Mayan Warrior, the iconic Burning Man soundcamp and art car, has just announced its official return to the playa, a Los Angeles Halloween show, and the concept for their brand-new art car.

Mayan Warrior, one of Burning Man’s most iconic sound camps and art cars, has announced its triumphant return to the playa along with a special Halloween show in Los Angeles. This comeback marks the unveiling of their brand new art car, “Mayan Warrior Galaxyer,” following the unfortunate destruction of their original vehicle last year.

Originating from Mexico City, Mayan Warrior has grown from a rebellious Burning Man art car into a major name in the electronic music touring scene. Known for its surprise lineups featuring both native Mexican and international underground talent, the project’s resilience and community spirit have shone through in the aftermath of the accident. The new art car, designed to resemble a futuristic Mayan spaceship, blends ancient artistry with cutting-edge technology. It features a wireless-controlled custom electrical drivetrain, a powerful cardioid sound system, and state-of-the-art laser systems.

The new vehicle was a collaborative effort led by Mayan Warrior founder Pablo Gonzalez Vargas, conceptual designer Alvaro Manzo, laser and lighting expert Paolo Montiel, and industrial designer Daniel Coello. This incredible rebuild ensures the Mayan Warrior legacy continues to inspire and awe fans across the globe.
