Psychedelics Get Their Own Mainstream Festival in Berlin

TRYP Expo, billed as Europe’s biggest event for mental health and psychedelic science, lands in Berlin this May. The founding edition at Funkhaus expects 15,000 people across 80-plus speakers, 150 exhibitors, breathwork and sound-healing workshops and a biohacking area — and, at night, live music across four stages. Psychedelics, once underground, are being staged as a polished wellness festival.

It is a clear sign of mainstreaming: a once-taboo, fringe subject packaged with the production values of a music festival and the credibility of a science conference. When something moves from the margins into a ticketed, sponsor-friendly format like this, it is no longer fringe — it is becoming an industry.

So…:

What once-niche idea in your field is quietly turning into a mainstream, ticketed event?
