UFO BUFO at a glance
The 2026 edition ran from 24–28 June at Hadinka and marked the festival’s 11th edition, with four music areas spanning psytrance, hi-tech, techno, live music and chill. UFO BUFO is a Czech psychedelic festival built around a specialist Psytrance and Hi-Tech main stage, supported by separate stages for psychill, live music and other electronic forms. Held at Hadinka near Vítkov-Klokočov, it combines music with visual art, installations, healing activities and family facilities.
How UFO BUFO evolved
The festival developed into a recurring Czech gathering at Hadinka and completed its eleventh edition in 2026.
Music, programming & dancefloors
The BUFO stage is explicitly focused on Psytrance and Hi-Tech. Psychill has its own stage, while techno, tekno, house and live performance are kept in separate programme areas. This structure makes the festival’s Psytrance identity clear without treating the whole event as musically uniform.
Role in psytrance festival culture
UFO BUFO represents the smaller, scene-led Central European festival model: a recurring rural gathering with a strong underground dancefloor, visual-art community and family/healing infrastructure , not a large commercial festival footprint.
