  
Massive Attack, Bring Me The Horizon, Queens of The Stone Age, Chase and Status, Sean Paul and Paolo Nutini – this is what the headliners of the 10th edition of the Electric Castle festival look like. Another 300 artists from all musical genres will be present at Banffy Castle, in Bonțida, between July 17 and 21, to create a new epic, eclectic, exotic, explosive edition. Subscriptions, in a special promotion of 139 Euros, can be purchased at www.electriccastle.ro
Epic – Beyond the trending charts of the moment, there are artists who write history in music. Massive Attack and Queens of The Stone Age have created musical styles, becoming benchmarks for entire generations of musicians, while bands such as Bring Me The Horizon and Chase and Status are revolutionizing their versatility and appetite for experimentation in different musical areas. Electric Castle 2024 means that, in just 5 days, you have the chance to see their live shows and be part of this history.
Eclectic – Electric Castle has always had the courage to challenge, and Sean Paul, one of the most prolific dancehall artists of all time, is the surprise of the edition. His image is everything you would expect from a rapper born in the capital of reggae style, but his track record in hits (1.2 billion listens in 2023 alone) and awards (Grammy, AMA, Billboard) says much more about ambition, talent and the power to create a brand. In the opposite register, Paolo Nutini comes with a cocktail of rock and soul, a voice that stirs emotions and more than 20 years of career that has brought him millions of fans.
The two join a musical entourage created by the organizers to take festival fans out of their comfort zone. With Marc Rebillet, the hottest DJ of the moment, Shaquille O'Neal aka DJ Diesel aka NBA star turned drum and bass star, Sevdaliza, the artist experimenting with Iranian rhythms in pop music, and L'Entourloop, the collective project led by two French posing as the "grandfathers of hip-hop", Electric Castle rejects line-up recipes and follows its own creative instinct.
Explosive – Electric Castle means 5 days of non-stop partying, hosted this year by the queen of techno music, Nina Kravitz, Hernan Cattaneo, an important name in progressive house, DJ Shadow, master of the art of sampling, Kungs, Todd Terje, and many other festival premiere DJs. Sasha and Bonobo return to the castle, producers discovered by festival fans at the first editions and always very well received here.
For those who get their energy from rock, the musical adventure will go through metal with the brothers Max and Igor Cavalera, the founders of Sepultura who re-recorded two of the band's "classic" albums and will present them live, in a new formula, Sleaford Mods , probably the most punk band in the UK at the moment, or garage rock with Iguana Death Cult and She Wants Revenge. Palaye Royale add a touch of elegance to the line up with their unique style, self-defined as fashionart-rock.
Exotic – Latin, African or Oriental rhythms find space on the 10 stages of the festival and at the 10th edition. Whether they will sing in Spanish, like iLe, winner of the Latin Grammys for the best urban album, in Turkish, as Derya Yildirim & Group Şimşek do, or on Congolese rhythms, a premiere through the Fulu Miziki concert, the artists bring an important contribution to the festival's mission to promote quality music from around the world.
Romanian artists remain in the center of attention at the 10th edition of the festival as well: Subcarpathi, Vița de Vie, Coma, Vama, Irina Rimes, Byron, Delia, Șuie Paparude, CTC and dozens of other names are confirmed by the organizers.
