A new chapter in the story of Damian Lazarus’ legendary festival series is about to unfold. The visionary DJ, producer, and Crosstown Rebels founder has announced the full lineup for the first-ever Day Zero Bali, set to take place on April 17, 2026, at the majestic GWK Cultural Park in Bali.
A Lineup of Global Innovators
Following acclaimed editions in Tulum and Brazil, this inaugural Bali gathering marks the latest expansion of the Day Zero constellation: a global series of sacred musical rituals inspired by the land and culture they inhabit. For Damian Lazarus, Bali represents a long-sought spiritual home.
The 2026 edition welcomes a boundary-pushing mix of electronic music’s most respected and adventurous artists. Headliners include Trip-Hop legend Bonobo, German techno/house duo Âme, Welsh Disco-Funk pioneer Jamie Jones, the ever rising star John Summit, German Techno/Dance DJ Jan Blomqvist, and genre-bending House DJ Francis Mercier, each artist known for curating experiences and sets that bridge the intimate and the transcendent.
They’ll also be joined by a kaleidoscope of global talents including Acid Pauli, Kitty Amor, Brunello, Meera, and Bali’s own pioneering collective PNNY. The festival further expands its forward-thinking spirit with performances from RYOTA, Satori, Tina Colada, MĪMĪ x FY, and the Odyssey Crew, all acts ensuring an immersive soundscape that evolves from sunset to sunrise.
As dawn breaks, Damian Lazarus himself will command the decks for a signature closing sunrise session, which is one of the most anticipated spiritual peaks in the Day Zero experience.
A Sacred Setting in GWK
Set within Garuda Wisnu Kencana (GWK) Cultural Park, Day Zero Bali finds its natural stage among towering limestone cliffs and the monumental statue of Vishnu astride Garuda. Rising over 120 meters above Bali’s southern peninsula, GWK serves as both a guardian and a guide, making it a vantage point between land and sky. The space’s open-air expanse and sacred energy also mirror Day Zero’s founding ethos: to create ceremonies of sound and movement that are rooted in reverence for place.
A Collaboration Born of Vision
Crosstown Rebels and Savaya Group, the team behind some of the island’s most influential cultural destinations, including Savaya, Desa Kitsuné, and Ina Ré. Their shared dedication to craftsmanship and ritualistic storytelling makes GWK the perfect home for this next evolution of Day Zero.
The experience extends throughout Day Zero Week (April 14–19), offering additional rituals, art installations, and community gatherings across the island, culminating in the main event on April 17.
