Standout moments of the festival include special collaborations, surprise guest appearances, and unique stage productions that left a lasting impression on attendees, making the 2023 edition of UNTOLD Festival a truly remarkable experience​. Now UNTOLD is in third place worldwide and the second-best festival in Europe, after Tomorrowland.

For the 9th edition of the festival this summer, the organizers of UNTOLD are preparing new magic on 8 stages, multiple music spots, different kinds of activities and fun games. Swedish House Mafia, Martin Garrix, FISHER, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, Alok, Lost Frequencies, Carl Cox, Black Coffee, and Solomun are amongst the best DJs and producers on the planet who will join UNTOLD 2024. Some of the most powerful live acts on the main stage are Lenny Kravitz, Sam Smith, Louis Tomlinson, Burna Boy and Tom Grennan. Fans are awaited for a once-in-a-lifetime experience from August 8 to 11 in the heart of Transylvania, in the beautiful city of Cluj-Napoca.
