Psicotrópicos Festival returns in July for its second edition in Amsterdam with a bang. Now across two nights, and with a carefully curated selection of Brazilian artists who are shaping the sound of today.

Saturday July 12
Jota.pê, winner of 3 Latin Grammys in 2025 will show his blend of Afro-Brazilian traditions with modern influences like soul and MPB. Jéssica Gaspar brings a strong connection to ancestral Afro-Brazilian rhythms, layered with contemporary textures and a powerful voice. Tuyo, one of Brazil’s most exciting indie pop trios, is known for their intimate, emotional sound and poetic lyrics. Also part of the lineup are DJ Eric Terena, an Indigenous artist using electronic music as a tool of cultural resistance, and Batekoo, the collective at the forefront of Brazil’s Black and LGBTQIA+ urban culture scene.

Tuesday July 29
A rare chance to see Hermeto Pascoal, a true legend of Brazilian music and global sounds, still expanding sonic boundaries at 90 years of age. Gabriela Leite, a rising name in Brazilian guitar, known for her distinctive style and technical depth.
