Presented by Venture Lifestyle and P+US, recap.festival’s three main days run from 30th December to 1st January, with opening and closing events on either days; 29th December and 2nd January.

The three main days, 30th December to 1st January, run from 8pm to midnight and span New Year’s Eve, with music-led events across El Gouna. Built around lagoons, marinas and beaches, the Red Sea resort town north of Hurghada has waterfront dining, beach clubs and nightlife, and is a hub for kitesurfing and sailing.

“El Gouna has everything we look for in a destination experience: the Red Sea, beautiful weather, a vibrant community, and a lifestyle that naturally brings people together. Recap is about building on that energy and creating something that goes beyond music, where the entire city becomes part of the experience.” says Rabih Mokbel, Founder of Venture Lifestyle and P+US, he continued “The timing felt right to bring this concept to life. People are looking for more than a night out; they want experiences they can travel for, connect through, and remember. RECAP brings music, culture, food, wellness, and New Year’s celebrations together in one destination, giving people a different way to close the year and welcome the next.”

Beyond the music programme, the festival will incorporate curated dining and creative activities to enrich mind, body and soul for an unmissable five-day New Year getaway. 

recap.festival takes place in El Gouna, Red Sea, Egypt, from December 29th, 2026, to January 2nd, 2027. The main festival programme runs from December 30th, 2026, to January 1st, 2027.

ZAMNA TULUM ANNOUNCES 10TH ANNIVERSARY WITH AMNESIA'S TULUM DEBUT, RENAISSANCE NYE, ANYMA'S ÆDEN AND MORE

Amnesia will make its Tulum debut as part of the Ibiza club's 50th anniversary, joining Renaissance, ANYMA’s ÆDEN, Black Coffee, Adriatique’s X and Adam Port for Zamna Tulum's 10th anniversary season, 31st December to 10th January

Zamna Tulum will mark 10 years with an anniversary season running from 31 December 2026 to 10 January 2027, returning to the jungle setting where it first began. Six event nights bring club brands, artists and large-scale productions to the Mexican Caribbean.

Since its first edition in 2017, Zamna has grown from a gathering in the Tulum jungle into an international electronic music platform, taking its events to destinations across Europe, the Americas and the Middle East. The project has welcomed more than two million people across its global events, reaching 27 countries and over 70 cities. Yet Tulum remains central to its identity: the natural surroundings, large-scale production and connection between music and environment continue to shape the Zamna experience. 

The anniversary programme opens on 31st December with RENAISSANCE Tulum NYE, as the influential British electronic music brand takes over the venue for New Year’s Eve. The lineup includes Sasha, Maceo Plex, Ida Engberg and Sébastien Léger, then on 2nd January, Amnesia makes its Tulum debut with an event marking the legendary Ibiza club’s 50th anniversary. Anyma follows on 4th January with ÆDEN, his game-changing audiovisual production melodic electronic music, advanced production technology and immersive visual storytelling. Black Coffee takes the stage on 6th January for one of his famous Afro house showcases before Adriatique brings their multidisciplinary X concept to the jungle on 8th January. The series concludes on 10th January with Adam Port, a long time melodic innovator.

Across the programme, the different event concepts reflect the breadth of Zamna’s approach to electronic music and production. Renaissance brings a legacy of influential club culture and carefully curated lineups; Anyma’s ÆDEN places audiovisual storytelling at the centre of the performance; while Adriatique’s X extends the duo’s creative world beyond the traditional DJ set. Amnesia’s arrival adds another milestone, bringing five decades of Ibiza club history to Tulum as part of its anniversary year.

Production has been a defining part of Zamna since its beginnings. Its Tulum events are known for bringing together large-scale stage design, lighting, LED installations and sound with the surrounding jungle environment. All of that is reflected here on a new scale with influential brands, scene defining clubs, audiovisual storytelling and shows that explore a creative world beyond the traditional DJ set. 

A Zamna Tulum Multipass is available that allows guests to select three event days across the anniversary season. Individual events will have their own ticketing arrangements, with further information available through Zamna’s official channels. 

10 years after its first gathering in the Tulum jungle, Zamna returns to its original home for a celebration that brings together leading musical talent, distinctive event concepts and a close community of electronic music fans.

MINISTRY OF SOUND HEADS TO KOH SAMUI FOR NEW YEAR’S EVE WITH HONEYLUV AND PATRICK MASON

HoneyLuv and Patrick Mason lead Ministry of Sound’s New Year’s Eve takeover at Club SEEN, with Jesse P opening the night

Ministry of Sound will see out 2026 in Koh Samui this New Year’s Eve, taking over beachfront venue Club SEEN from 8pm until 2am for a special celebration headlined by US house artist HoneyLuv and Berlin DJ and producer Patrick Mason, with Jesse P opening the night.

The event concludes Ministry of Sound’s 35th Anniversary World Tour, which has taken the iconic British dance music brand across the world, including Dubai, Ibiza, Miami, Helsinki, Bali and more. The Koh Samui takeover brings the anniversary celebrations to a close with a line-up built for the dancefloor.

Jesse P will open the night, returning to Club SEEN after joining Ministry of Sound’s Koh Samui takeover earlier this year as part of the brand’s Thailand run, which also included dates in Phuket and Bali. He will set the tone for the evening before Cleveland-born DJ and producer HoneyLuv takes over with her signature blend of house and tech house. HoneyLuv will then join forces with Patrick Mason for a special back-to-back set running over midnight and into the first hours of 2027, before Mason takes over solo to close the night. Known for his expressive, genre-fluid approach to house and techno, Mason brings a high-impact and unpredictable style to the dancefloor, with the B2B offering a meeting of two distinctive contemporary club sounds as Ministry of Sound enters its 36th year.

Set on Chaweng Beach, Club SEEN provides the backdrop for the celebration, bringing Ministry of Sound’s dancefloor-first approach to one of Koh Samui’s best-known nightlife destinations. The retro-inspired beachfront venue is known for its day-to-night format, sunset sessions and international DJ programme.

The collaboration follows Ministry of Sound’s previous Club SEEN appearance in June, as part of its wider Thailand programme alongside a show at Illuzion Phuket. This New Year’s Eve return marks the brand’s biggest Koh Samui date to date, bringing its 35th Anniversary World Tour to a close as the clock strikes midnight and 2027 begins.
