UNTOLD X: 10 Years of Magic and World-Exclusive Shows

UNTOLD RANKS 3RD GLOBALLY AND PROMISES AN ANNIVERSARY EDITION THAT WILL EXCEED ALL EXPECTATIONS

Starting Thursday, August 7, UNTOLD opens its gates for 4 days and 4 nights to celebrate its 10th anniversary edition, bringing over 250 top national and international artists and hundreds of thousands of fans from Romania and around the world into its magical universe.
In 2025, UNTOLD holds the 3rd spot in the Top 100 Best Festivals in the World, for the second year in a row, alongside Tomorrowland and Ultra Music Festival. Since its debut in 2015, UNTOLD has won the Best Major Festival award – a premiere for a first-edition festival. Year after year, it has climbed international rankings and forged global strategic partnerships.

Organizers revealed the main highlights of UNTOLD X, which celebrates 10 years of one of the world’s biggest festivals. Special shows created exclusively for this edition will take place on the main stage, with performances by Post Malone, Metro Boomin, Rag’N’Bone Man, Armin van Buuren, Martin Garrix, Alok, Tiësto, Don Diablo, and many more.

“We’re celebrating 10 years, and UNTOLD has been an extraordinary journey. From the beginning, we’ve brought storytelling into the festival, promoted traditions and fantasy, and celebrated music and joy alongside our fans. Each edition featured world-class artists and premiere shows that became part of our DNA,” said Bogdan Buta, Founder and CEO of UNTOLD Universe.

MAIN STAGE: ONE OF THE MOST COMPLEX STRUCTURES EVER BUILT IN ROMANIA

The main stage of UNTOLD X is the most ambitious structure ever built for a festival in Romania. Spanning over 100 meters wide and extending into the stadium stands, it features over 300 tons of ballast, specially designed for extreme weather conditions, and a 25-ton centerpiece installed using a custom crane.
The setup includes 2,000 square meters of visual decorations, 1,150 square meters of LED screens, and more than 1,100 lighting installations, ready for high-impact visual projections. Assembly was done using the largest scissor lift platform in Europe, rarely seen in entertainment.

Hundreds of people are part of the main stage operations team, led by six Brazilian experts who have also worked on the Rio Festival.
Designed as a temple of magic, the mainstage honors the festival’s story. At its core is the “Magician” – the narrative voice guiding every UNTOLD edition – now symbolically returning as the spirit of continuity.
The stage combines fantasy elements and symbols from UNTOLD’s history, reuniting iconic characters in a tribute to the values of the festival: imagination, freedom, community, and transformation.
The central symbol “X” marks not only the anniversary but also UNTOLD’s identity – a link between past and future, story and reality, and a tribute to the fans who made it all possible.

Spanning 235,000 square meters, the festival expects hundreds of thousands of attendees during its 4 magical days and nights.

SPECIAL MOMENT: “IN MEMORIAM AVICII”

Ten years after the first edition, UNTOLD will pay tribute to Avicii, the festival’s first-ever headliner in 2015. The In Memoriam Avicii moment will take place Saturday, August 9 on the main stage, honoring one of electronic music’s most influential artists and his essential role in UNTOLD’s global rise.

UNTOLD X – THE SAFEST PUBLIC EVENT IN ROMANIA

For four days and nights, the organizers are working with authorities to ensure maximum safety. Thousands of personnel from Romania’s Ministry of Internal Affairs, Police, Gendarmerie, Emergency Services, Anti-Drug Agency, Organized Crime Brigade, and Local Police will be on site.
A large private security team will also help maintain safety and order throughout the event.
