When the first outdoor trance parties were held in the Indian state of Goa in the late 1980s, nobody would have thought that this trend would last or develop so long. Hardly any other dance scene in Europe has a greater sense of belonging than the Goa scene. Here music and everything related to it is still alive. There is no other genre with a more distinctive and better developed "underground"party scene, in numerous forums and communities the fans are in close contact. Smaller events take place all the time, and in summer the big festivals and parties like Waldfrieden Wonderland, VUUV Festival, Alice im Wummerland or Psy-Purgisnacht are always sold out.
