At Castlefest 2025 @rastabanmusic treated us to a profound sound experience, being faithful to their dark/pagan folk roots on one side while exploring a more industrial and metal sound. The result? We were mesmerised. by @castlefest

🇳🇱 Castlefest Academy Panel‘Fantasy vs. Facts’ door GamekingsZwaarden, kastelen, draken en elfen. Kun je je een meer typisch scenario voor een fantasygame voorstellen? De basis van games is ongetwijfeld gebouwd op feiten uit de middeleeuwen. Maar om de een of andere reden wordt er altijd een vleugje verwondering en magie aan het recept toegevoegd om boeiende games te maken.Daan en Jelle van Gamekings leiden een interactief panel samen met een mediëvist en een game-ontwikkelaar om het fascinerende snijvlak tussen geschiedenis en fantasy in videogames te verkennen.Verwacht debat, verrassingen en een paar ontkrachte mythes. Ontdek meer op onze website (link in bio) by @castlefest

#ThrowbackThursday: Last year @dikanda_music was back at the Castlefest stages and oh how they treated us to their wonderful Balkan and Gypsy infused music. They took us on a journey through ethnic sounds, zestful moments full of charisma, energy and true feelings. We surely felt it! by @castlefest

Heading to the campsite with your camping gear Do you need help carrying your bagage? During Castlefest 2026, we’re offering the option to call in reinforcements. You’re allowed to bring someone without a ticket onto the campsite to help you carry your belongings.You can find out exactly how it works on our website (link in bio!)Last year, we ran a trial with a bagage shuttle service. Your feedback and our own evaluations showed that there were many challenges with the logistics and the quality of the service. We have explored and considered adjustments and alternatives, but we have been unable to find a suitable solution within our means. This means there will be no bagage shuttle service this year.Fortunately, together we can achieve more than we can alone. Not only do we have a fantastic Castlefest community where everyone is willing to lend a helping hand, but this year you’re also allowed to bring in reinforcements until 21.00h to help you get your tent fully Castlefest-ready. by @castlefest
