Zamna Sharm El Sheikh 2026 line-up adds Marco Carola

Zamna has unveiled a major second phase for its 2026 return to Sharm El Sheikh, adding Marco Carola, CamelPhat, Gordo and Major League DJZ to the Sinai Desert bill. The festival runs from 20 to 22 November at Khoroum Valley, with special guests still to be announced.

The new names land on top of a first wave already led by Sasha & John Digweed, Korolova, Mind Against, MRAK, Mëstiza and SHIMZA. Organisers are framing it as the biggest edition yet, with daily capacity expanded to 20,000 at the valley’s natural amphitheatre.

Also confirmed are Asal b2b Brina Knauss, Elvis Guetta, Sona, Zamna Sound System and a run of regional acts including Dish Dash, La Familia, Baz and Haz, Mballa and Minds of Lust. Elvis Guetta, son of David Guetta, makes his Egypt debut after a year of house and disco sets in Ibiza, Paris and London.

Carola brings his driving techno groove to the desert, while CamelPhat add their fusion of house and emotive melodies and Gordo supplies bass-led techno. South Africa’s Major League DJZ join with their Afro-house sound, rounding out a bill that mixes global headliners with Middle East dancefloor regulars.

Following last year’s debut, Zamna Sharm El Sheikh is back as a three day takeover with expanded production, immersive lighting and stages set among the rock formations of Khoroum Valley. The site sits around 15 minutes from Sharm El Sheikh’s city centre and international airport, with complimentary shuttle transfers from partner hotels included with tickets. Direct flights into Sharm El Sheikh operate from London, as well as Paris, Milan, Frankfurt, Cairo and Dubai.

General Admission covers full three day access to the valley, with Wave 1 tickets currently listed at $250. VIP Standing is listed at $375, unlocking dedicated viewing areas, VIP bars, lounges and premium restrooms, while VIP booths and tables are available on request. Entry is restricted to guests aged 18 and over, with valid photo ID required at the gate.

Khoroum Valley’s Amr Ismail said: “From the beginning, we knew Khoroum Valley was a special place for Zamna. Last year’s debut proved just how powerful that combination could be. For 2026, we’re raising the bar again with more artists, more production and an even more immersive experience. This is another big step in the journey, and we’re excited to share it with everyone.”

The venue pairs its undeveloped South Sinai setting with full festival infrastructure, including dining from late until sunrise and premium bars across the valley floor. It operates a strict Leave No Trace policy to protect the surrounding desert ecosystem.

Born in Tulum, Mexico, Zamna has built its reputation on electronic events in striking natural locations and has expanded across Europe, Asia, the Middle East and the Americas. That run has included a London debut at Studio 338 in 2023.
