The Transylvanian festival transforms a 17th-century castle into a five-day playground of music, madness and unexpected moments
By Dale Fox
Electric Castle has unveiled the final wave of artists for its 2025 edition – and it’s a whopper. Over 200 new names have just been added to the bill, including Yungblud, Rudimental (under new moniker RUDIMΞNTAL), Artemas, Róisín Murphy, Jayda G, and punk rockers Bad Nerves.
They join an already stacked lineup featuring Justin Timberlake, Queens of the Stone Age, Justice, Bicep (presenting their new CHROMA AV DJ set), Shaggy, Sofi Tukker and more. Set in the otherworldly grounds of Bánffy Castle in Transylvania, Electric Castle runs for five full days and nights from 16–20 July 2025, delivering 24-hour music across 10 stages.
Among the highlights of today’s announcement: Yungblud will open his headline slot with a live performance of his epic new nine-minute track ‘Hello, Heaven, Hello!’; RUDIMΞNTAL are promising a next-level, visual-heavy DJ set; and Artemas is set to bring viral hit ‘i like the way you kiss me’ to Romania for the first time. Róisín Murphy, meanwhile, brings her theatrical energy and disco classics to the mainstage, alongside material from her latest album Hit Parade.
On the electronic front, the lineup deepens with Jayda G, DJ Tennis, Anfisa Letyago, Brutalismus 3000, Fish56Octagon and more. Expect everything from acid and house to industrial techno and jungle, with Electric Castle famously being home to one of Europe’s only non-stop indoor club arenas.
Rock fans are sorted too, with Bad Nerves joining Refused, The Sisters of Mercy and Leprous, while the festival’s rap, trap and hip-hop contingent includes Young Nudy, Joey Valence & Brae, and Mexican reggaetón icon Rosa Pistola.
What makes Electric Castle different?
Electric Castle isn’t your typical stomp-about in a muddy field. It’s a full-scale takeover of a 17th-century castle and its surrounding grounds, reimagined with world-class production, design, and attention to detail. Each year, the site transforms into a dreamlike playground, complete with lakeside chillouts, late-night cinema, fashion pop-ups, sports arenas, art installations, spontaneous cookouts, and even hot air balloon rides.
The crowd? Warm, diverse, and all-in. The vibe? Somewhere between fairytale and futuristic. And whether you’re front row at a headline set, dancing in the forest till sunrise or drifting through a castle corridor at 3am, there’s a sense you’re part of something special…
