This throwback Thursday we are taking a step back to the year 2016 when
PerKelt
played at
Castlefest
for the first time.
Perkelt plays Celtic Medieval Speed Folk. And when they say “Speed” they mean fast, really fast!!! It is impressive. The energy this band shows is almost unrivalled.
Besides being awesome musicians they are also very sweet and so kind! From the big smiling
David
, the humbly laughing
Štěpán
to the ever lovely
Paya
, it is clear that they really enjoy being on stage and at festivals.
It is really awesome to see them back again this year at Castlefest. Come dance with us to their tunes on Thursday, Saturday and Sunday

We are taking a step back to the year 2016, Perkelt at Castlefest

Something in the middle of “a bunch of merry men” and “riff raff”
- 04 Jul
Rapalje, an old Dutch word meaning something in the middle of “a bunch of merry men” and “riff raff”, is a name that really does fit this band. When on stage they always seem to have their own version of organised chaos, resulting in a performance that is very typical of Rapalje and Rapalje alone!
At Castlefest on the Thursday, Rapalje Celtic Folk Music will certainly shoot their musical fire from the stage, so get ready to have a little flame started in your heart!

SeeD, the Faerie and Pagan folk band for Holland
- 02 Jul
The Faerie and Pagan folk band for Holland of this moment is,
SeeD Pagan Folk
. These friendly and talented musicians (
Koen
,
Sara
,
Robin
and
Lars
) write their own music. They draw inspiration from anything magical, including
Castlefest
and the fields of the Keukenhof that houses this beautiful festival.
With the songs of SeeD, you are taken into the mysterious world of the Ancient Fae, the modern world of dreams and passions in life. As these four musicians travel from festival to festival they tell the tales of the Faerie realms and make the audience dance like goblins!
All in all, there is a little awesome madness to this band that makes everybody smile, dance and feel happy. Even a bunch of crazy monks! ? So, wanna dance like a goblin as well? Want to lose yourself in the stories of the Fae with the tunes from SeeD? Want to feel happy and smile like the Cheshire Cat? Come to Castlefest! SeeD plays on Thursday and Saturday.
