Over 152,000 People Attended the First Edition of Kapital, the Hottest Festival in Bucharest

On Kapital’s third day, over 47,000 people attended the shows of Lost Frequencies, Mëstiza, John Summit, Steve Aoki, Alok, and Korolova.

The first edition of Kapital had a spectacular debut, with over 152,000 people choosing to experience the unique vibe of a festival from the UNTOLD Universe, now in Bucharest.

On the third evening, more than 47,000 people enjoyed the music and lived the Kapital experience for the first time at the National Arena.

One of the most anticipated performances was the duo Mëstiza, with a complex show blending flamenco and house elements, offering a unique stylistic identity.

Lost Frequencies, a DJ and producer well-loved in Romania, took over the MainStage with an energetic set that thrilled the crowd.

Alok was warmly received, as always, by excited fans eager to witness his first-ever show in Bucharest.

At the Temple stage, the night’s highlight was John Summit — the U.S. house music superstar considered a “must-have” in the lineups of the world’s biggest festivals and one of the most influential names in the electronic dance music scene.

The Ark stage hosted acts like Grasu XXL, IDK, Rava, Oscar, as well as Johny Romano and Rareș. Thousands of fans sang along to the hits of the most relevant artists in urban music culture.

Later that evening, the public also witnessed the largest drone show ever held in Romania, a grand moment inviting fans to return for the second edition of Kapital.
