Overview
About
Electric Castle takes place in Bontida, near Cluj-Napoca, within the grounds of Bánffy Castle, a partly ruined 15th century fortress that forms the backdrop for the stages. Running over four days and nights, the lineup mixes electronic, rock, hip-hop and independent music without settling on a single dominant genre. The site includes a large on-site campground built as an extension of the festival.
