Yatra Festival ’26 (Upper Tākaka)

Yatra Festival 2026 returns to the sacred Cobb Valley near Upper Tākaka for a multi-day immersive journey of psytrance, ritual, art, and community — created in collaboration with the legendary Mo:Dem Festival.

More than a music event, Yatra is a transformational gathering where sound, ceremony, and nature converge. Set deep in Aotearoa’s wilderness in the Cobb Valley, Golden Bay, the festival brings together international psytrance culture with local creative expression for one of New Zealand’s most unique underground festival experiences.

Expect a fully curated environment featuring:

• world-class psytrance across progressive, dark, forest, hi-tech & chill realms
• immersive stage architecture and audiovisual ritual spaces
• ceremonial opening and closing gatherings
• workshops in movement, wellness, music and creativity
• healing sanctuary with Māori and global practitioners
• underground techno & experimental zones
• ambient and world fusion chill stages
• artisan marketplace & conscious food village
• collaborative art and community installations

Yatra Festival is designed as a pilgrimage — a place to dance, reconnect with nature, and share in a collective experience of rhythm, culture and celebration.

Whether you’re travelling from Nelson, Golden Bay, or further across Aotearoa, this is one of the South Island’s premier underground festivals of 2026.
