At a time when musical genres are increasingly difficult to define and generations are rediscovering each other’s favourite artists, Electric Castle continues to bring together acts from vastly different musical worlds. Limp Bizkit, sombr, Noisia, Joey Valence & Brae and 5 Seconds of Summer (5SOS) are the first artists confirmed for the festival’s 13th edition, taking place from July 15–18, 2027, at Bánffy Castle in Transylvania.

L, I, M, P Bizkit is right here! Few lyrics will be more eagerly anticipated at Electric Castle 2027. Fred Durst and Limp Bizkit are returning to the festival to set off some massive mosh pits in front of the main stage. One of the bands responsible for bringing nu metal into the mainstream, Limp Bizkit seem more relevant than ever, with their anti-censorship, anti-establishment attitude resonating with a new generation. Their latest album, “Still Sucks”, proves they have lost none of their appetite for bringing audiences together, from the generation that made ‘Break Stuff’ an anthem to younger fans who find an outlet for everyday frustrations, along with unexpected cultural references, in their music.

sombr (Shane Boose), another Electric Castle 2027 headliner, has gone from a singer-songwriter finding viral success on TikTok to a Grammy-nominated alt-pop artist with a sold-out tour, all in just a few years. And he is only 21. For sombr, every major achievement seems to be a stepping stone towards something even bigger. Singles ‘Back to Friends’ and ‘Undressed’ propelled him into the spotlight, while his 2025 debut album, “I Barely Know Her”, earned him numerous awards and nominations, enthusiastic praise from Taylor Swift, and an impressive 17 million streams on its first day of release. As with his performances around the world, tens of thousands of fans are expected to welcome him to Electric Castle for a memorable show on the festival’s main stage.

5 Seconds of Summer (5SOS) are one of Australia’s biggest musical success stories, no small achievement for a country with such a remarkable history of exporting global stars. First introduced to international audiences as the opening act for One Direction, the band has since built a worldwide career spanning more than a decade, including their global hit ‘Youngblood’ and three consecutive Billboard 200 No. 1 albums. Electric Castle will host 5SOS for their first-ever performance in Romania, at what is arguably the most creatively exciting stage of their career. Having long outgrown the boy-band label that followed them in their early years, the group has developed a more rock-driven sound, layered with dance and electronic influences. The result is an explosive live show, and one of the performances not to be missed at the festival’s 13th edition, July 15–18, 2027.

They know everything about ‘Punk Tactics’, hip-hop, hardcore and EDM, but have little interest in sticking to musical boundaries. Joey Valence & Brae return to Electric Castle in 2027, ready to stir up some chaos at the Hangar stage once again. Older, but not necessarily wiser, the duo is bringing tracks from their 2026 release “Hyperyouth (afterparty)”, along with their simple philosophy on live shows: “A great gig is one where you dance, sweat and make at least one new friend.”

Nominated for Best Major Festival at the European Festival Awards for the seventh time, and a finalist at the UK Festival Awards for the second time, where it was named Best International Festival in 2025, Electric Castle has another major announcement for electronic music fans: Noisia. The influential Dutch group are reuniting as a trio after seven-years apart, ready to reaffirm their reputation as one of the most innovative and influential acts in the history of modern bass music.
