Stray Lights Festival 2026 | Control Club

This is not a festival built around trends, algorithms or background entertainment.
It is a space for discovery and connection.

Born from the Stray Lights collective and Romania’s growing alternative underground, the festival brings together post-punk, noise rock, experimental, ambient and genre-defying music for three days inside Control Club in Bucharest.

It’s a gathering for people searching for music that challenges them, moves them and stays with them even after the lights go off.
