Welcome to ZNA Gathering 2028 in Montargil
ZNA Gathering is a unique celebration of psytrance and Goa trance culture held every two years on the shores of Montargil Lake in the Alentejo region of Portugal. Official dates for 2028 have not been confirmed yet. The gathering traditionally takes place in summer, set inside a nature reserve roughly 100 kilometers from Lisbon.
Highlights and Attractions at ZNA Gathering in Montargil
- A retro futuristic concept built around classic 90s Goa trance sounds
- Deliberately limited to around 5,000 attendees to keep a family style atmosphere
- A venue set beneath ancient pine and cork trees right on the water
- Analog, organic UV reactive stage decor instead of modern 3D visuals
- The lake itself is central to the experience, offering a place to cool off during the hot Portuguese summer
- A full seven day gathering with continuous programming across several stages
- One of the few events worldwide that keeps the original old school Goa sound at its core
Program and Schedule: What to Expect in 2028
ZNA Gathering runs for a full week across multiple stages and areas, including the Zambu Temple as the main dance floor along with spaces dedicated to culture, art and families. The 2028 line up has not been announced yet, since ZNA Gathering and Boom Festival alternate years and 2027 is a Boom year. Based on past editions, full program details are usually released closer to the event.
