Brina Knauss, After Affair, IDQ, Calkins, More Than You | Garden of Dreams Festival 2025 | Sarajevo
June 1 @ 2:00 pm - 11:00 pm
On June 1st, the final day of the Garden of Dreams Festival 2025, we rise above the city—literally. The rooftop of the iconic Svjetlost building transforms into a breathtaking stage where music meets the sky, and Sarajevo unfolds beneath like a living postcard.
A Skyline Stage of Dreams
From 14:00 to 23:00, the Garden of Dreams Stage becomes a sanctuary of sound, emotion, and freedom—a perfect closing to five days of immersive music and art. The rooftop, already cherished by the Garden of Dreams community, offers an unforgettable view and atmosphere where the horizon merges with melody.
Brina Knauss – Melodic Powerhouse Takes Over Sarajevo
International DJ and producer Brina Knauss brings her emotional, melody-driven sound to the Garden of Dreams rooftop. Known for performances at Tomorrowland, Cercle, ULTRA, Zamna, and Awakenings, the Slovenian artist blends classical training with deep rhythmic intuition to create truly immersive sets. Her Sarajevo debut promises a moment to remember.
After Affair – The Soul of Garden of Dreams
No Garden of Dreams story is complete without After Affair. The Sarajevo-based DJ duo is beloved for sets that blend deep emotion with energetic beats, creating magic wherever they perform. As pillars of the festival, After Affair return to guide us once more—this time, above the rooftops—into a sonic dreamscape.
IDQ – Belgrade’s Electronic Fusion Trio Live in Sarajevo
Making their Sarajevo debut, IDQ is a standout trio from Belgrade known for fusing vocals, rhythm, and melody into a unique electronic sound. With past collaborations with house legends like Yousef, Roger Sanchez, and David Penn, and support from icons like Black Coffee and Hernán Cattáneo, IDQ’s live act is set to elevate the final day of the festival.
Local Powerhouses: Calkins & More Than You
Joining the lineup on Cupra Stage are Sarajevo’s own Calkins and More Than You—two acts that reflect the creative spirit and sonic diversity of the city. Their presence brings local energy to the skyline stage and celebrates the talent that defines the region.
A Day to Remember, A View You’ll Never Forget
As the sun sets behind the mountains and Sarajevo’s lights shimmer below, we’ll know we’re exactly where we’re meant to be—high above the noise, surrounded by music, dreams, and unforgettable energy.
