Babylon Bridges @ YAAM

Music builds bridges – between genres, generations, and cultures. With Babylon Bridges, we celebrate diversity at YAAM, creating a space where differences turn into connections.

On the Main Stage, you can expect an energetic mix of Hip-Hop, Reggae, Afrobeat, Dancehall, House, and Funk – a crossover that merges genres and breaks boundaries. At the Spree Stage, we bring you the classic YAAM sound: Reggae vibes, Dub, and Roots right by the water. At the Beach, get ready to dance to vibrant Latino and Salsa rhythms, while the Cool Runnings Bar turns up the heat with Afrohouse, Afrotech, and House for a pulsating club atmosphere.

Whether at the beach, the bar, or in front of the stage – everywhere you’ll find togetherness that goes far beyond music. Babylon Bridges is more than just a festival: it’s an invitation to cross borders and celebrate as one.

Yaam (Kult.Verein für Jugendkultur. e.V.)

For almost 30 years, YAAM has been offering a platform for underground music, street art, social projects, and alternative art forms. The YAAM – Young African Art Market – is an independent socio-cultural project that has existed in Berlin since 1994 and has been located at Schillingbrücke since 2014.

On our 8,000 m² site you will find a food market with culinary offerings from Africa and the Caribbean, a sports field, a children’s playground, as well as various bars and dancefloors.

YAAM is a unique and colorful microcosm in the midst of Berlin’s glass-fronted city center, dedicated to social cohesion, multicultural encounters, art, and music.
