A decade of sound, community, and growth is about to culminate in the 10th anniversary of Soundscapes Zanzi. From June 6th to 11th, 2025, the shores of Bwejuu Beach in Zanzibar will transform into a sanctuary for music lovers to celebrate this milestone edition—a reflection of ten years of connection, creativity, and transformation.
The ocean’s reflections serve as the foundation for Soundscapes Zanzi V’s visual identity, symbolizing the festival’s essence. Like tides shifting between tranquility and intensity, the festival has embraced the flow of change while staying true to its roots. Each ‘wave’ represents a year of growth, connection, and sound, culminating in this eagerly awaited celebration of people, music, and nature.
This year’s edition marks a shift in perspective, embracing fluidity and transformation. V is more than just a Roman numeral for five; it symbolizes birth, water, and the power of embracing new paradigms. With this vision, Soundscapes promises a unique blend of reflective moments and powerful connections.
To celebrate its 10th anniversary, Soundscapes Zanzi V has curated one of its most ambitious lineups to date, featuring global electronic music legends, celebrated African artists, and rising talents from the MENA region. Highlights include beloved names such as Rhadoo, Margaret Dygas, XDB, Andrey Pushkarev , Brawther, Konstantin, Dyed Soundorom, Floyd Lavine, and Culoe De Song, alongside region innovators like Baloo, Zone+, Majid, Nesta, Daylomar, Farès A., Nesta, Omar Fayyad, and other key figures who have helped shape Soundscapes into the cultural touchstone it is today.
What began as an intimate gathering among friends and family has grown into a globally renowned boutique festival, seamlessly blending the beauty of the sea with cutting-edge electronic music genres like microhouse, afrohouse, minimal, and more.
