TIBA Festival 2025

In the organizer's words:

On August 16, 2025, the TIBA Movement e.V., a young association that has set itself the task of providing a stage for Black & Brown artists of African descent and bringing the diversity of African cultures into the electronic music world - something that only exists in this form once in Cologne - presents the TIBA Festival in Die Kantine.

Under the motto "Journey into another dimension", electronic music will merge with fascinating Afrofuturism from Saturday, 14:00 to Sunday, 06:00. There will be three stages:

The Space Garden with Afro-House, Afro-Tech, Amapiano, various house genres and a chill-out area,

Planet Fawohodie (from 22:00) with techno, industrial techno and trance as well as other techno subgenres, and the

Cosmic Lab with a lecture on Afrofuturism by Peggy Piesche, live acts, a film screening on the origins of Detroit techno, a ballroom performance, art exhibitions and DJs.

The organizer TIBA Movement e.V. is thus creating a unique platform in Germany for Black & Brown artists and celebrating African cultures in the electronic music scene. Following the great success of last year's events in cooperation with OYA Müllem, the TIBA Festival once again promises a diverse audience and inspiring encounters. One important aspect is awareness: with the resources available, efforts will be made to ensure safety and inclusion on the festival grounds: with the Queerfeminist Door Collective, awareness teams on site, accessibility and the "Tiba Nook" as a safe retreat.
