WORLD-RENOWNED STARS TO PERFORM AT KASTEL FORTRESS THIS AUGUST

BANJA LUKA – French producer Sébastien Léger and Scottish DJ Denis Sulta have been announced as the latest headline acts for the 14th edition of Freshwave Festival, which will take place from August 6 to 8 at the historic Kastel Fortress in Banja Luka.

The two internationally acclaimed artists, both regulars at some of the world's biggest festivals and clubs, will lead this year's electronic music lineup, bringing together different generations and styles of the global dance scene.

Sébastien Léger has spent more than three decades building a reputation as one of electronic music's most original and respected producers. Known for his performances at festivals such as Tomorrowland and Coachella, as well as his spectacular Cercle set filmed in front of the Pyramids of Giza, Léger has earned worldwide recognition for his hypnotic performances, melodic sound, and uncompromising artistic vision.

Through his own record label, Lost Miracle, he has created a distinctive musical identity that blends emotion, groove, and sophisticated production, making him one of the most influential names in the melodic house and techno scene. Rather than following trends, Léger has consistently set them, crafting DJ sets that tell immersive musical stories instead of simply playing a collection of hits.

Joining him is one of the brightest stars of the new generation of house and techno artists. Denis Sulta has risen from working in a local record store to performing on the world's most prestigious stages in just a few years.

Supported early in his career by artists such as Four Tet, Ben UFO, and Annie Mac, Sulta quickly gained international recognition, while his Boiler Room performances, viewed millions of times online, confirmed his status as one of the most exciting DJs of his generation.

His energetic performances, unpredictable track selection, and seamless fusion of house, techno, disco, and euphoric melodies have made him a regular guest at world-famous events including Circoloco, Time Warp, Awakenings, and Panorama Bar.

The arrival of Léger and Sulta further strengthens this year's festival concept, "Enter the Nexus," which aims to blur the boundaries between musical genres, generations, and scenes, creating a unique festival experience.

In addition to its electronic music program, Freshwave has also completed its Live Stage lineup, featuring some of the region's biggest acts. Festival-goers can also look forward to performances by Grše, Buč Kesidi, Zoster, Let 3, Vojko V, Z++, and Elemental, highlighting the festival's tradition of combining international electronic artists with leading regional performers.

For fourteen years, Freshwave Festival has successfully connected world-class electronic music with the regional live music scene, transforming Kastel Fortress into a gathering place for thousands of visitors from Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Balkans, and across Europe.

From August 6 to 8, Banja Luka will once again become a meeting point where music, people, and energy come together, proving why Freshwave remains one of Southeast Europe's most distinctive summer festivals.
