UNTOLD, ranked 3rd best in the Top 100 Festivals, unveils the first artists for the 2026 edition: The
Chainsmokers, Kygo, Lost Frequencies, Sebastian Ingrosso, MËSTIZA, and Steve Aoki. The festival
combines EDM and its subgenres with live acts such as Flo Rida, Swae Lee, and Tash Sultana on the
mainstage. Between August 6–9, 2026, the beautiful city at the heart of Transylvania, Romania - Cluj-
Napoca, once again becomes a global capital of music, love, energy, connection, legendary shows, and
experiences that go beyond boundaries, lift you up, stay with you, and change you.
Entitled UNTOLD ONE, the concept for this summer’s edition marks the beginning of a new decade in
2026, following the 10th anniversary in 2025. The new era comes with an eclectic lineup of DJs,
producers, and live acts, spectacular production, and intense, unforgettable experiences for the best
crowd in the world. The premieres and powerful comebacks of artists defining the sounds of diverse
generations will craft special shows for the UNTOLD stages.
The electronic music genre is represented by some of the world's biggest DJs and producers. The
Chainsmokers, creators of Closer, one of the most-streamed songs of all time with over 3.5 billion
streams, redefined the boundary between pop and electronic music. Grammy Award winners and
authors of global hits such as Something Just Like This and Don’t Let Me Down, the duo remains
impactful for generations raised on their sound. The Chainsmokers are returning to UNTOLD ONE
after their mainstage debut in 2018.
Kygo, the pioneer of tropical house, is among the fastest-rising artists in dance music history. His
productions have accumulated billions of streams, with tracks like Firestone and It Ain’t Me surpassing
3 billion global streams and will be played again in the heart of Transylvania.
Lost Frequencies, one of the most successful European artists in the last decade, introduced a melodic
house sound that conquered global charts through tracks such as Where Are You Now (1.6 billion
streams) and Are You With Me (over 1.3 billion streams). He is a powerful comeback at UNTOLD ONE
after he closed the mainstage in 2022 and crafted a unique show in 2024. Sebastian Ingrosso, Steve
Aoki and MËSTIZA complete the first wave of DJs.
Flo Rida, one of the most successful artists in pop-rap history, will create an iconic performance at
UNTOLD. With over 80 million records sold worldwide and iconic hits that have surpassed one billion
streams, such as Low and Good Feeling, Flo Rida redefined mainstream urban music and turned it into
a global phenomenon, constantly present on radio, charts, and major festival stages.
Swae Lee, one of the most influential voices of the new hip-hop and pop generation, comes to
UNTOLD ONE with a catalogue of tracks dominating streaming platforms. Sunflower, his collaboration
with Post Malone, has surpassed 4.1 billion streams on Spotify, becoming one of the most-streamed
songs in the platform’s history and cementing his status as an artist who defines contemporary
mainstream sound.
200+ artists and more than 470,000 fans from across the world will join the global celebration of music,
love, energy, and connection at UNTOLD, in the heart of Transylvania, Romania. New names will be
