Limp Bizkit, sombr, 5SOS and Joey Valence & Brae confirmed for Electric Castle 2027

In a world where musical boundaries between genres are becoming increasingly blurred and generations borrow their idols from one another, Electric Castle is the festival bold enough to bring artists from entirely different musical worlds together on the same line-up: Limp Bizkit, sombr, 5 Seconds of Summer (5SOS), Noisia and Joey Valence & Brae are heading to Bonțida from July 15 to 18, 2027.

L, I, M, P Bizkit is right here! How eagerly that line will be anticipated at Electric Castle in 2027! Fred Durst & team, aka Limp Bizkit, are returning to the festival, and “Rollin’” is just one of the hits set to spark a massive mosh pit in front of the main stage. The band that played an essential role in popularising the nu metal genre seems more relevant than ever, with its anti-censorship and anti-establishment messages. “Still Sucks”, the band’s latest album, proves they have lost none of their appetite for bringing together both the generation that embraced “Break Stuff” as its anthem and younger fans who find in their music a form of therapy for everyday frustrations, along with some surprising cultural references.

Headlining EC 2027, sombr (Shane Boose) has gone from being a singer-songwriter who went viral on TikTok to a Grammy-nominated alt-pop artist, followed by a sold-out tour, in just a few short years. And all this at just 21 years old. For Sombr, every major achievement seems to be just preparation for another leap towards even greater success. The singles “Back to Friends” and “Undressed” propelled him into the spotlight, while his debut album, I Barely Know Her, released in 2025, earned him numerous awards and nominations, enthusiastic praise from Taylor Swift, and a record-breaking 17 million streams on its first day of release. Just like everywhere else in the world, tens of thousands of fans will be eagerly awaiting him at Electric Castle, hoping for a second album and a one-of-a-kind performance on the main stage.

5 Seconds of Summer (5SOS) is one of Australia’s biggest musical success stories, which is quite an achievement in itself. The world first discovered them opening for One Direction, and they have since built an international career spanning more than a decade. For any pop fan, it is almost impossible not to have heard the global hit “Youngblood” at least once, or one of the tracks from their three consecutive albums that topped the Billboard 200. Electric Castle will host 5SOS for their first-ever performance in Romania, at the most creatively exciting stage in the band’s history, far removed from the boy band label that followed them for so long. Their sound has evolved into a much more rock-oriented direction, layered with dance and electro influences, turning their live performances into an explosion of energy. It’s a show not to be missed from July 15 to 18, at the festival’s 13th edition.

They know all about “Punk Tactics”, hip-hop, hardcore and EDM, and their mission is to make sure we never get bored of musical experimentation: Joey Valence & Brae are returning to Electric Castle in 2027, ready to unleash a little chaos in front of the Hangar stage. More mature, but not necessarily wiser, the duo will bring tracks from HYPERYOUTH (afterparty), released in 2026, along with the same straightforward philosophy about live shows: “A great show is one where you dance, sweat and make at least one new friend”.

Nominated for the Best Major Festival title 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 is treating its fans to Noisia. The Dutch trio is reuniting after a seven-year hiatus and is ready to reaffirm its reputation as one of the most innovative and influential acts in the history of modern bass music and neurofunk.

More artists joining the Electric Castle line-up will be announced soon. In the meantime, festival passes for the 2027 edition are available at special prices at www.electriccastle.ro.
