Rema, the Nigerian artist who convinced the whole world to rediscover Afrobeat rhythms, completes the line-up announced for Electric Castle 2024. Along with Massive Attack, Bring Me The Horizon, Queens of The Stone Age, Chase and Status, Sean Paul and Paolo Nutini, Rema will be present on the main stage of the festival, between July 17 and 21.

With 57 consecutive weeks in the Billboard Hot 100, an absolute record for one of the most important charts in the music industry, "Calm Down" was the unmissable hit on the dance floors in 2023. Rema thus became the first African artist which crossed the 1 billion

Spotify mark, and the song managed to challenge the whole world to discover a complex artist and a

new creative direction in Afrobeat music. His debut album Rave & Roses Ultra bears the imprint of

Nigerian music, but is full of influences from trap, electro and even jazz, a style that Rema defines as

afrorave and which has convinced personalities like Barrack Obama to recommend his tracks. Rema,

the sensation afrobeat, joins Electric Castle 2024 line-up artists (2)

The show scheduled for Electric Castle will include all of the artist's hits, from "Dumebi" to "Iron Man" and

"Soundgasm", but Rema is increasingly mentioning new projects with big names in American rap, which

would come next to materialize in the near future. With a bit of luck, Romanian fans will have the chance

to listen to them live at the festival.

Electric Castle also confirms Ricardo Villalobos, one of the most influential producers on the minimal-

techno scene. At the forefront of electronic music for over 20 years, Villalobos is inventive, flamboyant,

very little interested in success, but obsessed with discovering new approaches to music. The DJ who

imposed a surprising level of subtlety in the electro style will be present on the Dance Garden Stage,

along with the other 35 artists proposed in the Sunrise Takeover.

The date of April 24 a.c. is the last day on which Electric Castle subscriptions can still be purchased at

the price of 139 Euros (plus taxes). The complete list of artists present at Electric Castle 2024, all types

of subscriptions available and accommodation options in the festival campsite can be found at

The Electric Castle Team launches The

world we dream of:

10 years of Electric Castle in 5 minutes |

Short movie

Artists, music, boots, tornado, friends, (too few) buses, fun and, of course, rain and mud. Electric Castle is about all that and more. The festival that never wanted to be perfect reaches 10 years of existence, which it evokes in a short film released today.

Having reached its 10th edition, the festival team outlines a conclusion: it only takes a village to create a world to dream of for a whole year. After a decade of adventures that they would not have anticipated even in the most creative scenarios, the organizers chose to look back, without regrets, and

the result is a video material that reveals unique situations in the history of the festival.

Electric Castle – short film

"Building a festival like Electric Castle from scratch means leaving your comfort zone. Equipment that

disappears just when you need it, artists that you break up with only to get back together, even a small

tornado - these are the parts that no one takes into account when starting a festival. You go on, gripped

by Bonțida fever, and you find solutions. You know that you are not alone, but you are with all those who

dream, like you, of a different world", says Tudor Costinaș, Head of Communications Electric Castle.

With 40 days to go before the 2024 edition, the first 1,000 people who will be on the Banffy field 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.
