Sometimes we get annoyed by the passage of time, wanting to stay forever young, firm, and foolish. Yet, with each passing moment, we grow richer in experiences – and seven years in the LΛS forest have taught us all a lot.
Though we adore extremes, we increasingly understand that "stronger" doesn't always mean "deeper" – and a tired body is a tired spirit. Years of exploration have also strengthened our appreciation for diversity. Variety is our strength. Hence, the guiding idea of the upcoming edition of LΛS is the BALANCE - understood in many ways.
a r t
Image, sound, performance. Balance will embrace various art forms that will find more space in the Forest.
c r e a t o r s – p a r t i c i p a n t s
We invite you to the festival as artists – we build the space, but, as every year, we give it a beautiful vibe together. The upcoming edition will enhance the balance between the role of the creator and the participant, giving you new possibilities of expression.
n i g h t – d a y
While a diverse musical offer is one of our flagship strengths, seeking balance between night and day, we will further enrich the palettes both of sounds and of non-dance activities.
s p a c e
The balance between different corners of our forest is also very important. There's no hierarchy or main dance floor. We create many independent spaces, putting our hearts into each, and their harmony is meant to provide you with relaxation and plenty of inspiration.
LΛS in balance is not just one, but five 'golden means' – plus a few smaller ones, including the new version of LΛS Terrace
All Forest nooks will gain a new harmony – collectively and individually.

Our scenic area always strives for musical balance – drifting somewhere between the soft sounds of Flow Tent and the power of Tree House. This delicate game will now include balance between night and day – and between various art forms. Throughout the day, expect diverse events (workshops, performances, and other artistic surprises) and equally varied music.

We decided to stir things up and add a pinch of chaos and broken beats even where the cloud-enshrouded Jah oversees harmony. However, we won't forget the core of this place – roots are important.

Full of vibrant music and organic sounds, Flow Tent has always provided a counterbalance to the more intense parts of LΛS – without any lacking in the depth of emotions it stirred or the number of goosebumps on the skin.
The flowing current of Flow Tent will also branch out a bit, emphasizing harmony between different music genres and, during the day, diversifying the attractions in this cozy space.

Over the last three years, we've gotten to know the Owl by listening to what she has to convey. This year, she will welcome us into its inner sanctum: we'll immerse ourselves in the owly thicket, and the psychedelic hooting of its guardian will take on a colorful harmony.
Representing the richness of the owl's world of our dimension, the astral owl at times might turn out to be a soft owlet swaying to psy-chill vibes. On other occasions – a tripping dark forest sprite, and yet another time – a formidable ear-flapping creature crushing dancers with powerful full-on beats.

We've come to the conclusion that our techno haven is a bit too good. It creates a gravitational pull into a cavity that's hard to escape. So, while we extend its operation by an extra day, for safety we'll be muting the sound every 45 minutes – to force fans of strong beats to seek balance.
Of course, we're kidding. Tree House 2024 means even more excellence that won't let you out of the dance floor
