This January 9th, 2026, Zamna Tulum and Mayan Warrior will be uniting forces to bring something new and fresh to the shores of Tulum. The long-awaited return of Mayan Warrior and its art collective's debut inside Zamna’s iconic jungle scenarios is a milestone event which fuses two titans of the global electronic scene: the immersive art and community-driven ethos of Mayan Warrior and the natural mystique of Zamna, home to one of the world’s most renowned electronic music festivals.

Mayan Warrior’s appearance at Zamna is more than just a concert, because Mayan Warrior it's a multi-sensory ritual directed by a collective of artists and technicians making the whole campaign work. The central figure of this year’s celebration is the Galaxyer Art Car, the newest version of the legendary mobile stage originally born from the Burning Man Project.

From Desert to Jungle | The Mayan Warrior Journey

Founded in 2011 as a collaboration between Mexican and Californian artists, Mayan Warrior emerged from the sands of Black Rock Desert as a cultural statement: an art car adorned with traditional Mexican art and powered by a lineup of boundary-pushing DJs. Over the years, it evolved into a full-scale movement known for its community-driven spirit, world-class performances, and emphasis on interactive installations.

Mayan Warrior presents a philosophy of Inner Wisdom, Strength, People, and Music that remains its guiding force, bringing together global creators under the mission to explore the primal connection between ancient ritual and contemporary sound. After solidifying its reputation at Burning Man and other global stops, Tulum became a second spiritual home for the Warrior. Since its first appearance here, its yearly events have grown into one of the region’s most anticipated traditions.

Zamna | A Global Epicenter for Electronic Culture

Located in a private reserve in the Tulum jungle, the venue spans 11 hectares and surrounds the natural cenote Dos Osos. It has been the seat of power for electronic music royalty for decades, hosting iconic names like Tale of Us, Bedouin, and Black Coffee. Zamna has extended its reach beyond Mexico with editions in Barcelona, Tel Aviv, Egypt, and Greece.

Zamna's 2026 season reaffirms this reputation. Rather than centering on one weekend, Zamna’s calendar now stretches from late December into January, culminating in its legendary Closing Party.

A Night of Cosmic Resonance

This 2026 installment of Mayan Warrior at Zamna promises a sunset-to-sunrise odyssey guided by a lineup of international talent, so it's to be expected a high-level production, immersive visuals, all staged around the monumental Galaxyer, and a line-up To Be Announced.

This event is also a fundraiser, continuing to support the rebirth of the Mayan Warrior project and ensuring its legacy thrives beyond the jungle.

Being part of a unique event like this is not only a matter of FOMO, it's being part of History. When two planets collide in this way, you need to be present to give testimony. Don't lose time and doubt, if you were expecting a sign to go, THIS IS IT.
