DEEPHOUSE VINYASA FLOW BY HENRY MCMILLAN & MUSIC BY BONITA
Born in former Yugoslavia and raised in the Netherlands, Bonita lives by one motto: do what you love, with respect for others and the planet. Her sets are a dynamic blend of Deep House, tropical vibes, and Balkan beats, always tuned to the crowd’s energy. Bonita thrives in vibrant spaces, spreading good vibes through music and positivity. For her, music isn’t fixed, it flows with the moment. Feel the crowd, and the crowd feels the music.

Known in Amsterdam as the Queen of Mantra, Bonnie’s big monthly kirtan events are always sold out, transporting audiences to another dimension through her voice. But at this festival, she’s not here to sing – she’s here to move.

In this energizing and playful Vinyasa Flow, Bonnie invites you to flow with the beat, sweat with intention, and reconnect with joy. Half Indonesian and half Dutch, she has been practicing yoga since childhood. With a background as a professional dancer, she now devotes her full heart to yoga – movement as soul expression.

FREE WATER
Water is for everyone! That’s why you can fill up your own bottles or­ ­ jerry cans with water at any time at the water taps at the sanitary facilities. At the festival we will provide several free water points near the toilets.
SAVE WATER: EVERY DROP COUNTS
Water is one of our most precious resources. Together with the Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management, the Province of North Brabant, the drinking water company Brabant Water, and the regional water authorities De Dommel and Brabantse Delta, we are using our festival to drive circular water chains through the Every Drop Counts project — an initiative focused on water saving and circular water use.

We have been taking concrete steps to reduce water consumption and improve water efficiency at our events, including:

• Installing water-saving taps and showerheads
• Using non-potable water for all flush toilets
• Gaining insight into our full water balance to identify further opportunities for savings

And you can help too! Camping visitors can make a real impact by shortening their shower time — even a small change makes a big difference when thousands of people join in.

Together, we aim to make every drop count — for today and for future generations.
