Zamna Festival is coming to Limassol for the first time, following unforgettable events around the world and at its natural home in Tulum. We are excited to host the production that has shaped the electronic music scene over the past decade and taught the world how to create events at the highest possible standard.
Zamna Festival productions are considered groundbreaking in the world of electronic music, thanks to their unique fusion of music, nature, and technology. The stages are built deep within the jungle, creating a fully immersive experience of sound, lighting, and organic design that has influenced the production style of festivals worldwide. Within this distinctive framework, the festival has hosted some of the biggest names in the electronic music.
Since its founding in Tulum, Mexico, in 2017, Zamna has become an international brand, producing dozens of events and festivals around the globe, from flagship jungle gatherings to massive productions in Ibiza, Mykonos, Dubai, and Egypt.
Zamna Festival opens its summer season in Limassol with two days of electronic music alongside the world’s leading artists. After unforgettable events in Tulum, the expanded production team lands in Cyprus together with the exclusive creative vision and art direction that define the festival, transforming the venue into an adventure fueled entirely by imagination and creation. Together with top sound and operations consultants, the production elevates audio systems to turn sound into music that penetrates the soul and leaves a lasting impression. Zamna is a place where the rules are rewritten every time, an international gathering that grants everyone a moment of freedom, allowing each dancer to truly lose themselves through music.
ETKO Limassol is one of the strongest and most sought-after venues for large-scale events in Cyprus, an open, industrial, raw, and powerful space that delivers a truly international big-festival vibe. The combination of vast open space, open skies, powerful sound systems, and dramatic lighting makes ETKO the perfect stage for world-class electronic experiences, offering a sense of freedom, energy, and style that feels like a major global event without compromise.
Zamna is a festival that stands as a seal of quality for winning electronic content, defined by a deep understanding of music and the creation of a journey through sound. Just as the world’s biggest names have performed at our festivals around the globe, so too will major artists arrive in Limassol, making these two days unforgettable and turning the festival into the beginning of a true tradition.
WhoMadeWho are a Danish electronic music trio — vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Tomas Høffding, guitarist Tomas Barfod, and keyboardist Jeppe Kjellberg — who have carved out a unique position in the international electronic music scene over two decades. Unlike most DJ/producer acts, WhoMadeWho perform as a live band, integrating guitars, live electronics, and vocals into richly emotional sets that bridge the worlds of rock, dance, and melodic house. Their albums, particularly Brighter (2020) and The Loop (2022), have earned them a devoted international following. Regular performers at major European festivals including Melt, Sonar, and We Are FSTVL, they have become one of the most in-demand live electronic acts in the world. Their performance at ETKO Hangar in Limassol was a headline event on Cyprus's electronic music calendar.
Mind Against are an Italian electronic music duo — brothers Alessandro and Federico Fognini — who have established themselves as one of the most revered acts in the international techno and melodic house scene since their emergence in the early 2010s. Their sound is characterised by dark, cinematic textures, driving rhythms, and an atmospheric depth that creates an enveloping, hypnotic experience on the dancefloor. Closely associated with the Afterlife label run by Tale Of Us, Mind Against have released some of the most critically acclaimed records in the melodic techno sphere. They are regular performers at the world's leading clubs and festivals including Fabric, Berghain, Awakenings, and Sonar. Their performance at ETKO Hangar in Limassol was a major booking for Cyprus's growing underground electronic scene.
Black Coffee (Nkosinathi Innocent Maphumulo) is a South African DJ, record producer, and musician born in Durban in 1976, widely regarded as one of the most important and influential figures in electronic music today. A key architect of the Afro House and Afro Soul movements, Black Coffee has spent more than two decades building a global reputation through his unique sound — a sophisticated blend of deep house, tribal rhythms, and soulful African sensibility — and his tireless touring schedule at the world's most prestigious venues, from Ibiza's DC-10 and Hï Ibiza to major festival stages worldwide. In 2022 he won the Grammy Award for Best Dance/Electronic Album for his release We Dance Again, becoming the first African artist to win in that category. His performance at ETKO Hangar in Limassol was one of the most significant electronic music bookings in Cyprus's history.
