From August 7 to 9, the Kastel Fortress will host FreshWave, an event that brings together the biggest names in global electronic and regional urban music scenes.
With five festival stages, more than 70 performers, and a spectacular accompanying program, FreshWave 2025 promises three unforgettable days filled with top-tier music, adrenaline, and an atmosphere that lingers in memory.
Global techno star Nicole Moudaber, whose sets electrify the world’s biggest stages, will perform in Banja Luka for the first time.
Joining her is Berlin’s techno hero Kobosil with his energetic, dark sets, along with Pablo Bozzi, a master of retro-futuristic sound.
The lineup also includes Bulgarian DJ star Pavel Petrov and Aiden, a rising force in the techno scene known for his brilliant fusion of hardcore and industrial genres.
On the Live Stage, the most prominent names in regional hip-hop and trap will deliver scorching performances and nights to remember. Audiences can expect performances by Split-based rapper Vojko V, Zagreb’s trap sensation Hiljson Mandela, cult Belgrade groups Beogradski Sindikat and Bad Copy, the energetic Prti Bee Gee, and Osijek’s favorites Krankšvester.
Among the regional electronic music performers are DJs and producers Mladen Tomić, Nebs Jack, and Siniša Tamamović, as well as internationally acclaimed Gypsy Soul and Forest People, whose sets will elevate the festival energy even further.
What makes this year’s FreshWave stand out is its spectacular opening—Red Bull FMX Jam, a unique motocross event scheduled for August 7.
World-renowned freestyle motocross riders will thrill the audience with high-flying stunts, accompanied by dazzling lights, pyrotechnics, and powerful musical production.
Each of the five festival stages offers a unique atmosphere—from the massive main stage to more intimate zones like the River and Psy Trance stages—providing visitors with a complete experience of musical diversity and energy.
Tickets are still available at kupikartu.ba, but don’t wait too long—an unmissable spectacle is just around the corner.
