Untold Festival 2026: Dates, Full Lineup, and Daily Schedule

Full Lineup: Headliners and Special Acts

The 10th-anniversary lineup is the most ambitious in Untold's history. Mainstage headliners include Martin Garrix, who is preparing a special anniversary show, and Armin van Buuren, one of the festival's most beloved returning acts. Electronic music's rising force Anyma — known for merging melodic techno with advanced digital art — makes his landmark Untold debut on the final night.

The lineup expands well beyond EDM. Post Malone makes his Romanian debut as a live act on Friday night, drawing a crossover audience alongside the dance music crowd. Metro Boomin delivers what is billed as an exclusive European festival performance on Saturday, the only show of this kind on his 2026 summer schedule. Rag'n'Bone Man and Sam Garrett round out the live music side on the opening night.

Other notable names confirmed across the four days include Tiësto, Dom Dolla, Black Coffee, FISHER, ARTBAT, Alan Walker, Alok, Steve Angello, Ben Böhmer, Röyksopp, Jan Blomqvist, Adriatique, and Hugel — the last three all making their Untold debuts. The diversity of the roster ensures every genre preference is represented across the week.

One storyline to watch: FISHER closed the Galaxy stage in 2024 and returns in 2026 for his mainstage debut — a progression that signals how fast the Australian DJ has risen in the international festival hierarchy. Make sure to download the official app to track set times as they are released.

Daily Schedule: Day-by-Day Breakdown

Opening Thursday opens with a grand ceremony on the Mainstage. Tiësto plays an extended set and is joined by Don Diablo (exclusive), Tujamo, and Topic. Live music fans get Sam Garrett and Rag'n'Bone Man. The Galaxy stage is headlined by Black Coffee, while the Daydreaming stage features Ben Böhmer, Parra for Cuva, and Marten Lou. Thursday is the best night to explore the full site before weekend crowds peak.

Friday marks two major debuts. Armin van Buuren returns to the Mainstage with an exclusive show designed specifically for this anniversary edition. Post Malone follows as the main live act in his Romanian debut, and a teased Surprise Act rounds out the Mainstage. Dom Dolla makes his Untold debut on Galaxy before ARTBAT, while Daydreaming features Sébastien Léger. Detailed daily schedules from Rave Jungle list the full stage-by-stage timing for this night.

Saturday is the heaviest night. Hugel makes his Untold debut on the Mainstage, followed by Alan Walker (returning after a three-year absence), Alok, Steve Angello, and Vini Vici. Metro Boomin closes the Mainstage with his European-exclusive set. Galaxy sees Green Velvet and A:RPI:R; Daydreaming hosts Jan Blomqvist and Röyksopp. Saturday tickets typically see the highest demand — if you are attending only one night, this is the one.

Closing Sunday is reserved for the landmark acts. Anyma makes his long-awaited Untold debut, FISHER performs on the Mainstage for the first time, and Martin Garrix delivers a specially produced anniversary show. Becky Hill also joins the Mainstage for her first appearance. Galaxy features Adriatique's debut; Daydreaming closes with Shimza, Pachanga Boys, and Bob Moses. The festival runs until 08:00 on Monday morning with a sunrise finale and closing fireworks. Set times are officially released approximately two weeks before the event.

The Stages: Mainstage, Galaxy, Alchemy, and Daydreaming

The Mainstage dominates Cluj Arena with a massive LED system and pyrotechnics. For the X edition it has been redesigned as a Temple of Magic — a visually ambitious tribute to a decade of Untold, built around the festival's iconic Magician figure. This stage hosts EDM, pop, and live acts. Expect to see production values that rival the best electronic music festivals in Europe.

The Galaxy Stage operates inside a sports hall adjacent to the arena, giving it a climate-controlled indoor atmosphere. It specialises in techno, deep house, and melodic house — the home of Black Coffee, Dom Dolla, ARTBAT, and Adriatique in 2026. The enclosed space generates an intense, club-like sound environment very different from the open-air Mainstage.

The Alchemy Stage is dedicated to bass music, trap, and hip-hop. It has a raw, urban design that suits the heavier sounds hosted there. High-energy crowds and a strong mosh-pit culture define the vibe here, particularly late on Saturday night.

Daydreaming sits at the far end of the park grounds and offers a forest-canopy setting with deep house, organic electronica, and downtempo sounds. Ben Böhmer, Röyksopp, and Jan Blomqvist all play here in 2026. Finding where to stay for Untold Festival close to the park entrance makes it easier to visit Daydreaming early in the evening and then move to the Mainstage for the headliners.

Ticket Information and Prices

Choosing between ticket tiers depends on your budget and desired level of comfort during the weekend. General Access tickets offer the full musical experience at a competitive price point. You might wonder is Untold Festival worth it when considering the VIP upgrade — it typically is for anyone who values shorter queues and elevated sightlines on the Mainstage floor.

VIP passes provide elevated viewing platforms, dedicated bars, and faster entry lanes. These tickets are limited and sell out well before General Access. If you prefer more space and shorter drink queues, the upgrade is usually worthwhile. The festival also offers a Galaxy VIP tier with its own premium area adjacent to the indoor stage.

Untold operates a 'Risk-Free' ticket option that allows refunds or resales through official channels. Always avoid third-party social media sellers. Prices increase in waves as the event approaches — early-bird tickets have historically been up to 40% cheaper than the final-wave price.

• General 4-day pass: covers all stages, standard queues, cashless wristband
• VIP 4-day pass: elevated platform, dedicated bar, fast-track entry, Mainstage exclusive viewing zone
• Galaxy VIP: all VIP benefits plus a reserved area inside the Galaxy Stage
• Single-day tickets: available in limited quantities, best booked immediately when released

New Music Friday: Festival Edition

The 'New Music Friday' spirit runs through Untold each year as artists regularly debut unreleased tracks during live sets at the festival. Fans can witness history as producers test fresh sounds on a crowd of 430,000. According to Enjoy Television, the 2024 edition alone drew over 427,000 attendees across four days — a scale that makes it one of the largest music events in Europe by attendance.

Beyond the music, the festival features art installations, a fashion village, and local food vendors across the 235,000-square-metre site. The X edition's "Temple of Magic" branding extends to exclusive merchandise and anniversary-themed décor throughout the Central Park zones. Following Untold Festival tips for first-timers will help you find these areas more easily on your first visit.

The 10th anniversary marks a decade since Untold launched in 2015 as a national festival and grew into a global event. This milestone year emphasises that progression — from a local showcase to a destination that draws fans from across Europe and beyond. For Romanian electronic music, it remains a point of national pride and a key moment on the city's annual calendar.
