The first five confirmed artists are Limp Bizkit, 5 Seconds of Summer, sombr, Noisia and Joey Valence & Brae.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Limp Bizkit, 5 Seconds of Summer and Joey Valence & Brae are scheduled for Friday 16 July.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
sombr and Noisia are confirmed for Saturday 17 July.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
More artists are still to be announced, so this remains an early lineup rather than a completed programme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Limp Bizkit provide one of the strongest headline bookings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The American band helped bring nu metal into mainstream popularity with albums including Significant Other and Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Songs such as Break Stuff, Rollin’ and My Generation remain recognisable alternative music favourites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Their return to Electric Castle will give the festival a major rock and metal audience alongside its electronic music following.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Australian band 5 Seconds of Summer are another important booking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The group have built a global career with songs including She Looks So Perfect, Youngblood and Teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Their Electric Castle appearance is expected to mark their first performance in Romania.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That gives the festival an unusually strong pop-rock booking alongside Limp Bizkit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Noisia are arguably the most interesting booking for electronic music fans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The influential Dutch electronic group helped shape modern drum and bass and bass music with their intricate production and sound design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Their reunion as a trio after several years apart makes the Electric Castle appearance particularly significant. Kerrang!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
