Do you know the band
Irfan
? No? Then, we advise you to go and listen to them as soon as possible!
Irfan’s music brings you an original electro-acoustic World Fusion influenced by the sacred and folk music traditions of the Balkans, Anatolia, Persia, the Middle East, North Africa and India, as well as by the musical and spiritual heritage of Byzantium, Medieval Europe and the Ancient Mediterranean.
Listening to this band will take you on a trip through time and mystic countries so you can dream, move your feet, belly dancing and smile.
And here is a little secret! Not only their music is amazing! The musicians themselves are pretty awesome and very sweet as well. Not to mention, very talented. Their collection of instruments they bring to the stage is impressive and apparently all are needed to make their uniquely beautiful sound.
Come to
Castlefest
(Friday, Saturday and Sunday) to experience this for yourself. Irfan will be on stage these three days so there is no reason on missing out.

Do you know the band Irfan?
- 09 Jul
It is insane how fast this band is going.

It is insane how fast this band is going. It was just the first half of 2017 when
Sunfire
played their first live shows. Now, a year later they play at so many festivals in Holland and internationally that you just cannot go to a festival without seeing this awesome band on stage.
With their mix of americana, blues, roots and fiddle folk, Sunfire’s Satria , Berend , Sophie , and Michel are putting down a solid sound of Western folk. The tunes are catchy and stick in your heard forever while the energy on stage will make you want to party. A deathly combination for every music lover in the world. You’ll get addicted.
Normally, watching a band like this should come with a warning: “Be aware, you’ll be likely to dance, sing along and you won’t get it out of your head!” However, right now, all we can say is, come to see Sunfire live!!!
Sunfire is playing tonight at the Zeeheldenfestival in The Hague, but that’s only one show. After you have seen them there, you can come to Castlefest and see them on the Friday and Saturday again!

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

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.
