ANTS Zamna Tulum 2026: Maceo Plex Debut & Star Lineup

ANTS Opens 2026 World Tour at Zamna Tulum

ANTS launched its 2026 world tour on January 3 at Zamna Festival's jungle expanse in Tulum, marking the brand's third consecutive takeover of the 11-hectare venue. The event followed two sold-out editions in 2024 and 2025, cementing the partnership between Ibiza's longest-running underground residency and Mexico's premier open-air electronic destination.

Lineup and Production

The Zamna main stage hosted Andrea Oliva B2B Ilario Alicante, Archie Hamilton B2B Marsolo, Cameron Jack, Maceo Plex making his ANTS debut, Loco Dice, and SYREETA. The 10 p.m. kickoff blended immersive cenote visuals with house and techno programming honed over a decade at Ushuaïa Ibiza. Tickets started at $120 USD, with VIP lounge and bottle service available for the 18+ event.

ANTS Brings Star-Studded Lineup to the Jungle

The Ibiza institution returns to Tulum's jungle for its third consecutive year, deploying six acts across the 11-hectare open-air cenote venue on January 3, 2026. This edition marks the official launch of ANTS On Tour 2026, following the brand's signature Ushuaïa residency.

Maceo Plex Makes ANTS Debut Alongside B2B Heavyweights

Maceo Plex headlines his first-ever ANTS appearance, joined by Andrea Oliva B2B Ilario Alicante and Archie Hamilton B2B Marsolo. The roster rounds out with Loco Dice, Cameron Jack, and SYREETA, blending house and techno across the main stage.

Tickets started at $120 USD, with VIP packages including lounge access and bottle service. The +18 event enforces a no re-entry policy, maintaining the immersive atmosphere that sold out the 2024 and 2025 takeovers.

Why This Tulum Takeover Sets the Tone for 2026

ANTS' return to Zamna Tulum on January 3 marks more than a festival booking—it's a calculated statement of intent. Launching the brand's 2026 world tour in an 11-hectare jungle setting frames the year around immersive, location-driven events rather than traditional club circuits. After two sold-out editions, the Ibiza export now commands Zamna's main stage with the confidence of a permanent fixture.

Debuts and B2B Chemistry

The lineup underscores ambition: Maceo Plex makes his ANTS debut alongside anchor B2Bs from Andrea Oliva and Ilario Alicante, plus Archie Hamilton and Marsolo. Loco Dice and SYREETA round out a roster designed to pull house and techno purists south during Tulum's peak season. With VIP options starting at 120 USD and no re-entry, the production targets committed crowds over casual drop-ins—a bet that Zamna's cenote acoustics and ANTS' precision justify the premium.

What Fans Can Expect from Future ANTS Tour Stops

ANTS' 2026 global tour extends the blueprint refined at Zamna: immersive jungle production, curated B2B pairings, and a house-techno ethos that honors the brand's Ibiza roots while adapting to each venue's character. Expect international stops across Europe, the Americas, and beyond, mirroring the strategic expansion that has already conquered Tulum's 11-hectare cenote site three years running.

Signature B2B Sets and Debut Performances

Future dates will likely feature architect-DJ collaborations—Andrea Oliva and Ilario Alicante's opening set in Tulum established the template—alongside marquee debuts like Maceo Plex's ANTS bow. The roster balances underground selectors (Archie Hamilton, Marsolo) with crossover heavyweights (Loco Dice), ensuring each lineup appeals to purists and festival-goers alike. Production scales to each locale, from open-air cenotes to European club settings, maintaining the precision engineering that defines ANTS events.
