Untold Festival 2025: A Musical Odyssey In The Heart of Romania, What Prospective Travellers Should Know Now

Once each summer, as the fabled Transylvanian region at the heart of Romania reveals its true beauty, the city of Cluj-Napoca comes alive in direct response to one of Europe’s most alluring festivals: Untold. On August 7th – 10th 2025, join us in celebrating 10 years of Dimensions in the heart of Pula, for an extraordinary stomp through sound, dance and culture. Whether you’re a music-lover or adventure-seeker, or attending your first-ever festival, there’s something for everyone at Untold, which is much more than a weekend — it’s a journey, expertly intertwining artistry, safety and travel magic for the ultimate all-out celebration.

A Decade Of Sound: The Music At Untold

And now Untold Festival is firmly making a name for itself next to the likes of Tomorrowland, Coachella and EDC with its genre-bending line-up and downright mind-blowing virtual stage settings. The bar has indeed been set higher this year, for its 10th edition, by the organizers.

This year there are the big guns (electronic titans Armin van Buuren, Martin Garrix, Alan Walker, Tiesto) mingling with the crossovers (Post Malone, Becky Hill, Metro Boomin, Rag’n’Bone Man). The fest is celebrated for its diverse lineup—EDM, trance, techno, hip hop, drum and bass, and, believe it or not, a little pop music, all performed on stages throughout the event.

But Untold isn’t just about who is on the bill. It’s the journey the music takes with its high-concept visual companions, synchronized light shows and myth-inspired stage designs. Every night it’s like visiting a parallel universe, one where music is both getaway and pulsing celebration.

Travel Meets Festival: Getting There And Staying Well

The unofficial cultural capital of Cluj-Napoca in Romania is the perfect location for such an energetic festival. Its cobbled streets, eccentric architecture, and busy cafes are a kindred extension of the festival’s character.

International visitors can take international flights to Avram Iancu Cluj International Airport (CLJ), where they will find the largest hub to enter the city, from major European cities such as Frankfurt, London, Paris, and Vienna. From there, it’s just a quick taxi or bus ride to the city center, where most of the action takes place.

Accommodation possibilities are vast, including budget hostels and university residence hires, boutique hotels, and festival-affiliated packages. Festival visitors are recommended to book early – the 400,000 people that visited the city during the Untold festival stretch the city’s houses availability to its limits.

Public transport is so regular but much guests would rather walk across the stages, venues and happenings. Not just the layout is conducive to walking, the city’s medieval charm and ardent citizens guarantee a pleasant and unforgettable walk, no matter where.

Safe, Smart And Seamless: Behind The Festival Gates

More than ever in the past decade or so, safety has become a nonnegotiable priority for any large-scale event — and for the organizers of Untold, that’s no exception. With local authorities and emergency services as partners, the fest offers 24-hour security, extensive surveillance and medical teams on the grounds.

Entry into the festival grounds is managed through cashless wristbands, which double as digital wallets and tickets. These RFID wristbands reduce physical connection, stealing while they speed up transactions on dining, drinks, and merchandise.

Health protocols are also robust. Now that the post-pandemic world has moved steadily to the normal side, Untold still upholds hygiene checkpoints, sanitization zones and crowd flow guidance. The official Untold application will further keep festival-goers updated on the spot providing you with real-time details, maps, schedules and safety alerts.

The event is openly assisted and is under surveillance by the Romanian authorities such as the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which work toward enforcing local regulations (including those concerning the noise), and public order laws, without bringing the extensive revelries down.

A Travelling Experience Beyond The Main Stage

But beyond the beats, Untold is a portal into all things Romanian. Travelers often prolong their stay in order to visit Transylvania’s other treasures: the mythical Turda Salt Mine, the historical Sighișoara or the famous Bran Castle, sometimes linked with the Dracula legend.

Even in Cluj itself, there’s plenty to satisfy the foodies and art lovers — whether you’re tucking into local eats such as sarmale and papanasi, or checking out the indie galleries, museums and jazz bars on offer.

For the health and wellness minded, or to take a break between sets, the festival has scattered yoga sessions, eco-gardens and spiritual healing corners throughout the festival grounds. It is this multi-sensory approach – music, travel, community and well-being – that sets Untold apart, making it more than just a music festival.

Final Notes: Make The Most Of Untold 2025

If it’s the tunes, the vibes, or just the sense of togetherness, Untold Festival is about connection between humans using sound. Its 10th edition is set to be its largest to date — a celebration of cultures, beats, hearts in one of Europe’s most vibrant cities.

Plan ahead. Stay safe. Dance freely. Behold the gates to Untold 2025.
