Untold Festival has announced its return in 2026, taking place from August 6th to 9th. In this announcement, they stated that Cluj-Napoca, Romania, the festival’s home for the last 10 years, will continue to be so.
Just a few months ago, Tiesto blew the audience away with a unique set curated specifically for Untold. He even incorporated traditional Romanian music into his set. This spectacular marathon set lasted three hours and had the crowd dancing until 4:00 am.
Armin Van Burren took the stage the following day, giving the crowd an unforgettable three and a half hour set packed with emotion. At one point, he had to promise himself he wouldn’t cry. He waved the Romanian flag proudly while walking up and down the stage and later handed it to a fan to show his love for his supporters.
Untold also featured surprise performances, including an amazing set from Bosnian-Swedish DJ, Salvatore Ganacci. The main stage was designed to look like a pub during his set, bringing an exciting atmosphere.
Brazilian DJ Alok brought a deeper artistic touch to the festival. His set featured his “Keep Art Human” show. This carried a message about the importance of keeping art human by not allowing artificial intelligence to take over creative fields because “art is not art without soul.” To bring that vision to life, he incorporated a multitude of live dancers on stage. This created a powerful mix of sound and movement in order to spread his message.
