12th - 16th JULY, 2017 BANFFY CASTLE

A five day hedonistic adventure awaits within the walls of a 15th century castle

One of the only festivals to be set within the walls of a 15th century castle, Romania's Electric Castle is a festival that incorporates music, technology, art installations and performing arts in a five day hedonistic adventure. The second announcement sees Deadmau5, Duke Dumont, House of Pain, Slaves, Atari Teenage Riot, Tommy Cash alongside Trentemøller, Maceo Plex, Eats Everything, MJ Cole plus more added to the bill. With seven stages to fill, Electric Castle will see over 130,000 people gather in this iconic location for one of Europe's few 24 hour festivals. Beyond the music, revellers will be able to experience a huge food offering, barber shop, yoga classes, cinema, fashion corner and much more. The festival takes place from 12th - 16th July and tickets start at an incredibly affordable £68 via Festicket. Further information can be found via the Electric Castle website here.

Electric Castle is a unique experience, shaking up the way people interact with music, technology and art. This visually stunning festival will feature 3D projections, secret party areas along side a tech park hosting the latest gadgets for party goers to experience for free. New this year, Electric Castle will feature various TEDx Talks during the day with standup comedy sessions, street theatre and music production workshops on a new performing arts stage.

For 2017 all the camping facilities will be enhanced for a better all round camping experience. Beyond bringing a tent, festival-goers can choose from three extra options including pre-pitched tents, dream tents and Swedish lodges featuring wood cabins for four people.

Returning bigger and better than ever before, the festival will also grow with two ‘big top’ covered tents. With a 24 hour music policy, art installations, performance art and TEDx Talks plus an untold amount of food vendors, Electric Castle provides an experience like no other festival out there. 2017's event will be the biggest yet welcoming over 130,000 revellers all tucked inside the walls of a 15th century castle.
