The World We Dream Of: 10 Years of Electric Castle in 5 Minutes

Artists, music, boots, tornadoes, friends, (too few) buses, fun, and, of course, rain and mud. Electric Castle is about all this and much more. The festival that never aimed to be perfect reaches its 10th anniversary, celebrated in a short film released today.

As it reaches its 10th edition, the festival team has drawn a conclusion: it only takes a village to create a world you can dream about all year long. After a decade of adventures that they wouldn’t have anticipated even in the most creative scenarios, the organizers have chosen to look back without regrets. The result is a video that reveals unique situations from the festival’s history.

“Building a festival like Electric Castle from scratch means stepping out of your comfort zone. Equipment disappearing just when you need it, artists you part ways with only to reconcile again, even a small tornado – these are the things no one considers when starting a festival. You keep going, driven by Bonțida fever, and find solutions. You know you’re not alone; you have everyone who dreams, just like you, of a different world by your side,” says Tudor Costinaș, Head of Communications for Electric Castle.

With 40 days before the 2024 edition, the first 1,000 people who will be at Banffy Domain are already known. They are the ones who will be part of the festival team, ready to build again from the ground up the space where Massive Attack, Bring Me The Horizon, Queens of The Stone Age, Chase and Status, Rema, Sean Paul, Ricardo Villalobos, Paolo Nutini, and Khruangbin will discover Bonțida, a unique audience, and the world that thousands of fans proudly call their favorite festival.
