Summer Well Festival is back for its 14th edition, bringing its blend of music, art, and atmosphere to the lush grounds of Știrbey Domain in Buftea, just outside Bucharest.
From August 8 to 10, 2025, music lovers will gather once again for what’s become one of Bucharest’s most beloved and stylish music festivals.
Summer Well has built a cult following for its unique vibe: it’s cool without being pretentious, stylish but relaxed, where art installations meet neon-lit forest paths, and music echoes across the lakeside grounds late into the night.
It’s not just about the music. It’s about slowing down, connecting, and soaking up the last golden days of summer. Expect art corners, food markets, fashion pop-ups, and beautifully curated spaces designed to surprise and inspire at every turn.
Headliners Artists: Summer Well Festival 2025
The first headliners are already making waves! 🙂
After more than two decades of shaping the alternative rock landscape, Snow Patrol will finally take the stage in Romania for the first time, and there’s no better moment than Summer Well 2025. The Northern Irish-Scottish band is known for their emotionally charged lyrics, powerful live shows, and timeless songs that hit you right in the heart.
From global hits like „Chasing Cars”, „Run”, and „Open Your Eyes”, to more recent, introspective tracks, Snow Patrol’s music walks the line between indie vulnerability and stadium-sized emotion. Their ability to create quiet, intimate moments and soaring anthems in the same set makes them such an unforgettable live experience.
Over the years, they’ve sold millions of albums, received Grammy and BRIT nominations, and performed on some of the world’s biggest stages. Now, they bring their signature sound to Romania, an experience that’s sure to be a highlight of the festival.
If you’ve never seen Empire of the Sun live before, prepare for a show that’s as much visual fantasy as it is musical performance. The Australian electro-pop duo, made up of Luke Steele and Nick Littlemore, is famous for their extravagant costumes, surreal stage design, and futuristic sound that blends synth-pop, glam rock, and a touch of sci-fi mystique.
Their breakout hit „Walking on a Dream” put them on the global map, followed by festival anthems like „We Are the People”, „Alive”, and „Standing on the Shore”.
With over 1 billion streams and countless festival appearances across Coachella, Lollapalooza, and Glastonbury, Empire of the Sun create a full sensory experience that transcends genre.
Summer Well is all about great music in a laid-back, creative atmosphere. Think art installations, food trucks, light shows, and dancing barefoot on the grass. If you’ve never been, this might just be the year to go. If you have, you already know: it’s one of those weekends you’ll talk about all year long.
