There are music festivals… and then there’s Inota Festival—a world where the past and future collide in an explosion of sound, light, and raw industrial beauty.
In 2023, Inota was born from the vision of the Budapest NVC collective and Centrum Production, with the mission to create Hungary’s largest audiovisual festival—a place where forward-thinking music meets cutting-edge light installations, monumental projections, and interactive art. The venue? The breathtaking Inota thermal power plant near Várpalota, a colossal relic of Hungary’s socialist industrial era.
And now, in 2025, it’s coming back—August 28–31—bigger, bolder, and even more electrifying.
A Setting Like No Other
The Inota power plant isn’t just a backdrop—it’s a co-star in the show. Towering cooling towers stand like guardians over the festival, their massive surfaces transformed into glowing canvases for light art and video mapping. Inside, cavernous turbine halls become cathedrals of sound, where every bass drop and synth echo reverberates through steel beams and concrete walls.
It’s not just about dancing—it’s about experiencing music in a place that feels alive with history and reimagined for the future.
A Soundtrack for Dreamers and Ravers Alike
In 2025, Inota’s lineup will once again push boundaries—bringing together:
- Boundary-pushing electronica for those who crave innovation in every beat
- Classic techno that feels raw, pure, and timeless
- New wave trance that lifts you into euphoria
- Rising stars of the rave scene, whose energy will keep you moving until the first rays of dawn
Previous editions have featured iconic names like Nils Frahm, Max Cooper, Daniel Avery, Overmono, and Ellen Allien—artists who blur the lines between live performance and art installation. Expect 2025 to deliver equally visionary acts.
Where Music Meets Visual Art
Inota isn’t just a music festival—it’s an immersive audiovisual wonderland. Light installations, 3D mappings, and contemporary visual works are often woven directly into performances, making every set a multi-sensory trip. One moment you’re in the middle of a pounding techno set, the next you’re surrounded by a living, shifting light sculpture that seems to dance along with you.
