Lineup Contest 2027 · Play KOLO or TOK
Producers and live acts: one set on KOLO, one on TOK
Two sets, chosen by a jury and by the dance floor.
Every year, two artists earn their place on the Pyramid Festival lineup through this contest. One plays KOLO, the main stage, where the psytrance journey unfolds under projection mapping beneath Rtanj Mountain. One plays TOK, our second stage for psytech, acid and groove rhythms. In 2026 the jury picked Fikus for KOLO and Phillax for TOK. In 2027 it could be you.
