UNTOLD: The World Capital of Night and Magic

Alina Ceusan # Featured

When I think about UNTOLD, I think about a dynamic, young and effervescent festival. The second UNTOLD edition brought us artists such like Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, Faitless (for the first time in Romania since they have restarted their musical activity), Hardwell, Armin Van Buuren, Kristian Nairn (aka Hodor from Game of Thrones), Sasha, Grasu XXL, Nneka, Kwabs, Foreign Beggars and Pendulum. As soon as they heard about the festival, our friends, who are spread all over the country, announced their arrival so you must imagine by how was this experience, along with the entire gang that we can’t wait to see again: Carla, Gaby, Patrick, Nicolas, Matei, Miha, Adi and Alexandra. Now when I am writing about it, I am finding it so funny, but obviously each room of our apartment was turned into a bedroom and every morning started with dozens of coffee cups, in the kitchen, along with the endless talks.

We left for Untold by foot and Raul quickly took the city tour guide role for our guests, talking to them through (all) the way. We kept our bellies full at Moldovan, we enjoyed a cold Ursus beer on the grass and we felt like we were on a vacation, in our own city. We had four days full of good music and fun and this feeling has been shared by hundreds of thousands of people, 300. 000 precisely, for all the festival days. I’m glad I had the chance to meet you: @georgianabuzila, @dariacicu, @andreestf, @albucristina20, @alexandracretu29, @alinahincu, @oanaelena05 – those moments on the stadium were priceless. I will leave you know with a gallery of images from Untold that hopefully will remit to you, better than hundreds of words, the festival atmosphere.
