Hosted in collaboration with our beloved family, Changa Children and Savage Productions this immersive 4-day experience is more than just a festival — it’s a celebration of unity, music, and conscious culture as we cross into a brand new year.

Our last gathering was truly unforgettable, and this year we’re going even deeper.

We return to the beautiful Oaks Hotel in Byrne to ring in 2026 under the open sky, surrounded by connection, rhythm, and community.

On the Psy Floor, we’re thrilled to welcome international headliner Sator Arepo from Deviant Force Records, straight off his performance at Boom Festival. On the Vaaibes Floor, our local techno scene is in strong hands with Lewis, bringing that driving, immersive energy we all love.

Both floors will showcase a stellar lineup of local and international artists, curating an unforgettable soundtrack to end your year and begin the next with powerful intention.

Beyond the beats, discover your inner calm and creative spark in our Zen Zone and Create Space—with chill spaces, art, and transformative workshops throughout the weekend.

Families are welcome! Our KidZone is packed with fun and run by responsible, caring staff to keep the little ones safe and smiling all day long.

As always, expect otherworldly decor, immersive production, and the conscious community spirit that makes Connexion so special.

Tickets are limited—don’t miss your chance to step into the new year with us.
