While we love the idea of closing the summer with Waking Life and so in an ideal world we’d stick to this date, there are a few important reasons why this time of year is no longer safe nor sustainable.

Climate: while we may even be able to handle the temperatures, the risk that authorities will shut down the festival at +40 degrees (new decree for events in florestal areas) is too high and this would mean game over;
A low lake level in August becomes more and more likely in the future;
The date change enables a closer collaboration with the Municipality of Crato, who organises their own festival mid-August;
There will be more time & space to invest in the regeneration project during summer, when plants need most care.
We can now learn to love the idea of kickstarting the summer season with Waking Life and set the baseline for an uplifting, psychedelic, communitarian celebration at the half year mark : )

We will not increase capacity in 2023, and the new ticket price is €250. The extra revenue will mainly be allocated to extreme inflation, more sustainable compensations for crew, and the general maintenance of the land and infrastructure.

New year, more elaborate challenges, fresh ideas, rekindled passions, refueled drives, continued grooves.
