UNTOLD ONE (Cluj, Romania) 2026

About

As summer stretches over Transylvania, August 6–9, 2026, Cluj‑Napoca will once again pulse with life as UNTOLD ONE ushers in a new era for one of Europe’s most iconic electronic music festival. Set against the dramatic backdrop of the city and its surrounding landscapes, the festival promises a multi-day journey that blends cutting-edge music, immersive production, and a sense of community that spans the globe. Over four days, attendees will move between sprawling open-air stages, intimate performance zones, and spectacularly themed areas that transform the festival grounds into a living, breathing universe of sound, light, and narrative.

Last year’s edition set a formidable benchmark with artists like Armin van Buuren, Martin Garrix, David Guetta, Charlotte de Witte, Alok, Nervo, Steve Aoki, Eli Brown, and CamelPhat delivering career-defining sets across stages designed to awe and inspire. The 2026 lineup expands upon this foundation, with over 200 artists spanning EDM, house, techno, trance, drum & bass, dubstep, and select live pop and hip-hop sets, promising a spectrum of energy and emotion that will keep festival-goers dancing from afternoon until the early hours of morning. Special B2B collaborations, surprise sets, and underground talent are woven into the schedule, ensuring every corner of the festival offers discovery.

What sets UNTOLD ONE 2026 apart is not just its roster but the total sensory immersion it provides. Each stage features elaborate design concepts, from kinetic LED displays to holographic projections, synchronized water features, and interactive art installations. Storytelling elements thread through the festival experience, guiding attendees on a narrative journey that engages sight, sound, and even movement. Wellness and reflection spaces allow for brief respites, while culinary offerings celebrate both Romanian and international flavors, adding depth to the festival’s cultural tapestry.

The festival’s location in Cluj‑Napoca ensures seamless access via public transit, shuttle services, and nearby accommodations, including camping, glamping, and hotels. Sustainability remains central, with energy-conscious stages, waste reduction initiatives, and programs designed to leave a positive footprint on the local environment. UNTOLD 2026 is more than an electronic festival—it is a convergence of music, culture, and imagination, inviting every attendee to become part of a shared, unforgettable story that resonates long after the final beat fades.
