It’s time to double-book your weekend, Amsterdam. Whether you’re craving Bollywood glam or belting out guilty-pleasure anthems under the sun, this weekend is serving up two totally different, totally unmissable festivals in Amsterdam. Clear your schedule—this weekend is all about colour, chaos and catharsis. Let’s go!
Guilty Pleasure Festival: The Finale
Say goodbye to shame and hello to your inner pop star. Guilty Pleasure Festival is back for what might be its grand finale, and it’s pulling out all the stops—think wall-to-wall 90s and 00s hits, questionable dance moves, and euphoric nostalgia. From Babette & Katja’s breathless ballads to the Eurodance madness of Charly Lownoise and Lasgo, the lineup is gloriously unfiltered.
It’s not just music—it’s an over-the-top celebration of everything delightfully cheesy. Expect glitter, sing-alongs, outrageous outfits and a euphoric crowd that knows every word to Dragostea Din Tei. Bring your voice, your glitter, and your best friends. This is no place for irony—just pure, sweaty joy.
📍 Location: Gaasperplas Park
📆 Date: Saturday, July 5, 2025
LaLaLand Festival: Experience India in Amsterdam
Trade your glitter for garlands and dive into the vibrant soul of India at LaLaLand Festival. Set in the enchanting artists’ village of Ruigoord, this two-day celebration blends ancient culture with modern flair—expect Bollywood dance parties, sitar serenades, yoga under the trees, and the irresistible pull of spicy street food stalls.
Created by long-time India lovers Lalita and Noreen, LaLaLand is more than a festival—it’s a sensory trip through India’s colours, sounds and stories. From raga to rave, from chai to craft markets, this is where Amsterdam meets the subcontinent in a whirlwind of joy. Come for the culture, stay for the masala vibes. Definitely one of the most exotic festivals in Amsterdam.
📍 Location: Ruigoord, Amsterdam
📆 Dates: Saturday & Sunday, July 5–6 2025
