Hungary's INOTA Festival is preparing for its return in 2025, promising an even more expansive audiovisual experience at its unique venue: a former industrial power plant. Building on its success as Hungary's largest festival outside Budapest, INOTA transforms the industrial complex into a vibrant exhibition space for contemporary art and music.
The festival will showcase a diverse lineup of international artists. From Denmark, Kasper Marott will bring his club music selections, while MARRON and Woody92 from the Netherlands will represent genres rooted in Suriname's history and fast-paced leftfield dance music, respectively. Canadian ambient artist Loscil and New York-based James K will offer more introspective soundscapes.
Electronic music enthusiasts can anticipate performances from trance artists like Alpha Tracks and DINA, Farseer from Australia, and Argentina's Gaston Fiore. Brazil's KiLLATK will blend hi-tech psytrance with anarchist energy, and Pneumatix and Acidpach will represent the free party scene.
Beyond the music, INOTA is renowned for its impressive visual art. Over twenty light and visual art installations from seven countries have been featured, including site-specific works designed for the power plant's unique structures like cooling towers and turbine halls. The festival's organizers envision the former power plant evolving into a long-term cultural and community hub, integrating artistic projects with daily cultural and social programs while retaining the site's industrial heritage.
