[Pecatu, October 16, 2026] — The global electronic music brand Zamna is returning to Indonesia for a two-day festival at Savaya Bali on October 17 and 18, 2026. The event will transform the clifftop venue in Pecatu into a hub for melodic techno and Afro house, drawing international dance music enthusiasts to the Bukit Peninsula.
The festival leverages Savaya’s unique architecture, situated 150 metres above the Indian Ocean, to provide an open-air experience that diverges from standard urban club settings. Attendees must secure separate tickets for each day of the event, as a single-day pass does not grant entry for the full weekend.
The 2026 Artist Roster
The current lineup features eight international performers specializing in contemporary electronic sounds. While specific set times and daily assignments have not been released, the roster emphasizes a blend of percussion-driven house and melodic productions.
Confirmed Performer List
| Artist | Musical Style | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Innellea | Melodic Techno | Confirmed |
| Moojo | Afro House / Melodic | Confirmed |
| Brina Knauss | Electronic | Confirmed |
| ZSS | Electronic | Confirmed |
| 19:26 | Electronic | Confirmed |
| DJEFF | Electronic | Confirmed |
| NITEFREAK | Afro House | Confirmed |
| V A N C O | Electronic | Confirmed |
What This Means for Travelers
For those booking travel to Bali for this event, the logistical impact centers on transport and entry regulations. The venue's location in Uluwatu means that while luxury resorts are nearby, road traffic on the Bukit Peninsula can be volatile during high-profile events.
Passenger and Visitor Impact:
- Ticketing: There is no "weekend pass" mentioned; visitors must verify if they have purchased tickets for both Saturday (Oct 17) and Sunday (Oct 18).
- Transport: Return transportation from Savaya should be pre-arranged. Relying on on-demand ride-sharing immediately following the event may result in significant delays.
- Entry Costs: International visitors must account for the Directorate General of Immigration Visa on Arrival (VoA) fee of IDR 500,000 for a 30-day stay.
- Local Levies: The provincial government requires a tourism levy of IDR 150,000, which can be processed via the official Love Bali portal.
Global Expansion of the Zamna Brand
Originally established in Tulum, Mexico, Zamna has evolved into a worldwide circuit. The Bali edition integrates Indonesia into a network of electronic music destinations that includes Montreal, Amsterdam, Mexico City, Lima, Medellín, Phuket, Hyderabad, and Sharm El-Sheikh.
By aligning with Savaya, Zamna is positioning Uluwatu as a primary destination for "music tourism," where the attraction is a combination of high-production entertainment and the natural coastal scenery of southern Bali. Visitors are encouraged to balance the festival schedule with visits to the Uluwatu Temple to experience traditional Kecak performances.
FAQ: Zamna Bali 2026
Do I need a separate ticket for Saturday and Sunday? Yes. Tickets are sold per day. A ticket purchased for October 17 does not provide access to the event on October 18.
What are the current entry requirements for foreign tourists in Bali? Eligible foreigners can obtain a Visa on Arrival for IDR 500,000. Additionally, a mandatory tourism levy of IDR 150,000 must be paid to the provincial government.
Where is the best place to stay for the festival? Pecatu and Uluwatu are the most convenient locations. Jimbaran is a viable alternative, though travelers should factor in increased traffic times during the festival weekend.
Can I see the exact set times for the DJs? Exact performance times and daily schedules have not yet been released. Attendees should monitor the official Zamna website for the final program.
Secure your transport and visas early to avoid the Bukit Peninsula bottleneck.
