This year's festival season gets off to an enchanting start earlier than ever: Butterflies in Babylon March 14 and 15, 2025. Beloved for its unique blend of music, spirituality and community, The Gardens of Babylon transforms the Thuishaven Terrain in Amsterdam into a magical oasis. This is not a standard festival, but an experience that touches and inspires you.
Imagine three indoor areas with two music stages full of live acts and world-class DJ sets such as Pachanga Boys, Viken Arman and Britta Arnold B2B Mira, in addition to a spiritual zone with ceremonies and workshops. From organic house to tribal beats, and from tantric sessions to ecstatic dance - here you will find a perfect balance between dancing and personal growth. The weekend begins with a communal meditation, which gets you right into the right vibe.
An absolute highlight is Bibi Brzozka's exclusive tantra workshop on Friday, March 14. This international expert in spiritual sexuality will take you into the world of energetic orgasms and break taboos with her refreshing approach. You can also enjoy artists like Christian Löffler and Rampue (live) on Friday, and Bahramji & Medusa Odyssey on Saturday. After sunset, the after parties continue until 04:00 with names like Oceanvs Orientalis and Julia Sandstorm.
The spiritual side offers depth with sessions such as light therapy, tarot and an inspirational talk with Because We Carry. All of this makes Butterflies in Babylon unique: it's a place where you dance until you can't anymore, but also get closer to yourself. Don't miss it - this two-day adventure at Thuishaven promises an unforgettable start to the festival season. Get carried away by music, magic and connection!
