In the heart of Zanzibar, where the turquoise waters meet the golden sands, an electrifying musical experience is set to unfold – Zanzibar Gathering, powered by Butik, Lighthouse and Why?Not. Nestled on the Southern end of the enchanting island from February 15 to 22, this electronic music adventure promises to be a sensory journey like no other, blending beats, underground culture, and natural beauty in perfect harmony.
The eclectic lineup headlines two of the hottest Berlin wonders: Ogazón and Sedef Adasi, whose versatile sets are sure to ignite the dance floor with their signature blend of acid, spacey techno and house. Joining them are the dynamic Doudou MD and the SlapFunk crew, who are ready to bring their unique infectious grooves of tribal-infused house to the shores of Zanzibar. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg – with more familiar faces from the Lighthouse and Butik festivals adding their magic to the lineup.
Zanzibar, with its pristine beaches and lush landscapes, sets the stage for a visual spectacle that complements the sound experience. As the sun dips below the horizon, the festival grounds come alive with a vibrant energy that goes beyond the ordinary, creating a magical atmosphere that will leave a mark on your memories forever.
This isn’t just a music festival; it’s a journey shared with an intimate group of music aficionados coming from all over the world. Don’t expect the usual festival locations, the whole experience will take place at different spots across the Southern coast of Zanzibar around the cities of Paje and Jambiani.
From wild times at the legendary Why?Not Club and its poolside area, to hangouts at the DarMar’s lush garden, to moonlit parties at the Masai Mara Villa standing on a cliff topping the ocean, culminating in a sandbank party and a catamaran musical cruise, be sure you won’t be short of breathtaking moments.
Don’t think you will get bored during the days off. If you’re not ready to relax after all the parties, set off for adventures to explore the Jozani forest, swim with dolphins or discover Zanzibar’s rich cultural heritage and biodiversity on a spice tour.
The Zanzibar Gathering is set to be an intimate paradise, where the rhythms of the ocean dance in perfect harmony with the beat of music. So, pack your dancing shoes and your sense of adventure, and prepare to reconnect with yourself, nature, and the music that moves you.
