🌲 **THE FINAL PROPER OUTDOOR GATHERING OF THE SEASON** 🌲
**4–6 SEPTEMBER 2026 · FOREST STAR FESTIVAL GROUNDS · HJO, SWEDEN**
Before the Swedish outdoor season disappears back into the darkness, we have one final mission.
For three days and two nights, **Resonans** takes over the beloved **Forest Star Festival grounds** for a completely new psychedelic outdoor experience — and the premiere of a concept built to explore what a gathering can become when music, art and production are allowed to evolve together.
If you love **forest music**, this one is essential. But Resonans is not limited to a single branch of psychedelia. The musical journey moves through **dark prog, full-on, psytrance, nightpsy and forest** — from deep daytime grooves to powerful nighttime territory.
For this first chapter, we are joining forces with the Finnish label **CLH Records** to celebrate their **10-year anniversary**, together with artists from **Forestdelic Records** and the wider international psychedelic underground.

# # # A NEW CONCEPT IS BORN
**Resonans** is an ongoing exploration of psychedelic music, art and creative experience.
Each event will enter new territory, challenge the senses and develop its own identity. No copy-and-paste productions. No fixed formula. Every gathering will be a new chapter.
This is where it begins.
# # # THE MINDS BEHIND RESONANS

Together, they are building Resonans as a platform for ambitious psychedelic events where music, visual art, sound and environment operate as one experience.
This is not just another weekend in the woods.
It is the **last proper outdoor gathering of the season**, a **10-year celebration of CLH Records**, and the **first-ever chapter of Resonans** — created on one of Sweden’s most loved psychedelic festival grounds.
