The organizers of Electric Castle have announced the first wave of artists who will come to the 2024 edition of the Bonțida festival! Massive Attack, Bring Me The Horizon and Queens of The Stone Age are the first big names to be confirmed for the 10th edition.
Also in live format, the band Chase & Status will be present on the Electric Castle festival stage.
"We have headliners for EC 2024 Massive Attack, Queens of The Stone Age, we're waiting to bow in front of the stage there, in front of the legend Josh Homme, then Bring Me The Horizon for the third time at the festival, but I want to tell you that it's never enough BMTH in EC and Chase and Status in a live formula, which is unusual for him. About once every 5-6 years he comes out with this formula. For drum and bass lovers, put it in the calendar, with a red pen! Of course, there are many, many other artists. We have a few dozen artists,” Electric Castle PR Renate Roca-Rozenberg said on the Morning Glory show Wednesday morning.
The announcement was made via a video and on Electric Castle's Facebook page, where several names from the line-up were given.
The Electric Castle festival will take place between July 17 and 21, 2024, on the Banffy field in Bonțida.
Electric Castle 2024, an edition with a lot of rock and trip hop
Organizers have announced details of the artists and Electric Castle's 10th edition, which is set to be one with "a lot of rock and trip hop".
"The 10th edition of the festival is announced with a lot of rock and trip hop. The list of artists is completed by Chase and Status (live), Marc Rebillet, Nina Kraviz, Bonobo, Dj Shadow, Sleaford Mods, among many other names, and a surprise guest: Shaquille O'Neal aka DJ Diesel, NBA legend and self-proclaimed "dubstep dad". Fans have the chance to see all these names at Electric Castle for a price of only 119 Euros, a special promotion until December 20", the organizers said in a statement.
They laid the foundation for trip hop, one of the most influential musical styles of the past few decades, and inspired a whole generation of artists through their extraordinary creative power in music, visual arts and activism. Massive Attack fully deserves its status as a cult band and the organizers of Electric Castle are honored to offer the public the chance to listen, live, to iconic songs such as Teardrop, Angel or Unfinished Sympathy.
It's time for new electric mosh pits at the main stage: Bring Me The Horizon return to EC, in full tour promoting a new album that will surprise fans with a different sound. At the band's first appearance in Romania, Queens of The Stone Age (QOTSA) promise a masterclass in rock! QOTSA is prepared with a show that goes through all periods of the career of the legendary band, from hits like Nobody Knows and I Sat By The Ocean, to the recent Carnavoyeur. Seeing Josh Homme live on the main stage at Electric Castle is a dream come true for any alternative rock lover.
With 3 tracks simultaneously in the charts worldwide, Chase and Status are currently in top form. Some of the best D'n'B artists will be at the castle live, which is very rare for the British duo. Two legends, both with roots in trip hop and an impressive career behind them: DJ Shadow, the man who turned sampling into art, and Bonobo, the producer whose discography is a whole journey between musical styles, are also on the bill Electric Castle 2024.
The pandemic was great for Marc Rebillet, when a whole world discovered his improvised sets in their own living room. Meanwhile, 'Loop Daddy', nicknamed for the live looping techniques he uses, has gone on to sold out concerts and is preparing a one-of-a-kind show for Electric Castle, while Nina Kraviz will bring to the festival her unique style that combines house and techno.
One of the most recognizable figures in the world, whether on the basketball court or behind the backboards: Shaquille O'Neal is on the EC poster as DJ Diesel, the man who converted the energy of sports into intense dubstep sets.
Two bands to listen to on repeat until their concerts at EC: Khruangbin, an infectious mix of soul, funk and psychedelic rock, and Sleaford Mods, the British band proving that punk music continues to evolve. Among the female presences in the line-up, fans of the young Kenya Grace are waiting to discover the Strangers concert version, no. 1 in the UK this autumn. After a Grammy nomination, Jayda G, the producer who released remixes for big names like Taylor Swift or Dua Lipa, makes her EC debut. Hospitality Night @ Electric Castle means, in its 10th edition, an extended show with Degs, Unglued, Camo & Krooked feat. DAXTA, Anaïs, HOAX and PVC.
