ZOO Party 2026 provides traditionally again some various and awesome side programme besides the traditional demoscene competitions.
Summary
Live music features legendary Finnish band Aavikko – this one Friday set you absolutely don’t want to miss! Also throughout the entire weekend, Artline Designs’ own DJ Jangler and other TBA acts will be in the house.
Keynotes happen around Saturday midday and feature talks with Finnish SID tormentors 8 Bits High, C-64 fixers and builders Jari ‘Jartza’ Tulilahti from Firebay Refurb and Ville ‘Jope’ Jouppi.
Exhibitions featuring Worrior1 with PETSCII works, Arto Karttunen with his custom-painted hardware and Daniel Stolle who illustrates ZOO’26 live all through the party.
And more.
