Dozens of local and international artists will entertain the crowds at the special edition of Electric Castle, one of Romania's largest music festivals. EC_Special, scheduled for August 6-15, will take place in several locations in Bontida and Cluj-Napoca.

Sigma (DJ-set), Noisia (DJ-Set), DJ Marky, Eelke Kleijn, Ben Böhmer, Mind Against, David Penn, and HVOB are some of the artists that will take the stage at Bontida, the organizers announced, according to Libertatea.

Meanwhile, the stage in Cluj-Napoca's Unirii Square will offer, every evening, a mix of Romanian and foreign artists from various musical genres. The lineup includes Asaf Avidan, Aurora, Dubioza Kolektiv, Slowthai, Golan, and The Blaze.

Dozens of other artists remain to be discovered in the other locations in Cluj, among them Molchat Doma, Acid Pauli, and Igorrr, an "exotic" appearance on the metal music scene.
