Why do they keep lying?

Why do they keep lying? It’s so obvious that the official figures are not telling the truth. When you build your festival on bad energy and lies, that creates bad karma and negative energy.
It makes sense why there is so much knife violence, people dying one after another, and, in general, such a bad atmosphere among many of the guests when the entire soul of the festival has changed and it’s increasingly about making as much money as possible.
Look at Boom Festival — there has only been one person who has died throughout its entire history. It’s about the energy and intentions of the people organizing the festival.

Why did I have never seen Mandragora in any big festival lineup ?

Maybe he did but I've never seen any traces of it, I understand that what he does is mostly Full-on tracks, hits and no sets, but I still wonder what he did to be that much away from the psytrance community ?

He introduced me to psytrance, for years I was listening exclusively his songs and to me he was psytrance, I did not know any other artists, until I did my first festival many years ago. Honestly I think in terms of global reaching, he might be the biggest name, bigger than Astrix in my opinion so I don't know why nobody talks about him

Once I was in a blablacar with a women that once worked with him and she told me that he is a nightmare to deal with, simply because of his drug abuses, that one he took mescaline before a set and he was just unable to show up

Let me know your thaughts about him

Anyone here saw Ott at Dragons Nest?

I went solo to Ozora this year, which means I showed up on my own to Ott's set at Dragons Nest. Even though I was by myself, I felt such a huge connection and feeling of love and excitement from the crowd and everyone next to me. I was happy being in my own world and I had a smile plastered to my face the entire time.

After the set, I went up front and got to shake his hand and tell him how much I appreciated the set. But I didn't really have anyone else to talk to about what just happened (which to me felt like an almost religious experience.)

So, I'm making this post just to reach out to whoever else was there and would like to share their experience:) What did you think?

Om Shanti Hightec track on Tuesday Night?

Dear Ozorians!

During the Tuesday-Wesnesday night me and my friends witnessed at our camp a peculiar track that echoed from the main stage. 

It was one of the Hightec-nights.

It was between 2-4am, so propbly Irgum Burgum, Cyber Aghori or Shred’er set. 

The only thing I can remember was the pretty long ”Om Shanti” chant, followed by thunder-like hightec-high-bpm-drop. 

When hearing this, firstly we were shocked. Later we laughed about the track and now it has already become a legend in pur group.

Does anybody know which track this was?? 

Additionally, I’m interested to know how the boogie was on the dancefloor when track track was dropped. 

Share your Om Shanti hightec -experiences!

There is some xenophobeia here

There has been some comments regarding a certin nationality, which from what i can tell are quite supported by most in this sub. Many of the comments fit this pattern:"I know that there are alot of good X people, but anytime i saw problematic behvior, it was done by X". Now, if you would just kindly imagine X to be black, pakistani, arab, w/e, you could easily see why is this racist and xenophobic. This type of comments have no place in a respectul community. People also often say that this is without relation to these natioan's politics, but they mention that those people are supporting certin crimes such as war crimes and genoicide. I personally have no problem with British, Germans, Russains, Serbs, Spanish, Amercain people and so forth attending any party i go to, so i dont see why is this relevant, as well.

Questioning

Apparently, the horrific moment happened during Astrix’s musical set. He kept playing and the crowd kept dancing, even though everyone had clearly seen what was going on.
I think that’s ugly; I expected better from the trance crowd.

To me, it feels truly inhuman and horrible to keep dancing as if nothing were wrong in the middle of such a moment. It’s as if people chose to switch off their empathy and carry on with the party, ignoring the gravity of what was unfolding right in front of them.
That kind of collective indifference is hard to swallow. In a scene that often talks about unity, consciousness and connection, seeing people dance through something like this feels like a betrayal of those values.

Honestly, it really fits the mentality of Ozora: just a bunch of wealthy people who couldn’t care less about others dying right in front of their eyes.

Guy dancing with his plant in a wooden frame backpack

Who else has seen or even met/spoken to the guy with a wooden frame backpack and a large plant inside it and got to know his story?

I've seen him (this year) dancing in the Dome on Tuesday or Wednesday night. The wooden frame had even lights installed 🤩

A couple of days later I've seen him again during the day at Pumpui.

I found it amazing and interesting, but missed the opportunity talking to him.

I'm not able to show anything here, as I did not take a sneaky picture out of respect of his privacy.

So where are you plant-man? What is your story? What is the name of the plant? How did it manage the heat and dust? So many questions stayed unanswered... ✨

Cheers.

A call

For years, whispers have circulated through the psytrance community about the dark underbelly of Ozora Festival: the sexual assaults, the harassment, the rapes that happen in the shadows while the music blares and the crowd dances. Victims speak quietly among themselves, afraid to come forward because they know nothing will happen. The festival organizers have done virtually nothing to create safe reporting mechanisms, support services, or accountability structures for survivors. Security is either absent, indifferent. Women and vulnerable attendees are left to navigate a space where aggression is normalized, where being “high” or “in the zone” is used as an excuse to ignore violations, and where speaking up means being dismissed, blamed, or silenced.

This culture of impunity must end. Ozora has built its brand on ideals of love, unity, and consciousness, yet it fails catastrophically when it comes to protecting its most vulnerable participants. There are no clear protocols for reporting assault, no dedicated safe spaces, no visible campaigns against sexual violence, and no transparent follow-up when incidents occur. Survivors are left traumatized, alone, and unheard, while perpetrators walk free, often returning year after year without consequence. This is not just negligence. By refusing to act, the festival sends a clear message: profit and image matter more than the safety and dignity of its attendees.

To every survivor who has been silenced, ignored, or made to feel small: your voice matters. What happened to you is not your fault. You deserve justice, support, and a space where you can speak without fear. We call on Ozora Festival to immediately implement concrete measures: establish a dedicated, confidential reporting system for sexual assault; train security and staff to respond appropriately and compassionately; create visible safe zones with trained support personnel; launch clear anti-harassment campaigns before and during the event; and commit to transparency by publishing annual reports on incidents and actions taken. Until these steps are taken, participating in Ozora means endorsing a system that protects abusers and abandons victims. The time for whispers is over. It’s time to speak up, stand together, and demand real change.

🎶 Ace Ventura 🌈 Ozora Festival 2026 🌈 Full Set video 🌈 Psytrance | Ace Ventura🌀 ♪

Closing the stage on the first afternoon of Ozora Festival 2026 with an Ace Ventura set was a total blast... The connection with that magical dancefloor was incredible from the first kick to the last. After 15 Ozoras in a row, this place still manages to surprise me, inspire me and remind me why it means so much to so many people.

Enjoy the set, and until next time, big love to all Ozorians ❤️‍🔥

Ozora needs more shade

This year was brutal when it came to the heat. It really feels like the climate is changing fast in Hungary, and summers with more frequent heatwaves and extreme drought are probably something we’ll have to deal with more and more.
So I think it’s time to think bigger about shade at Ozora. Instead of just adding a few more shade sails here and there, why not take inspiration from nature and try to create something like an “artificial forest” around the stages?
I made these concept images just to show the idea. Obviously the actual design could be completely different, but imagine modular artificial “trees” of different heights, with large permeable canopies providing shade while still letting air through. Place enough of them around the dancefloor, entrances and chill areas and you could create something that actually feels a bit like being under a forest canopy.
For me personally, the heat was just too much this year. Around 40°C with very little shade around some of the busiest areas made it difficult to enjoy the festival during the day. At this point I don’t think asking for significantly more shade is unreasonable.
Ozora is a huge festival, so I think some of the money should be reinvested into adapting the site to these hotter summers. They could even cooperate with festivals like Boom, Mo:Dem or others to develop a modular system together and share some of the development costs. If designed properly, the same structures could be disassembled, transported and reused at different festivals for years.

Surprised that everyone thought the sound on mainstage was great

Am I in the minority when I thought the sound on the main stage was generally crap. The bass distortion was terrible up front, and anywhere on the front left and front right. I'm being kind - it was utter crap for a festival of this stature.

The only place I found the sound to sit well with me was in a narrow band in the center of the dancefloor further behind (in the second section of the main stage).

I was front left for ajja - horrible, front center for Tristan (great set, terrible sound).

I was back and central for ace ventura and Astrix and had the best time.

And i was a bit surprised to hear friends generally call the sound amazing - and on this subreddit too.

The sound at Pumpui was great everywhere I stood - no complaints there.

Does anyone else feel the same?

Hi, everyone! We’re looking for our dear friend, Bence Szolnoki (21), who was last seen on Tuesday morning, July 28. On Tuesday, he said he wanted to move from the volunteers’ campsite to another campsite. He left most of his belongings there, taking only his phone, a small bag, and a hammock with him. He can’t be reached by phone, and he hasn’t been responding on social media either. If anyone knows anything about him or has seen him since the morning of July 28, please let us know.

Description (as last seen):

Hair: Long light brown hair, sometimes covered with a red headscarf/bandana.
Jewelry: A hoop earring in his left ear. He may also be wearing a thin copper bracelet and several silver rings.
Glasses: Often wears orange sunglasses.
Shirt: Green-and-white striped T-shirt.
Pants: Long green (khaki) military-style cargo pants.
Bag: Light green crossbody bag.
Shoes: Low-top Converse sneakers with a flame pattern.

Physical description:

Athletic build
Approximately 180 cm (5'11") tall
Has eczema

If you have any information or saw him please call me: +36 20 255 2568 , or his brother: +36 30 876 1905
Szentendre Police Department, where the report was filed: +36 26 502 400

EDIT

A rendőrség felé természetesen jelezve lett az eltűnés, viszont sajnos csak a fesztivál vége felé. Mindannyian (barátai) úgy gondoltuk, hogy el van magában. Ki van adva a körözés nemzetközi szinten is napok óta. Kórházak meg lettek kérdezve. Sajnos későn jutott eszünkbe hogy Redditre is kiírjuk a történtekert.

Of course, his disappearance was reported to the police, but unfortunately not until toward the end of the festival. All of us (his friends) thought he was just off on his own. An international missing persons alert has been out for days. Hospitals have been contacted. Unfortunately, it didn’t occur to us until it was too late to post about what happened on Reddit.

If you hate crowds and don’t like the music, why go to a festival?

I went to Ozora in 2019 and decided to go again this year with a friend who had never been to a festival before.

Funny thing is, she was actually the one who bought the early-bird ticket while traveling in Sri Lanka. She was super excited, texting me “we’re going, we’re going!” and even met someone who was coming to Ozora too.

We arrived Saturday and she seemed totally fine while we walked around. Then on Sunday she told me it was all too much and that she didn’t want to be there anymore.

I suggested we go to Lake Balaton for a day, take a break and come back, especially since her friends were arriving Wednesday. But she decided to go home Tuesday.

I stayed and had a great time, but I’m still wondering — why go to a festival like Ozora if you don’t really listen to the music and don’t like crowds or that kind of environment?

Of course, there’s nothing wrong with realizing something isn’t for you. I just feel like maybe she was more excited about the idea of Ozora than the actual experience.

What do you guys think?
