as well as the context in which all this happens – why a certain performance is important, how it fits into the broader music or art scene, and what remains after the venue empties.

The editorial team for arts, music and events builds its credibility on persistence and long-term work. Behind us are decades of writing, editing, talking with artists and observing how scenes change, how some styles come to the forefront while others retreat into the background. This experience helps us distinguish fleeting hype from events that truly push boundaries and leave a mark. When we give something space, we strive to explain why we believe it deserves attention, and when we are critical, we explain our reasons, aware of the effort behind every project.

Our task is simple and demanding at the same time: to be reliable witnesses of cultural and entertainment life, to write honestly toward the audience and honestly toward performers. We do not deal in generic praise; we aim to precisely describe what we see and hear, knowing that every text may be someone’s first encounter with a certain band, festival, comedian or artist. The editorial team for arts, music and events therefore exists as a place where all these encounters are recorded, interpreted and passed on – humanly, clearly and with respect for the very reason it exists at all: the live, real event in front of a real audience.
