Once a year, an eclectic global tribe is drawn deep into the jungles of Tulum for a ritual where ancient tradition, untamed nature, and the hedonistic pulse of the dancefloor converge. On January 9th, 2027, Damian Lazarus’ Day Zero returns to the grounds where its mythology was first born, carrying revelers from the fading light of dusk through the deepest hours of darkness and into the rising sun. Today, Damian reveals the cast of selectors and live acts from across the global underground who will shape the next chapter of this jungle gathering.
Born in 2012 around the completion of the Mayan calendar, Day Zero emerged from the Tulum jungle with a spirit of renewal that continues to define the gathering today. Long before the region became a global destination for electronic music, Day Zero established a blueprint for experiences shaped by the land, culture, and communities around them — bringing Mayan ceremony into dialogue with forward-thinking music, art, and production. That pioneering vision has since traveled far beyond the Yucatán, with Day Zero expanding to Brazil and Bali in 2026, seeking out destinations that can become enduring homes or inspire singular, one-time gatherings while carrying forward the ethos born beneath the Tulum canopy.
Guided by Damian Lazarus’ masterful curatorial hand, Day Zero has always found its magic in the collision of sounds, scenes, and generations from across the electronic music spectrum. His 2027 selections continue that tradition, drawing artists from disparate corners of the electronic world into the jungle for a musical journey built on contrast, discovery, and the unexpected. The lineup features Keinemusik visionary &ME, Brazilian powerhouse Vintage Culture, electronic icon Tiga, New York house legend Victor Calderone, Maccabi House co-founder Mita Gami, Mellow Circus founder Brunello, and piano house favorite LP Giobbi.
Reaching further into Damian’s musical world, the billing welcomes French house tastemaker Chloé Caillet, Apollonia co-founder Dan Ghenacia, revered UK digger Jane Fitz, genre-defying live instrumentalist Satori, South African house visionary Culoe De Song, idiosyncratic German producer Robag Wruhme, hypnotic Berlin favorite Mira, Swiss-French artist Deer Jade, and Romanian minimal pioneers RPR Soundsystem, comprised of Rhadoo, Petre Inspirescu, and Raresh. Ever committed to uncovering emerging voices and championing the avant-garde, Damian also welcomes London’s Hard Antoine, Tel Aviv riser Rafael, Tulum-based multidisciplinary artist LUM, and rising producer Mary Jane.
Deep within the jungle, El Teatro remains a home for the sounds of Mexico’s underground — a tradition born when Day Zero became the first international festival in the country to dedicate an entire stage exclusively to Mexican artists. For 2027, the stage welcomes Chihuahua electronic-funk outfit Midnight Generation, Mexican house prodigy KinAhau, Tijuana house and techno duo Soul of Hex, and Crosstown Rebels-signed supergroup Secret Echoes (Live), comprised of Metrika, Estefani Brolo, and Balcazar. The stage continues with dark-edged Mexican producer BadWolf, Mexico City electronic explorer Antaares, Tulum-based selector Jawar, live electronic artist Johnny Chief, and underground selector Katana — together tracing the depth, experimentation, and evolution of Mexico’s electronic music culture.
Yet Tulum remains the source, and Day Zero’s relationship with the land extends far beyond its dancefloors. Through Crosstown Consciousness, Damian and the Day Zero team continue to support the surrounding community and environment with initiatives ranging from solar-powered street lights throughout Dos Ojos and turtle conservation along Tulum’s coastline to beach cleanups and the restoration of various educational buildings in the area with blocks made from sargassum. Since 2022, Day Zero has also worked with Mexican company PETGAS to transform festival plastic waste into biodegradable fuel used to help power onsite infrastructure, alongside extensive recycling systems and a strict no single-use plastics policy across the grounds.
Day Zero’s connection to Tulum also remains rooted in respect for the cultural and spiritual heritage of the region. Working closely with local Mayan leaders, the festival incorporates traditional ceremony throughout the experience, honoring the traditions and land that have surrounded Day Zero since its beginning.
On January 9th, Damian Lazarus once again calls his global tribe back beneath the jungle canopy, returning to the source for another journey from darkness into daylight.
