After closing a historic 2025 season at Ushuaïa Ibiza with their groundbreaking ANTS METALWORKS concept, one of the most influential brands in underground electronic music is officially going on the road.
Their first destination? Tulum, Mexico — where the jungle will once again become the beating heart of The Colony.
A new era begins: ANTS touches down at Zamna Festival
On Saturday, January 3, 2026, ANTS will bring its signature production to the main stage of Zamna Festival, marking the opening chapter of ANTS ON TOUR 2026.
Known for its immersive staging, avant-garde visuals, and raw house-and-techno identity, ANTS is preparing to transport the essence of Ibiza deep into the tropical landscape of Tulum.
After reimagining Ushuaïa’s open-air venue as a colossal steel factory of rhythm and machinery last summer, the brand now aims to recreate that scale and intensity in one of the world’s most iconic jungle venues.
A lineup built for the underground
The Colony arrives in Tulum with a cast of heavy-hitters and rising forces carefully curated to represent ANTS’ unmistakable sonic DNA.
Leading the charge is Andrea Oliva, longtime ANTS figurehead and one of the architects behind the brand’s signature sound. He’ll join forces with Italian powerhouse Ilario Alicante for a high-energy back-to-back packed with rolling grooves and underground tension.
The night continues with a series of distinctive performances:
- Archie Hamilton — a major voice in contemporary house
- Marsolo — one of the most exciting Dutch house talents of today
- Cameron Jack — delivering deep, atmospheric textures with Balearic influences
- Loco Dice — the genre-shapeshifting icon who refuses to be boxed in
One of the biggest surprises of the event comes with the arrival of Maceo Plex, who joins The Colony for the first time. His set promises a journey across house, techno, electro, and tech-house — a multidimensional performance that perfectly aligns with ANTS’ evolving identity.
Rounding out the lineup is UK DJ SYREETA, whose bold, inclusive sound and bass-driven energy make her one of the most refreshing additions to the ANTS family.
Zamna + ANTS: a union of nature, rhythm, and ritual
Zamna Festival has become a global landmark for electronic music, celebrated for its immersive jungle setting, cutting-edge production, and spiritual atmosphere.
The pairing of Zamna and ANTS has already delivered unforgettable nights, and their 2026 collaboration is set to be one of the most explosive encounters of the year.
This takeover will merge nature, sound, and raw energy into a single, pulsating experience — a night where The Colony transforms the jungle into a living, breathing dance ecosystem.
The beginning of ANTS ON TOUR 2026
The Zamna takeover marks the first official stop of ANTS’ new worldwide tour, with more international dates to be announced soon.
