What to expect
- Stadium-scale EDM at the National Arena, by the team behind UNTOLD and Neversea
- 2026 headliners include Axwell, Alok, Paul Kalkbrenner, John Summit and Charlotte de Witte
- First edition (2025) drew 152,000 attendees
Planning tips
- Gates open in the evening; the biggest sets run late into the night
- The arena is well served by metro (Piața Muncii) — avoid driving on festival nights
- Summer heat in early July; bring water and use the on-site cashless top-up
Build a day around it
In Bucharest, an event day is best when it’s clustered. Treat the event as one anchor block, then pair it with one food mission and one simple walk. If you keep buffer time, the day feels fun instead of logistical.
- If you have 2–3 hours: arrive early → event → short neighborhood walk.
- If you’re making a full day: one museum/architecture block + event + a calm evening plan.
- If the weather turns: keep walking minimal and use cafés/museums as your buffer.
Before you go
- Confirm the details: check the official link for last-minute schedule or venue updates.
- Arrive with buffer: 15–30 minutes early usually makes the whole experience calmer.
- Have a weather plan: keep one indoor “warm stop” in mind in case the day turns.
