Next verified dates

The scene still runs on flyers, Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp and word of mouth. Every event here has a visible source and check date. ‘Listed’ means we found a public listing; ‘official’ means the organiser published the information directly.

UPDATED EVERY NIGHT

This calendar rebuilds itself overnight from the party databases: parties that have happened drop off, newly listed ones come in with the link where they were read, and hand-written entries keep their notes. The date on each card is the day its listing was read.

GAP IN THE CALENDAR

Of the next twelve months, 9 have no party listed in a way we can verify (Nov 2026, Dec 2026, Jan 2027, Feb 2027, Apr 2027, May 2027, Jun 2027, Aug 2027, Sep 2027). That is a gap in the listings rather than in the scene: many dates only appear a few weeks ahead. If you are putting one on, send us the link.

CHECKED AND NOT LISTED

Checked and not listed: “Masters Of Puppets — Portugal Teaser 2026”, whose page reads “Event Canceled” and whose date (6–7 June 2026) has passed; an entry for “Masters Of Puppets — Portugal Teaser 2026/27” that appears only on an index page, with no event page, tickets or second source; “South Evolution XV” (August 2027), likewise a single index row; and Gathering of Wonder (Tomar, 17–21 September 2026), which describes itself as a phone-free gathering with movement work and publishes no line-up — we could not confirm it as a psytrance party.

How not to miss a party

  1. Bookmark this page. We update visible dates and retain the original source.
  2. Confirm the location on the day; some outdoor events reveal the final point late.
  3. Never buy tickets by private message from an account you cannot verify.

CORRECTED ON THIS PAGE

  • 2026-09-03 — The guide was missing the event most aligned with first-generation Goa in the whole calendar, and the entries did not say where they came from. Zantara Gathering is now flagged as a source conflict: the venue page announces 10 October while the event page still shows the 2025 edition. see the log →
  • 2026-09-04 — We do not send anything weekly and have no way to guarantee it. Promising a cadence we do not keep is the same class of error we correct in the historical facts — and this one was about ourselves, which makes it worse, not better. see the log →

A claim without a source does not stand on this page as fact. Where the evidence does not exist, we say so. If you find an error, write to us through the Contribute page — we fix it and log the correction with its date.
