ZNA 2022 (updated!)

[the goa constrictor]

Eeeeek!!!

[kokanje]

Same! Can't wait to get back out and dance. I'm just hoping that Europe lets Americans in next summer

 

[Trunksan]

I'd love to go but at the moment I have so many financial issues and worries that planning more than a month ahead seems impossible.

If I manage to make it through the next 2 months and depending on how my finances are (and what forecasts I can make) I might get a presale beginning of the new year and start looking for tickets.

Program is starting to go live... interesting...

Not sure I will manage to go, although I most likely will need it this summer 

[technosomy]

dam that line up is shaping up nicely
anyone confirm james and matt for technossomy??
still paying off my loan i got for shpongle, unlikely they will ever let us out of australia

[technosomy]

nobody excited about the lineup for this??

[Wabax]

Something special with ZNA, in comparison to Boom or Freedom for instance?

same same... but different?

[Trunksan]

It's been moved to 2022.
They announced UX vs Slide a few days ago. 
My finances are terrible but this is tempting me.

Yeah I saw that too. I seriously have no idea how they (or who) managed to persuade Pete Martin to play. I was under the impression that he said something like 20 years ago that he'll "never ever touch anything trance ever again" (or somethng along those lines).
Let's see what my finances looke like next year, this is so tempting since Pete is among my favourite oldschool artists.

been plenty others who have said the same thing, who have made comeback also
time does truly heal

you guys so lucky to have this sort of thing, because i can't be vaccinated looks like will never be let out of australia

Now I'm just waiting for them to announce that Process will be playing a live producer set

That would be sweet. I've heard Sean DJ but he played very few of his tracks, so it wasn't realy a Process set

[staffan]

UX vs Slide, wow. That's fantastic news. I'll be there unless something unexpected happens.

Process would be a dream come true, I've never herd him play. He played in Aalborg, DK, twenty something years ago I think. But I didn't go to that party sadly. He is brilliant. While the dreaming is going on, I want Doof also. =))

The line up at ZNA is great as always. Cydonia, Technossomy, Prana, Synchro, Cosmosis and more.

I don't think they persuaded him yet. 

I'll just quote their post in facebook event. 

Quote

Our good friend and retro-futuristic supporter Kris Kylven aka UX / Syb Unity Nettwerk / Element Over Nature (to name a few) got the rights from Pete Martin aka Slide to design this unique and amazing act - as Kylven was involved back in the days in many of Slide's tracks, although uncredited -, which will be exclusively presented at ZNA Gathering's next edition.

That's right, a deep journey through the vast musical catalogue of UX and Slide awaits you at ZNA! But there's more - since we were forced to postpone our gathering to next year, we now have a slight chance of Kylven bringing some company (besides his UX partner Bo Ian Wook) into our retro-futuristic stage... by none other than Pete aka Slide (UX co-founder) himself.

Ah yes, I just re-read the Instagram post I picked up the info from, and they did use the same text there too. I must have been too tired when I read that (not exactly a surprise you know). Still, this is a nice addition.

And I'm still kinda bummed that I missed UX at ZNA 2015. Or rather, I was so tired I could barely stand up when UX started. I had no choice but to go to sleep.

Process recently had a baby and might be sitting this out but I've spoken highly of this festival to him and if Pete's playing, maybe he'll be tempted enough to join in.

He isn't nearly as anti-trance as others, just finds it kinda limited and enjoys doing other things.

[Trunksan]

I've already started dreaming of ZNA.
Possibly in a couple of months it will start becoming reality: booking tickets, flghts, cars, hotel.

This time I reckon I'll land in Porto and explore the North before heading to the fest. It will also be like an early honeymoon, since, if all goes well, my wedding will be 3rd September.

Me too!

Getting married in June and then gonna visit some mates overseas in August during our honeymoon travels and hit up the festival as part of that =)

Very excited for all of it

[Trunksan]

I'm ready to go! Most of the stuff has been booked.
and they announced Nervasystem!!! That's a big one!

[Trunksan]

How are everyone's preparations?

[the goa constrictor]

We are super fucking excited and ready for the beach. We need to decompress and relax =)

[kokanje]

I've been looking forward to this for a lonnnnnng time. I hope to meet some of you there!

[Dolmot]

Would have been nice but last winter and spring were a complete train wreck in so many ways. Too much stress and uncertainty to plan any trips. I already missed one rare event which was postponed twice from 2020. When it finally happened this summer, I couldn't make it. Bummer.

 

I only managed to fix my vacation days (and some of my plans) a week or two ago. Now I'm mostly decompressing at home and visiting a few local events later. We can hope that 2023 is finally the real year of travelling with less of this nonsense and chaos. Anyway, good luck and sunny days to everyone who is going already this year.

[staffan]

Juno, Dino, Cydonia and Deedrah. Damn, thats a good start for the big dancefloor. =)) As always I will miss some acts, but I need some sleep.

I have to book hotel in Lisbon before and after the festival. Other than that I'm good to go. I will travel to Spain on Monday, going back Saturday. Then work for two weeks and then, ZNA!!!!
