Jerking aside, none of them have a bad reputation from a festival standpoint.

Both of them are a gold goose for everybody, from a financial point of view and from the young part as well, because it's a big party and at 16 you want that.

The are some contextual misdemeanors regarding how the organizational of Untold handled the 1st and 2nd edition, related to the booking of Cluj Arena and 90% of the public park surrounding the area, and after the event on how they managed the stadium to it's before standards (filed grass), considering that Cluj Arena it's manged by the City Hall, so basically public property maintained with clujeans taxes. Also are a lot of "untold" stories regarding how the 1st Untold was organized, because it was funded by the national, local and EU under the "Youth Capital" event so it kinda got a good start with public money and then "moved" the Untold brand and royalties of "Untold Festival" into a private entity. The were also a lot of complains regarding the level of the noise in area sorrouding the Cluj Arena, which is by all accounts a central area where people live, sleep and go to work and a lot of them were mildly to enraged by the context. More complaints could be pointed toward the prices of food per quantity, considering that you could could not bring food or beverage on the event premise from outside, you were forced to buy what was sold inside. With 10 euros (40 LEI) you could barely buy food for one, by food I am referring to cooked food on the spot, the alternatives were hotdogs or frozen out of the oven wannabe pastry. So considering the high quantity of alcohol that you one would dink food was need to compensate therefore you need a dally a minimum of 70 euro per day (300 lei) for one to mildly not give a fuck about food or booze, so ~ 300 euro for 4 days which it's a bit high budget for people 18 - 24 which are not accustoms with how this events work, considering the medium national income. (note* under 18, no alcohol, which it's a first for Romania)

This could sum up backstory / context of the fishy start, the hate, the trolling and badmouthing the Untold event.

From a economic standpoint the 2-nd edition of Untold it was a fucking success. All the contractors, partners and open restaurant stands for 4 days did not sleep, considering that each day the show ended around 3-4 AM in the morning and next day they had to resupply and prepare for the next wave, some of them were running out of raw materials, and were force to shut the doors early.

As for me I was mostly high, but it was a lot of fun, especially if you come with some friends. Had some female friends that I tough that they would not enjoy, but they did, BIG time. Everybody did. Also adopted in the gang a few foreigners and had 3 extended-ish people from the country, so coming solo can be fun too !

Also had to opportunity to see Armin mix for 5 fucking hours !! The man would not live the stage.

The Electric Castle it's a bit complicated on how the event team manages the event. In 4 years of the event, almost every fucking year it rained, the last year it did like it was a bucket challenge rain + mud.

The event it's held on the plateau of the Bánffy Castle which it's a national monument and you can not damage the premises. The plateau of the castle it's old so there are some restriction on how they can organize the area, and the rain it's not helping them, so we have mud. The area of the castle it's a village by romanian terms so you the shops or supermarket were scarce. Driving by car from Cluj to Botida, the village in question, was out of the discussion because the area can bee flooded and you end up stranded so it was set up a station with the help of the Cluj municipal buses, which was trashed down because logistically they performed poorly. 2 or 3 years ago had to live my car in Botida, because there was no way that I was going to make it out.

I for one and the people that were with me, we were equipped with a fishing wader head to toes and warm clothes in my backpack if needed.

Did not give a fuck about rain or the mud.

The food prices are the same as they are at Untold but with a larger range of prices, so everybody can enjoy, even with less money.

Had a blast. Was not high because people tend to be stupid when its raining. Skrillex with the thunder were in sync, was quite beautiful.



I live in Cluj, so my advice for accommodation would be in advanced Airbnb in Cluj for both events ... because the prices skyrockets and people tend to speculate financially the context and even move out of the city and rent their apartment.

Total costs for the event, considering the tickets were around 800 for both of them I think.

• edit: TL;dr - both festivals are amazing and have each their personality, and they are worth all the penny.
