ArrivalWe arrive, set up camp and meet one another. The gathering opens at dusk.
In the timeless verses of Homer’s Iliad, Imbros is whispered as the sacred sanctuary where the deep, rumbling seas hold ancient secrets. Beneath its shores lay the hidden caverns of Poseidon, a realm where the raw forces of nature rested. But the true heart of the island belonged to the “Megaloi Theoi”—the Great Gods—and the ancient gatherings of the “Mystai.”
The Mystai were not mere spectators; they were the initiates, the seekers, and the keepers of the mystery. Their gatherings were entirely self-sustained, protected from the corruption of commercial trade, powered solely by the shared faith, energy, and collective devotion of the community.
Roksado is the awakening of this ancient blueprint.
We are not a conventional music festival backed by corporate sponsors. We are a decentralized, community-funded (crowdfunded) modern gathering of the new Mystai. Just like the ancients who gathered on these wind-swept shores of Imbros, our structure is entirely co-created and sustained by you—the collective. By pooling our energy, our resources, and our passion, we ensure that our feet remain firmly on the ground while our minds touch the cosmic.
You are not buying a ticket to a show; you are initiating a movement. You are the Mystai. The gathering manifests through you.
Imbros is not just a destination; it is an ancient vortex where the deep, rumbling Aegean Sea meets cosmic whispers. For three days, we leave the modern world behind to step into the hidden realm of Poseidon and the Megaloi Theoi (The Great Gods).
Gökçeada is an ancient landscape where time itself slows down. In this cradle, recognized as one of the world's first quiet towns (Cittaslow), you can explore historic Greek villages like Zeytinli, Tepeköy, and Dereköy, which captivate visitors with their nostalgic stone houses and cobblestone streets. You can transform the sunset into a mesmerizing ritual at İncirburnu, the westernmost point of Türkiye. This mystical geography also awaits you with Aydıncık (Kefalos) Beach—a world-renowned gathering point for windsurfing enthusiasts—the Cheese Rocks (Peynir Kayalıkları) dazzling with their massive rock formations, and Türkiye's only underwater national park with its pristine marine life. Shaped by the fiercest waves of the Aegean, this sacred sanctuary whispers the raw power of nature and hidden history at every single corner.
The full programme will be shared here as it is co-created. This is the shape of the weekend.
We arrive, set up camp and meet one another. The gathering opens at dusk.
The heart of the weekend: music, shared work and play from morning into the night.
A slow morning, a last meal together, and leaving the island lighter than we came.
We come together by the sea, in tent mode. To get away from the suffocating air of commercial parties, we meet on the beach of Imbros. Roksado is an independent, non-profit beach-camp gathering, made possible by the shared contribution (co-fund) of all of us. We shoulder the budget together, build the space together and open a safe space for one another.
The line-up is co-created with the community. Names and the day-by-day schedule will be announced here.
Traditional music events, driven by commercial concerns, open their doors to anyone who pays. When tickets are sold on classic ticketing sites, anyone with no connection to the music at all, anyone who could damage the community spirit or threaten the safe space, can simply walk right in. We reject that.
Roksado is not a commercial party; it is a gathering of the tribe. That is why we chose the Co-Fund (shared funding) model, knowingly and willingly. Because this model gives both us and you two great strengths:
You are not buying a ticket to a show. You are joining the Mystai and helping fund the gathering together. Choose your ticket below and complete the payment securely.
Mystai Ticket · 3 days100 USDT
1. Collective Funding (Co-Fund) and Operational Management Model: This gathering is a collective event brought into being through the shared budget of its participants. The ticket/participation fees set are collected in the common pool to cover the sound system, décor, stage areas, logistics, legal permits and infrastructure costs, together with the professional operational management fee of the organising team, which undertakes all coordination of the gathering, website management, financial risks, marketing/PR processes and community moderation. The participant accepts in advance that the amount paid covers both the technical production costs and this professional management effort.
2. Flexible Calendar and Postponement Policy: Cancellation of the gathering is not planned. However, if the minimum participation target required for the gathering to take place (200 participants) is not reached by the first target date, 30 May 2027, the gathering automatically enters a second funding period in order to complete the budget. In that case, the gathering is postponed to the spring of the following year, in line with the seasonal comfort and collective decision of the participants. The new date is set by a joint vote of the participant community, to fall within May 2028. The official second target and funding end date is legally taken as 30 April 2028, and the funding process continues uninterrupted. All participants who join the fund are deemed to have accepted in advance this budget-driven flexible calendar and the collective-voting structure of the project.
3. Refund and Transfer of Rights Terms:
Refund in Case of Postponement: If the gathering is postponed due to insufficient budget or force majeure, participants who cannot attend on the newly announced date will be refunded, in full and without deduction, the contribution they paid, in the stablecoin (USDT) in which it was sent to the fund (transfer/network fees being borne by the participant), provided they request it within 3 (three) business days of the postponement announcement.
Refund if the Gathering Takes Place: If the budget is completed and the gathering takes place on the announced date, no refund is made where the participant is unable to attend for personal reasons (work, health, travel, etc.). However, the participant may transfer their participation right to another person (change of name) by notifying it in writing (the transfer hash or the ticket code).
4. Community Peace and Safe Space Responsibility: In the gathering area or in community channels, the participation rights of anyone who harasses other participants, resorts to verbal or physical violence, discriminates, harms nature or clearly disrupts the peace of the community are suspended immediately and unilaterally by the organisation. In such cases, at the organisation’s discretion, the person who disrupted the community’s peace is cut off from the gathering area and the community, with or without a refund. If the participant endangers community safety (the PLUR principles), they accept this sanction in advance.
