Electric Castle, the festival experience set by the Bánffy Castle in Transylvania, stands out for its immersive day and night vibes. Known for its top-notch quality, diverse lineup, and appreciation from both festival-goers and artists, this event isn't your average gig.
Picture this: a 15th-century castle, nature's beauty, and a lineup that hits various genres, topped with media installations, talks that stir things up, and performances that'll have you jaw-dropped. It's an extraordinary experience, unmatched by anything else out there.
Hold onto your seats because it’s one of Europe's rare 24-hour festivals! Yep, non-stop entertainment, artsy vibes, comedy, fashion, food, drinks—the works. And don't think it's just nighttime shenanigans; they've got daytime activities too.
This festival's history includes big names like Gorillaz, Twenty One Pilots, Florence + The Machine, Skrillex, and many more. And guess what? The 10th edition in July 2024 promises a grand celebration of their journey so far, with Massive Attack, Queens of the Stone Age, and other hotshots already confirmed.
But wait, there’s more! Camping, oh yeah. Over 15,000 folks make the festival campsite their home within a festival. And get this, the castle itself, previously off-limits, now opens its doors to exhibitions and interactive art during the festival.
And here's the kicker: Electric Castle isn't just about partying. They're all about restoring Romania’s forgotten landmarks, like the Bánffy Castle, and boosting the local community and economy.
Music-wise? They've hosted a crazy number of artists, from Macklemore to Iggy Pop, Jamie XX, and even Gorillaz. They're into experimental stuff, top-notch quality, and they're hardcore about nature preservation and heritage.
This festival's got an avant-garde spirit, always looking forward, challenging norms, and bringing in innovative designs and art. So, if you're up for an experience that's part music, part history, and all adventure, Electric Castle is where it's at.
