The Mayan Warrior Art Car and Soundcamp has burned brightly on the Burning Man Playa and beyond for ten years, the mutant sound system has attracted hundreds of thousands, blazing a trail of sonic creativity that celebrates the burgeoning underground Mexican electronic scene and pairs ancient art with modern technology.
The Mayan Warrior is, at its most basic, a custom truck that's been torn down and rebuilt with blazing neon, laser lights, a DJ booth and loudspeakers, the truck's cab transformed into the head of a supernatural Mayan being. But the power and significance of the Mayan Warrior has transcended this impressive physical vehicle, through its sound camps on the Playa and pop up parties across the Americas, Mayan Warrior has become an international cultural force for good, a non-profit that became one of the globe's can't miss parties.
To celebrate its ten year anniversary, Mayan Warrior will team up with promoter collective Stranger Than, who produced Mayan Warrior's first West Coast show off the Playa. These ten year anniversary fundraising events are currently the only place to catch Mayan Warrior Art Car outside of Burning Man this year, and will see the iconic Mayan Warrior art car and tens of thousands of its colorful followers juxtaposed against the downtown skylines of major American cities.
While Mayan Warrior can't bring the Playa to these events, the shows with Stranger Than will be truly immersive experiences, transforming urban cores into other-wordly and art-filled environments. From installation art pieces created by the Mayan Warrior community to individual performers that will pop up within and above the crowd, the Mayan Warrior ten year shows will sprinkle some of the magic of the Burning Man experience across the US.

Hailing from Mexico City, Mayan Warrior grew from a renegade Burning Man Art Car to one of electronic music's most successful touring brands over the last decade, all with unannounced lineups showcasing a mix of native Mexican and global talent.
