The story

UNTOLD Festival in Cluj-Napoca

UNTOLD Festival is a major electronic and dance music festival held each summer at Cluj Arena in Cluj-Napoca, founded in 2015. Known for elaborate stage production and a dramatic opening ceremony involving fire and pyrotechnics, it has grown into one of Europe's largest festivals, repeatedly recognized at the European Festival Awards.

When UNTOLD launched in 2015, Cluj-Napoca already had a growing reputation as a Romanian festival city thanks to the Transilvania International Film Festival and Electric Castle, but UNTOLD arrived with a different ambition: to build one of Europe's largest electronic and dance music festivals from scratch, anchored not in a castle or a park but in the stadium grounds of Cluj Arena.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

UNTOLD distinguishes itself through production scale rather than a niche musical identity: its stages are built around elaborate lighting, pyrotechnics, and stage design that organizers treat as a core part of the show rather than a backdrop to the lineup, most visibly in its opening ceremony, which typically stages a symbolic story through fire, light, and effects before the first headline act

02

The mystery stays covered

The lineup draws top international DJs and electronic acts alongside pop and hip-hop names, giving it a broader commercial reach than festivals built purely around underground dance music, which has helped it win Best Major Festival and similar honors at the European Festival Awards multiple times since its founding
