Lemmiwinks Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 hello people, So I was wondering which festival(s) are the place to be in 2015? I was thinking Lost Theory although I've already been there and would like to try out something new. Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Eye Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 The goa trance freak in me is already drooling and waiting for ZNA Gathering Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anoebis Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 For sure: ZNA (although I was doubting a lot, I don't have so high hopes for it for some reason) Lost Theory (top line up for all genres...) Connection (the best goa-line up of this summer, you'll see) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemmiwinks Posted February 16, 2015 Author Share Posted February 16, 2015 hmm yeah quite a lot of talk about ZNA, seems like a great concept for sure but my experience tells me that festivals that get organized for the very first time usually get a LOT of organizational problems like they tell you in the middle of the party that they only had a 3-day permit instead of 5 etc... woulnd't really feel comfortable going all that way without being sure that the party lasts as much as it was advertised. Plus they don't say how many stages there will be, if there will be music 24/7 and so on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZNA rocked in 2013 and was easily one of the best Festivals I ever played at. 2015 will be epic no matter what Anoebis think The ZNA crew is the most dedicate and professional crew around. They were the original organizers of Boom in the early days and they have a lot of experience. Your worries are a waste of time. All the other festies they have made was for 5 days and lasted 5 days and they lived up to every promise they made! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemmiwinks Posted February 23, 2015 Author Share Posted February 23, 2015 oh ok thanks for the infos, am definately considering going there then but can anyone say how many stages there will be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The main "problem" for me is that I saw all the acts on this festival except for 2-3 already several times, and I know all their music out of my head, so I won't have any surprises... I prefer festivals with lots and lots of new music, so I discover new stuff... Simple as that This won't mean ZNA won't be any good, it just means I don't expect too much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simple as that This won't mean ZNA won't be any good, it just means I don't expect too much I never said that you are not entitled to your opinion. I just disagree with you The point is this is the first ever Festival to gather so many of the old legendary artist at one time. That is why it will be so special. Plus the organizer have a very clear vision that the artist has to agree to before they get booked. No full-on, prog, machine-gun basslines and moderne "fart trance", over the top breakdowns, prog or techno wannabes inserted into their live sets etc. It will be pure old-school. You might not like that but to me and many others it will be awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Hypnotic LFO Room Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 oh ok thanks for the infos, am definately considering going there then but can anyone say how many stages there will be? There will be a mainstage and a chillout stage. And believe me both stages will be amazing (2013 was really magic). The music will go on for 22 hours a day on the main stage and 24 hours on the chillout stage. It will not be a massive commercial "Ozora" Festival even though I expect many more to come this year than in 2013 ... The atmosphere is very much like a family which makes the ZNA Festivals so special IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masen023 Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 ZNA Festival..... Easily.... this will be the festival, people talk about in 5 years!! I made up my mind more then 1 year ago, and was dissapointed when there were no 2014 edition. Come up and say 'Hi' if you see me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im still hoping Toi Doi comes back this year and my bucket list is near complete ;p Im doing less festivals this year so ZNA overseas will be it. I plan to at most do the two NY ones, one in the spring and one in the summer if they come back (probably will), then maybe, just maybe Equinox again for its 12th year in North Carolina.

Presagio Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 I have the luck to live in the country where the EPIC ZNA will take place!!Honestly I had already give up years ago to look for such a trance festival. Couldn't be more excited about it!!I invite all of you to join me on the dancefloor during the day to drink some green wine (typical Portuguese summer wine) I will bring with me in my cooler.

Alek Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 I'm giving a lecture at Ozora this year, so that's for sure... the music is a little underwhelming (for my taste), but the universal vibe of love is what takes me there And then hopefully making it to Spain for Connection festival at the end of summer... the lineup there is wow... just wow Would be cool to also meet up with some Psynews goaheads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmilingPurplePixie Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 Hallo! I have a very "simple" question about the ZNA Gathering. I would like to join it, it's sounds like an amazing gathering. But it will be the first ZNA for me and my small knowledge of the Djs doesn't allow me to have a clear idea of the kind of music...can you tell me if it will be dark trance during the day? I have been to some several trance festival so far, and what I like most is dancing in the morning with sunny music . Thanks a lot for your help Love☀ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
