Fantastic characters from a magical world, nymphs, shamans, international acrobats, entertainers, and dancers, a realm of fairytales where you are invited to live unique experiences.

 

 

Magic doesn’t exist only in stories or if it does, that story is called UNTOLD. Every summer, hundreds of thousands of fans together write a new chapter in the most beautiful festival experience. For the 8th edition, the creators of UNTOLD present a captivating new creative concept, The Light Phoenix. During the four days of the festival, the city of Cluj-Napoca becomes the epicenter of music and magic, where each participant is invited to blend reality with imagination.

The official opening ceremony will offer Cluj-Arena fans a memorable show by the DJ ranked 4th in the Top 100 DJ Mag, Brazilian Alok.

During the four days and nights of the festival, the UNTOLD organizers have prepared a series of activations, with relaxation areas, food and drink zones, a real replica of a famous restaurant chain available at the festival, makeup sessions, a tattoo studio, VR experiences, thematic stages and workshops, and walking acts. From themed parties to unique experiences created in collaboration with festival partners, such as meet & greet sessions, live cooking, and food delivery service directly to the festival to not miss any of your favorite artists, everything is prepared to transform the festival days into memorable moments.

Festival fans will be greeted by fantastic characters, international acrobats, entertainers, cheerleaders, dancers, and drummers from Romania, France, Spain, the UK, and Germany. Acrobats on stilts, wearing costumes seemingly from another world, will bring the Phoenix closer to Earth, and the Tall Woman, who reigns accompanied by her faithful servants and guards, will lead the festival fans into a show, a fusion of street theater, interaction, and poetry. Another energetic and talented group of drummers coming from the typical Spanish carnival will light up the night with their energy, and artists covered in colorful wings will shine in the sun surrounded by oversized butterflies.

The experience offered by the charm of beautiful stilt angels is a specific experience of the Cluj-Napoca festival. These ethereal beings will present choreographies full of dynamic movements, acrobatics, and spectacular human pyramids that defy gravity. Fans will recharge with good energy alongside the Cheerleading Team of the Knights of Transylvania CCS Cluj-Napoca.

Designers’ nest, with Romanian designers

No outfit is a complete expression of one’s personality without makeup, hairstyle, or a cool pair of sunglasses or prescription glasses from the newest collection, which Lensa will present at the UNTOLD festival. A variety of options to match your favorite outfit with a bold temporary tattoo or perhaps a more discreet one are the steps trend enthusiasts can follow. The advice of the 10 makeup artists and hairstylists will create the desired final result so that fans can be the main characters in this unique UNTOLD realm.

The journey into this magical universe of 4 days and 4 nights begins with the invitation of friends to experience, feel, and live. The organizers call this feeling: UNTOLD.
