Bring Me The Horizon and Queens Of The Stone Age are among the first names for Transylvania’s 24-hour music festival, Electric Castle.

The two bands will headline next year’s event – which takes place from July 17 – 21, 2024 at the 15th-century Bánffy Castle in Transylvania, Romania – alongside Massive Attack and Chase & Status Live.

Elsewhere, other names announced today are DJ Shadow, Khruangbin, Sleaford Mods, Marc Rebillet, Bonobo (DJ set), Jayda G, Kenya Grace and Genesis Owusu, plus Shaq aka DJ Diesel.

Next year’s festival is the 10th anniversary of Electric Castle, and it promises to be another full-on party, as it’s one of Europe’s ‘few truly 24-hour festivals’ with round-the-clock music and entertainment.
