Katlan Festival

On July 11, the vast industrial halls of Arzenál will open their doors to the special edition of Katlan Festival, igniting a three-day celebration of techno and underground music that echoes the spirit of its legendary quarry origins.

Set in a former weapons factory with a raw, brutalist aesthetic, Arzenál becomes the new stage for Katlan’s unmistakable atmosphere—complete with immersive visuals and that deep, magnetic energy fans have come to expect from its original home in Tárnok.

This year’s lineup is as heavy as ever: Yousuke Yukimatsu, Kobosil, Novah, Trym, Onlynumbers, Somewhen, Dyen, Afem Syko, Cassie Raptor, Japau, D|K|OXY, Parapher, Ma Cka, MMCCCXCIX—and more names still to be revealed. During the day, outdoor programs will bring music into unexpected urban and natural landscapes, blending concrete and nature in true Katlan style. As night falls, the sound and light shows take over Arzenál’s interiors, transforming the space into a pulsating ritual of rhythm and visual spectacle.

Though the Tárnok Quarry is temporarily closed, the intensity of Katlan remains unchanged. Arzenál’s monumental structure provides the perfect canvas to reimagine the festival’s core aesthetic. Meanwhile, organizers are also planning additional Katlan nights later in the summer at exclusive venues, including a long-anticipated session in the iconic Gánt bauxite mine. Daily tickets will be available soon, with even more headliners expected to be announced in the lead-up to the weekend.

The message is clear: Katlan doesn’t stop—it adapts. From July 11–13, Arzenál becomes the meeting point of sound, industry, and nature. This is more than just a music event; it’s a shared experience designed for those who crave the raw, immersive edge of the underground. Come day or night, it’s a journey into something unforgettable.
