Freshwave Festival

Freshwave Festival 2026
6–8 August 🚀

Freshwave Festival is the leading electronic music festival in Bosnia and Herzegovina, held at the iconic Kastel Fortress in Banja Luka, one of the most unique festival locations in the Balkans.

Over the years, Freshwave has grown beyond electronic music. While it remains at its core, the festival now embraces a wider spectrum of genres, bringing together internationally acclaimed artists, regional names, and emerging talents.

Our vision is to become one of Southeast Europe's leading music festivals by creating unforgettable experiences that connect people through music, culture, and creativity. We showcase world-renowned performers while providing a platform for the next generation of artists.

This balance between established headliners and rising talent defines Freshwave Festival and makes it one of the region's most authentic music events.
