Damian Lazarus has announced the next chapter in his revered global series with the debut of Day Zero Bali: Journey to the Centre of the Universe, set to take place on 17th April, 2026. The expansion marks a profound moment for the legendary event, which has become one of the most spiritually resonant gatherings in electronic music. After editions in Tulum and Brazil, Day Zero’s celestial path now leads to the Indonesian island of Bali—long regarded as a sacred nexus of energy and transformation.

Two years in the making, Day Zero Bali is the culmination of a global search for a site aligned with the brand’s ritualistic philosophy. Nestled where mountains meet the sea, Bali offers a breathtaking natural setting that mirrors the ethos of the event—where sound, ceremony, and community converge. The location speaks to the heart of the Day Zero vision: to create transcendent experiences rooted in culture, balance, and deep connection with the natural world.

Day Zero Bali will be presented in collaboration with Crosstown Rebels and Bali’s Savaya Group, whose pioneering venues and artistic values align with the festival’s spiritual foundation. Damian Lazarus will lead the curation, bringing together global and local artists known for their boundary-defying sounds and immersive performances, all crafted to reflect the cosmic heartbeat of the island.

Pre-sale access via Tickets of Trust begins Wednesday 3rd December at 6:00pm (Bali time), with general on-sale launching Thursday 4th December at the same time. As with all Day Zero editions, ticket holders are invited into more than just a festival—they are called to participate in a sacred journey of sound, set in one of the most spiritually charged locations on Earth.
