Electric Castle 2024: A Record-Breaking Festival of Music, Community, and Unforgettable Experiences

Electric Castle 2024, a highly anticipated festival, successfully concluded at Banffy Domain in Bonțida, attracting a record-breaking 274,000 attendees over the course of its 10th edition. Known for its vibrant atmosphere and eclectic music selection, this year’s festival provided an unforgettable experience for festival-goers, living up to its reputation as one of Romania’s premier music festivals.

The festival kicked off with a warm welcome and hundreds of liters of water distributed for free to keep attendees hydrated as they enjoyed the wide array of activities and performances. From the first day, the festival buzzed with energy, as more than 34,000 participants chose Electric Castle as their prime destination. Despite the heat, which only added to the lively festival ambiance, the attendees danced under both sun and shade, and the evening festivities were extended thanks to timely rain—a nod to the festival’s tradition.

By Thursday, all stages were fully operational, ready to host headliners such as REMA, who brought a fresh energy shortly after the release of his new album HEIS. The Hangar stage was packed from the first night and continued to draw large crowds with performances from heavy metal veterans Cavalera, post-punk band Lebanon Hanover, and Canadian rapper Night Lovell.

The momentum continued into Friday, with the arrival of five trucks loaded with equipment for the Bring Me The Horizon concert, one of the most anticipated shows of the festival. The British band, a favorite among Electric Castle attendees, saw the largest number of mosh pits ever recorded at the festival. The band returned for the third time, celebrating a new album and delivering one of the year’s best rock performances.
