Final FAQs: everything you need before arriving
One of the main updates this month has been the publication of our festival FAQs.
As we get closer to the event, we want everyone to arrive with the practical information clear: how to move around the venue, what services will be available, how payments work and what to expect once you enter the festival area.
Food options will be available on site, including vegetarian and vegan choices. There will also be two full-service bars designed to keep the service quick and complete throughout the event.
For transport, an official taxi point will be located at the entrance, making arrival and departure easier and safer. Public parking will be available five minutes away from the venue, with the possibility to stay and rest with your camper or motorhome if needed.
Inside the festival, re-entry will be allowed with your wristband, so you can enter and leave the site as many times as you need. There will also be shaded rest areas to relax and take a break during the weekend.
Payments will be made by card or through your festival Zigpay card or wristband. Please note that there will be no ATMs at the venue, so we recommend planning this in advance.
For camping, Danza Futura does not have an official festival campsite. We recommend staying at Inatel Cabedelo Camping or nearby accommodations.
Voices from the Forest: our conversation with Oxygeno
May also marked the presentation of Voices from the Forest, our interview series created to bring more depth to the people, artists and collaborators shaping the Danza Futura universe.
The first conversation featured Oxygeno, an artist who represents a very special moment for us.
For Danza Futura, inviting Oxygeno is not just about adding an emerging name to the line-up. It is about connecting with a producer and DJ whose sound reflects a new energy within the scene: precise, hypnotic and constantly evolving.
We are also a young festival, still growing and defining our own path. In that sense, this conversation felt especially meaningful. Oxygeno represents the kind of artist we feel close to: part of a new generation, building his own language and appearing more and more across relevant spaces in the underground scene.
Through this first chapter of Voices from the Forest, we wanted to open a window into his creative process, his relationship with electronic music and the way his sound connects with the atmosphere we want to create in the forest.
Voices from the Forest is not only about interviews. It is about documenting the culture around Danza Futura before it happens: the artists, the ideas, the collaborators and the stories that give shape to the festival.
The forest is not just the location. It is the meeting point.
New 2026 merch collection
Another important moment from May was the release of the new Danza Futura 2026 merch collection.
This year’s collection feels more mature, more complete and more connected to the identity of the festival. The pieces are not just souvenirs from the event. They are part of the visual world we are building around Danza Futura: forest energy, electronic ritual, community and movement.
The collection continues the idea of merch as something that can carry the spirit of the festival beyond the weekend. Something you can wear before, during and after the gathering.
Available through our official store, the 2026 collection is another way of bringing Danza Futura into everyday life while keeping the connection with the forest alive.
The last steps before the festival
With the FAQs published, Voices from the Forest now live, the Oxygeno conversation released and the new merch collection available, May has been a month of final preparation.
The next step is simple: arrive ready.
Check the information before travelling, plan your stay, explore the interviews, prepare your wristband and bring everything you need for two days of sound, nature and collective energy.
Danza Futura is almost here.
Soon, we meet in the forest.
