Two-day Butterflies in Babylon party at Thuishaven

Butterflies in Babylon returns to Home Port at March 28 & 29, 2026: a full flow of live acts and DJ sets during the day, continuing in the evening (Saturday) with an after party. This is the Babylon formula at its most "Amsterdam": industrial terrain, soft edges, and an audience that comes for more than just the drop.

Homeport is perfect for weekends like this: plenty of raw steel and room for multiple worlds at once. Butterflies in Babylon cleverly plays off that with several stages AND a separate zone for ceremonies and workshops-so you can just as easily dance for two hours as land and get back on the floor.

The organization behind it, The Gardens of Babylon, explicitly positions the event as their first big gathering of the year, with spring as their theme (awakening/new start). Practically that means: a lineup that combines melodic, organic and (occasionally) firmer electronic colors, plus fringe program that you don't have to "believe" to still get something out of it.

The lineup (as published) mixes live sets and DJs with a distinct Babylon signature. Think names like Satori, Patrice Bäumel, Sarah Wild, Fejká (live), Sainte Vie (live), Âme (live), KAHMEYA, Moon's Voyager (live) and more-enough to fill your weekend without everything feeling like one long Spotify algorithm.

You come for the music, but you stay because the whole day feels like one story.

In addition, on Saturday there will be a afterparty for those who are not yet "off" after the day's program. That's exactly the sweet spot of Thuishaven: you don't have to switch, but you do switch to a different energy.
