The story

Gustar Music Festival in Orheiul Vechi

Gustar Music Festival, launched in 2010 as the first Moldovan festival staged in the natural amphitheater of Orheiul Vechi near Furceni, bills itself as the country's biggest music festival. The 2026 edition runs August 18 through 20 along the Raut River, featuring Ukraine's Eurovision-winning Kalush Orchestra alongside Moldovan artists, craft workshops and panoramic campground accommodation.

In 2010, Orheiul Vechi was known primarily as a natural and archaeological reserve, its chalk cliffs and cave monasteries drawing hikers and history visitors rather than concertgoers.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Gustar's claim to being Moldova's biggest music festival rests on both history and setting: launched in 2010, it was the first festival to bring full concert production into the natural amphitheater carved by Orheiul Vechi's landscape, establishing a precedent that shaped how later Moldovan festivals think about staging music in dramatic outdoor terrain

02

The mystery stays covered

Booking Kalush Orchestra, the Ukrainian act that won Eurovision, gives the 2026 lineup genuine international drawing power alongside its roster of Moldovan performers, a booking few domestic festivals can match

03

The city starts moving

Running a full three days, August 18 through 20, allows for a multi-day camping experience rather than a single-day event, with panoramic campground accommodation letting attendees wake up to views over the Raut River valley

04

The water draws everyone in

Craft workshops between performances add a daytime dimension beyond its evening concerts
