Organizers invest EUR 10 mln in Romania's Untold festival

The electronic music festival Untold, which will take place in Cluj-Napoca at the beginning of August, requires an investment of EUR 10 million, according to the organizers. Half of the amount has been secured from ticket sales, reports local News.ro. Organizers said that the budget grew from EUR 7 million last year. The higher general budget allowed organizers to invest more in the budget for artists. About 200 artists will perform at the festival this year. Some 320,000 people are expected to attend this year’s edition. Untold 2017 will take place between August 3-6 in downtown Cluj-Napoca.
