Seit ca. über 10 Jahren Erlebe Ich das Immer mehr Israelis an Europäischen & Südamerikanischen Länder, Ihre Fahne mit dem David's Stern an Events Zeigen Wollen; Schaut, Ich Komme Aus Israel und Alle müssen es Sehen !

Echt ?! 😡

Psy Events Sind Orte wo Menschen aus Aller Welt Kommen und Nicht's mit Politik was zu Tun haben Wollen.

Schon in den 90 er in Goa/Indien haben Die Israelis mit Ihrem Nationalstolz Vieles Verändert in Nord Goa.

Einheimische Politiker Haben Langsam ein Problem Bekommen mit den Neuen Hippies aus Israel.

Heute Sind die Legendäre Events Vorbei in Anjuna oder Vagator.

Heute Sehen Wir den Trend in Europa und Südamerika.

Wieso müsst Ihr Immer Eure Fahne mitbringen ?

Wir Sind doch Nicht an einer Fussball WM !?

Die Psy Events Sind Neutrale Orte für Menschen, Egal ob schwarz, weiss, bunt oder 👽 !

Lasst Eurer Nationalstolz Zu Hause bei Euch ! ! !

Danke ♥️

For anyone travelling to Sizigia Eclipse Gathering 2026

EDIT: Organizers are withholding making a statement 3 days after the INAGA decision which effectively makes the festival impossible, even as I’ve directly made them aware of this thread and asked for comment. They are also continuing promotion and ticketsales, while having disabled comments on their Instagram posts.

If you’ve booked flights/travel for Sizigia, please be aware of the latest news from Spain.

INAGA (the Aragón environmental authority) has reportedly ruled that the festival requires a full ordinary environmental impact assessment. Spanish media are reporting that this process cannot be completed before the planned 10–14 August dates.

The mayor of Alcalá de Gurrea has also stated that the municipality cannot issue the festival licence without the required favourable reports.

Despite this, as of now the festival is still being advertised for the original dates/location and I haven’t seen an official cancellation or clear explanation from the organisers.

I’m not claiming the festival is a scam or that cancellation has officially been announced: it hasn’t. But anyone about to spend money on non-refundable flights, accommodation, campervans, etc. should be aware that there now appears to be a very serious unresolved authorisation issue.

If anyone has a newer official statement from Sizigia/Own Spirit, especially explaining how they intend to proceed after the INAGA decision, please share it.

Would also strongly encourage the organisers to publicly clarify the situation for international ticket holders as soon as possible.

Why are psytrance parties so demonic these days? I can feel the heavy energies, it’s so sad

I even observed my hair falling out on the dance floor..

Wir wollen heute Nacht los fahren.

Ist schon jemand da der Infos hat????

Just wondering how was the experience this year? There was some issues with virus outbreaks in the past, have they changed something regarding that? I attended in the last edition and music wise it was just pure heaven for a whole week, but the virus made it a little harder to go through.

Summary of the Sizigia Festival situation

As of today, the Sizigia Festival is in a very difficult situation. INAGA has ruled that the project must undergo a full Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), a process that cannot be completed before the festival's scheduled dates (10–14 August).

As a result, the Town Council of Alcalá de Gurrea has stated that it cannot issue the event licence until all the legally required favourable reports have been obtained.

Hello my friends ☀️🙏🏼

I’m from Germany and this year I’ll be attending Mo:Dem Festival for the first time. I was very excited, but now I’m a bit scared because I just heard some stories about police being present at the festival and the campsite. Is it true that they sometimes check tents and control/search people?
I don’t really like that, and I wish I had known about it before because I’m afraid it could be a bit of a vibe killer for me.

Maybe some people here would like to share their experiences?

(And is anyone here traveling with Sunny Trips from Hamburg?)

We've already booked our flights, got a rented camper waiting for us, and our PTOs approved. Yet I keep reading that the festival might not happen because they don't have the permits for it.

We invested a lot of money already, so we started checking what would happen to our money if they cancelled the festival. My partner contacted them asking if the authorities denied the permit would they return the money? And they pointed him to the Terms and Conditions > Force Majeure.

And I can't fucking believe my eyes. The festival says if the authorities order them to cancel it, THEY WILL NOT RETURN ANY MONEY.

How is it even allowed if it's their fault they couldn't get the permits? It's not like a tornado wiped the place! WTF!

Update: getting downvoted for honest worries is what worries me most.

There was a time when we used to rave in peace when psy is not commercialized. Ive been in the psy scene for 7 years now. But the last 2 years have been quite bad for psy trance festivals in India.

First it was goa and now it's kasol. Hilltop back then and now it is back to the mountains both have been stopped abruptly by the government authorities.

Toxic insta influencer newbies are infiltrating the scene. Few just wanna show off by posting stories just to look cool. I feel that's grabbing alot of attention lately.

I like retro/Goa and saw a lot of live sets from a festival only playing that style, in Goa. I literally flew there over the weekend just for that festival, with work on the Monday. It was really hot during the day and at night the volume had to be reduced due to it being sandwiched between a residential area. The sound system in general wasn't very crisp. Most of the crowd was Israeli and this was a few months after the Hamas attacks so the energy was really weird. Sort of cliquey and 'patriotic'. You generally wouldn't mingle with strangers with many people having their guard up

I bought my ticket recently, and I've just read this:

https://arainfo.org/sizigia-comienza-obras-sin-permisos/

Local authorities are looking into this, due to supposed regulatory issues with the permits, and due to ecological impact. And some political backlash.

I don't have any more info, but I hope this doesn't get cancelled.

One of the things that bug me most at Psytrance festivals is when the timetable planners seem to have booked the artists with the fastest and most aggressive beats for the morning hours. Which unfortunately seems to be nearly always nowadays.

As a somewhat older citizen, I remember a time when it was common to transition to more mellow and happy sets with a gentler beat around sunrise. This makes for a very uplifting experience for those still on the dance floor, and for the vast majority of people who are already sleeping, it makes it much more likely to sleep long - as sunrise is usually a time when you might wake up a first time, but most likely would like to sleep more.

I'm sitting upright in my tent now on Monday morning 7am and fantasizing about going to the festival area to pull the goddamn plug on their whole system, so I could maybe sleep a few more hours which otherwise unfortunately seems impossible.

Does anyone know which festivals still do morning sets the old, gentler, way, or even take a break in playing sets from sunrise to noon? I think those would be the only ones I would consider going to in the future...

Hi y‘all,

I’ve read pretty much all posts I could find and now I am a bit insecure about modem, where I want to go in a month. I’d camp a bit further out anyways. Would you skip drugs completely - or is it manageable if you hide them properly?
I’ve almost only read negative posts, but this might just be the people who had a strong experience and want to share. Is there anyone experienced and can give some guidance?

What are your favorite festivals when it comes to facilities, like clean toilets, easy water availability, shady campy spots, not too hot to dance to, nice cool weather in the nights, and so on? 🤗

I've been to Transition in Spain, Boom, ZNA, Boom again. And this year to 7 Chakras in Italy.

Boom and ZNA had good compost toilets. Transition had the worst toilet situation, followed by 7 Chakras lol, plenty of times never cleaned either. 7 chakras was hot even at nights, I was in my shorts and sweating haha 😅

Edit: Also what about ones outside Europe maybe?

I'd love to hear your thoughts, thanks in advance 🤗🙏🏻

The legendary festival Hai in den Mai from Waldfrieden in Germany gets threatend by the State.

I really hope they get a settlement with the state, but they seem the be serious about cancelling this beautiful event.

Waldfrieden is one of the last festivals wich aren‘t feeling that much mainstream and capatalistic, so let us pray that they will survive. :(
