Our favorite music festival UNTOLD continues to ascend in the global festival rankings. After securing 4th place in Slingo’s top festivals of 2024, the world-renowned festival from Cluj-Napoca, Romania has now claimed 3rd place in DJ Mag’s Top 100 Festivals, just behind Tomorrowland and EDC Las Vegas.
This year, the DJ Mag Top 100 Festivals saw a record-breaking number of votes, with fans from all over the world voting for their favorites. UNTOLD moved up from 6th place last year to 3rd place this year.
Featuring an outstanding lineup of over 250 international and local artists, including top live acts, DJs, and producers, UNTOLD boasts multiple stages and musical genres. The festival is renowned for its stunning lights and pyro shows, as well as performances by dancers, magicians, and acrobats.
These elements collectively contribute to UNTOLD‘s growing global recognition. The 2023 edition saw over 420,000 participants over four magical days and nights, attracting the best crowd in the world from more than 100 countries.
The UNTOLD Festival originated from a dream to create a spectacular event in Romania, showcasing the country’s unique charm and earning a spot among the world’s best festivals. This dream materialized in 2015 when Cluj-Napoca, designated the European Youth Capital, hosted the inaugural festival. The hard-working team behind UNTOLD, which won the Best Major Festival in Europe after its first edition, turned their vision into reality.
The festival is known for its standout moments, including special collaborations, surprise guest appearances, and unique stage productions that leave a lasting impression on attendees. The 2023 edition was a truly remarkable experience, solidifying UNTOLD‘s status as the third-best festival worldwide and the second-best in Europe, trailing only Tomorrowland.
