About

THE CASTLE 2025 is ready to cast its spell over Zurich from May 15 to 17, as the Swiss National Museum (Landesmuseum) opens its historic grounds for three days of open-air electronic music. Presented by Naturklang Bookings, this distinctive event brings together the energy of house and techno with the elegance and depth of one of Switzerland’s most culturally significant landmarks.

Spanning across three evenings, the lineup features an expertly curated selection of international artists known for pushing sonic boundaries. Kicking off on Thursday, the evocative sounds of Bob Moses will set the tone, joined by a powerful B2B from DESIREE and local favorite Jimi Jules. Friday promises intensity and artistry as Maceo Plex and Mind Against join forces for a collaborative set, while Joseph Capriati adds his signature touch to the night. Saturday closes the weekend with PAWSA’s infectious grooves and the refined selections of Silvie Loto.

Held within the storied architecture of the Landesmuseum, THE CASTLE transforms the venue into a living, breathing soundscape — a rare opportunity to experience world-class electronic music in a setting steeped in history. The music festival opens from 17:00 to 23:00 on Thursday and from 16:00 to 23:00 on both Friday and Saturday, aligning perfectly with golden hour vibes and Zurich’s sophisticated evening mood.

With an age limit of 22+, THE CASTLE is tailored for a more mature crowd seeking something beyond the usual festival format — a place where music, culture, and atmosphere intertwine. Whether you’re coming for the music, the venue, or the vibe, this is one Zurich experience not to be missed.
