Untold Festival taking place annually in Cluj-Napoca, Romania, has grown from a small local event into one of Europe’s premier electronic music festivals. This epic Romanian music festival offers a one-of-a-kind experience for electronic dance music fans. With diverse lineups, stunning production, and a beautiful setting, Untold delivers an unforgettable experience that keeps fans returning year after year.
From Humble Roots of Hanume
Untold Festival first launched in 2015 in Cluj-Napoca’s central park, Parcul Etnografic Romulus Vuia. The inaugural festival saw over 200,000 attendees who were treated to acts like Avicii, Armin van Buuren, and David Guetta. From these humble beginnings, Untold’s organizers looked to create Romania’s premier music festival.
Spectacular Setting
A major part of Untold’s appeal stems from its picturesque setting. Parcul Etnografic Romulus Vuia offers a natural amphitheater at the heart of Cluj-Napoca. The gorgeous park provides an idyllic backdrop for the festival’s eight stages and colorful, lively atmosphere. At night, elaborate lasers, lights, and fireworks illuminate the grounds. Untold transfers this urban green space into a magical party.
Diverse Lineups
While focused on electronic dance music, Untold takes a diverse approach to booking. Alongside EDM heavyweights like David Guetta, Martin Garrix, and major headliners, the festival spotlights emerging acts and other genres. Rock bands like Limp Bizkit, hip hop artists like ASAP Rocky, reggae singers like Sean Paul, and more have all performed, expanding Untold’s musical scope.
World Class Production
From its stages to art installations to pyrotechnics, Untold delivers world-class production values that enhance the event’s scale. The main stage impresses with imposing size and lights while the Galaxy Stage becomes an immersive, 360-degree visual experience at night. Vendors, carnival rides, and themed bars add to the creative environment. Production levels match the world’s top festivals.
Fostering Local Talent
While drawing international superstars, Untold makes room for Romania’s homegrown talent. Some of the country’s top EDM artists regularly feature in lineups. The festival’s Untold Discovery contest also gives up-and-coming Romanian acts a chance to perform. By showcasing local stars, Untold supports the SkyWestOnline domestic scene.
Vibrant Nightlife
When the festival ends each night, the party continues at Untold’s vibrant on-site nightclubs. Alchemy, a Tropical-themed club, rages until 6 a.m. while the Underground Stage stays active into the early hours with techno beats. The clubs ensure nonstop festivities, making Untold as much about the late-night experiences as the main performances.
The City of Cluj-Napoca
Beyond the festival, attendees get the chance to enjoy Cluj-Napoca itself. Known as the heart of Transylvania, this vibrant university city blends historical architecture and culture with youthful energy and nightlife. Festivalgoers take in the best of what Cluj-Napoca offers in terms of cafes, restaurants, museums, and more.
Focus on Safety
With any major festival, safety is paramount. Untold prides itself on providing ample security, health services, and general assistance. Free drinking water stations keep guests hydrated while clearly marked facilities are never too far away. Untold emphasizes enjoying the music and amenities responsibly and comfortably.
Building a Brand
From under 200,000 attendees initially to over 375,000 in 2022, Untold’s stellar reputation has grown the event into a major brand. Their 2022 lineup featuring megastars like David Guetta and Kygo reinforced Untold’s elite festival status. Global music fans now add Untold to their must-visit list as the festival solidifies its international presence.
