Get ready, it’s finally happening, the moment we have all been waiting for … 2020 is almost over.
This year has been a write-off full of tedious zoom calls, endless lockdowns and thwarted travel plans – frankly, we cannot wait for it to end. In preparation for the season finale of 2020 we have searched far and wide for the very best parties to see in 2021, and what better place to start than Tulum?
Grab a glass of 1942, channel your inner shamanic DJ and get ready to unleash unto the Mexican Riviera alongside pretty much everyone you know from London, Miami and New York at the Zamna Music Festival.
Beloved by clubbers and jet-setters alike, Zamna is an immersive electronic experience that takes place across 10 days in 11 hectares of Tulum jungle – complete with an Instagram-worthy cenote – and features some of the world’s most talented DJs. If there was ever a reason to text global promoter Sean Monteine for a table – this is it…
