Lose yourself in the seductive visuals of Festival Forte in Portugal

The castle festival runs from August 24 to 26

Festival Forte is returning for a fourth year, with Danny Daze, Jeff Mills and Dasha Rush among the line-up.

It returns to Castle of Montemor-o-Velho in Portugal from August 24 to 26. Other names playing include Peder Mannerfelt, Nathan Fake, Ron Morelli and Kompakt co-owner Michael Mayer.

The press releases reads: "Prepare to be seduced by darkly beautiful, restless visuals, immersive audiovisual performance and large-scale generative artworks in one of the most spectacular locations in the world.

"Enter a 360-degree festival experience, spiraling and spinning out of control, where boundaries between performance and audience coincide and explode."

Lydia Lunch, Mia Zabelka and Zahra Mani will open the festival, said to be "reminiscent of a murder mystery or a hypnotic late night tale".

Jaygo Bloom and Olga Studios will be responsible for the visuals across the three days.
