On the enchanted shores of São Miguel dos Milagres, where emerald jungle dissolves into turquoise sea, a call has been heard. It drifts through tide and canopy, through silence and rhythm, summoning the faithful to witness the dawn of Day Zero’s first Brazilian chapter. Conceived by Damian Lazarus, the globally revered gathering expands its storied legacy to the mystical coastline of Alagoas on January 3, 2026. Day Zero is a rite of passage—an avant-garde collision of sound, ritual, and nature that draws the underground’s most devoted from across the globe.

For this inaugural edition, Damian Lazarus unveils a lineup that reflects both Brazil’s surging electronic renaissance and the visionary voices shaping dancefloors across the globe. The innovative billing features South African luminary Black Coffee, globally renowned icon Honey Dijon, groove architect Dennis Cruz, avant-garde live trio WhoMadeWho, and French minimal craftsman Traumer. The lineup continues with Collecting Dots labelhead OMRI., cosmic voyager Deer Jade, Canada’s Unfazed, and rising star Meera

Echoing Day Zero’s commitment to showcasing local talent, Brazil’s own electronic vanguard stands at the forefront of this coastal gathering including superstar Vintage Culture, breakout sensation Mochakk, dynamic veteran ANNA, melodic powerhouse duo Maz x Antdot, and rising talents Bhaskar, Malive, and Jackson. Together, they embody the fearless experimentation and innovative pulse that have placed Brazil at the center of today’s electronic awakening. 

As the first light spills across the horizon, Damian Lazarus takes the reins for the sunrise session that has become Day Zero’s most sacred rite. Forever shapeshifting between selector and storyteller, he conjures moments suspended outside of time—where fearless reworks, rare edits, and deep-reaching selections dissolve the boundaries between genres and generations. Each sunrise unfurls as a living tapestry, weaving decades of musical history with an instinctive power to ignite the dancefloor, carrying dancers between night and day, shadow and light, ritual and rebirth.

Day Zero’s ethos has always been about harmonizing with the land it inhabits, forging an experiential dialogue between local traditions, timeless spiritual currents, and a celebration of renewal. Every edition is crafted as a living homage to the region’s heritage: whether through the sacred Mayan symbolism of Tulum or the desert mysticism of Masada. For its Brasilian chapter, São Miguel dos Milagres emerges as a synergetic vessel. Nestled along Alagoas’ picturesque coastline, where crystalline tidal pools meet lush jungle, the region pulses with Indigenous heritage and hypnotic rhythm. In this sacred setting, Day Zero will weave together the natural majesty of Brasil’s northeast with its own signature ceremony—creating a communal rite that honors the land, its people, and the enduring spirit that binds them.

Day Zero Brasil will be held in collaboration with local partners Entourage Live, Plus Network, Tamo Junto, Gaz Events, and BOMA.

Day Zero serves as a sanctuary for seekers of sound, a portal where sonic energy, natural wonder, ancient ritual, and cultural reverence converge. In São Miguel dos Milagres, a new miracle unfolds—one that can only be known by those who step inside its world.
