THE COUNTDOWN IS OVER – BANJALUKA WELCOMES THE NEW "FRESHWAVE"

The wait is over, the countdown has ended! From August 7th to 9th, the iconic Kastel Fortress in Banja Luka transforms into the epicenter of top-tier music, adrenaline, and unforgettable experiences. Everything is set for three days of Freshwave Festival, a celebration that continues to push boundaries and bring together some of the biggest global and regional music acts.

With five festival stages, more than 70 performers, and world-class production, Freshwave 2025 promises to deliver the very best of the summer festival season. Headlining the main stage are global superstars like Nicole Moudaber, Kobosil, Pablo Bozzi, Pavel Petrov, and Aiden. Joining them are regional heavyweights such as Vojko V, Hiljson Mandela, Beogradski Sindikat, Bad Copy, Prti Bee Gee, Krankšvester, Siniša Tamamović, Mladen Tomić, Gipsy Soul, Forest People, and many others.

“Over the past 12 editions, we’ve set high standards—but Freshwave 2025 surpasses everything we’ve done so far. We’ve brought in the biggest names in global music, paired them with regional leaders, and wrapped it all into an unforgettable festival experience. We believe our audience deserves only the best—and that’s exactly what awaits them starting tomorrow,” said Minja Šuković, PR representative for Freshwave Festival.

But Freshwave isn’t just about music—it’s an immersive experience that blends culture, entertainment, unity, and non-stop rhythm. Each stage tells its own story, every artist brings their unique energy, and Kastel Fortress once again becomes a festival city under the open sky.

The festival opens with the Red Bull FMX Jam, an adrenaline-packed motocross show kicking off on August 7th at 8 PM. Featuring acrobatics, pyrotechnics, light effects, and extreme freestyle stunts by world-class motocross riders, this spectacular event will unfold within the historic fortress walls. Children under 14 can attend for free until 7:30 PM when accompanied by an adult with a valid ticket.

Tickets are still available at kupikartu.ba and all physical ticket outlets.
