Come take over the beautiful city of Cluj-Napoca in the heart of Transylvania from August 6-9, 2026. The festival has unleashed its massive lineup for the weekend. Boasting over 200 worldwide acts, eight stages, and deeply immersive activations, it’s shaping up to be one of the most essential festival stops of the summer.

UNTOLD’s legendary Mainstage stacks itself with heavy hitters like Martin Garrix, Kygo, The Chainsmokers, Marshmello, Lost Frequencies, Zara Larsson, Lewis Capaldi, and Sting. Now, the festival is dialing up the energy by adding four massive global names of Alan Walker, MEDUZA, Tchami, Tujamo, and more. From future house anthems to stadium-shaking bass, these additions ensure the Mainstage will be pumping non-stop energy to what is widely considered the best crowd in the world.

For the underground heads and bass lovers, the event is dropping some seriously heated additions for its specialized stages. Which stage will you choose? The sounds of the underground or getting bass in your face while dnb stepping to the greats?

• The Galaxy Stage (House & Techno): We already mentioned powerhouse acts like Carl Cox, Sara Landry, Mau P, and Holy Priest. Now, the house and techno haven welcomes the legendary Solomun and Nic Fanciulli to its 2026 roster.

• The Alchemy Stage (Bass, Hip-Hop, D&B): Known for its high-octane alternative energy, Alchemy adds Canadian rapper bbno$ and drum & bass icons Sigma. They join an already stacked lineup featuring Denzel Curry, Andy C, Pendulum, Camo & Krooked, Gramatik, and more.

In addition, the festival is offering two incredible experiences to attendees. The Joy Ticket breaks down financial barriers and allows fans a chance for entry. Plus, you can even nominate a loved one for the pass. Just share a sincere story and state what you can honestly afford to contribute. Applicants get a chance to have their stories individually reviewed by the UNTOLD team to secure a “Joy Ticket.”

Lastly is the Blood Network with its 12th Edition this year. It runs in partnership with Kaufland Romania, the longest-running blood donation initiative in the country. Since 2015, it has helped save over 70,000 lives with the help of 23,000+ donors. Between June 6 and July 12, 2026, a mobile caravan will visit 10 Romanian cities. Donors who participate get free one-day ticket to the opening day on August 6.

Founded in 2015 by Bogdan Buta and Edy Chereji, the historic Transylvania region of Romania is staking its claim in the festival world. The organizers aimed to create an immersive EDM experience that rivaled giants like Tomorrowland, embedding a fantasy-storytelling element into the event. The debut edition attracted an incredible 240,000 attendees. Following its explosive debut, UNTOLD adopted a chapter-based storytelling theme each year. Its themes leaned heavily into magic, wizards, folklore, and mythical creatures. What’s more, Armin van Buuren became a spiritual mascot for the festival, playing legendary 5-7 hour sets! Surpassing its 10th anniversary, join the #3 festival in the world (DJ Mag) for its iconic summer of 2026.
