Festivals in bold featured Ektoplazm, Drumlore, or Omnitropic live acts and DJs. Interested in booking Basilisk, Ekoplex, Clone, Aerodrömme, Akhentek, Farbo, Neto, or Neuromantix (a Toronto-based psychedelic arts collective; deco pictured above) for your event? Contact us soon as dates are filling up!
Festivals with a strike through the name have been cancelled or seem dodgy (based on previous event reviews) and should be treated with caution.
Consult last year’s guide for more festival links if you’d like to get ahead of the game or watch the following web sites for more festival announcements: AtlPsy, Saint Jean Basstiste, Brainfest, Psytribe, T.O.U.C.H. Samadhi, Another World, Symbiosis, Beheshto, and Venus. Apparently Gaian Mind is not taking place this year, nor is Natura by the looks of it.
Tips and info welcome. Leave a comment below or use the contact form.

“Habitat” is a little meeting with a lot of music and art that happens in Morretes one of the cradles of Paraná’s (South of Brazil) History trying to keep some old values of the psychedelic culture. Was born from the union of ideas and very effort of the Listen.Art and Revolucion-e crew, being the final objective provide a meeting to stay in memory of all the participants.

We need a heavy injection to dark psy in the mid west (of USA). Our main promoting group is broken up and now the parties are less frequent than ever before, I’m worried that with out the parties dying off… it’s going to revert all our followers to their day lives behind desks and only start nerding out to things like star trek and star wars now….
Help if you can push a party up north! Des Moines Iowa would work great!
