For three days, some 150,000 people danced to the electronic music tunes in what organizers termed a success. It was the largest such festival held on a beach in Romania, and the only one of its kind in Europe. Some 150 international artists electrified the audience, putting on a memorable show with amazing choreographies.



The seven stages set up on the beach, at only a stones throw away from the sea, as well as fun and animation zones were packed throughout the entire duration of the festival with young people partying.



“It was awesome.


“Good music, good vibe, everything was really cool.


“Its really great! Amazing! Very nice, very good music.


“We have several concerts to choose from, so were basically going from one stage to the next.



The largest music marathon ever hosted by Constanta kicked off on Friday at noon. Thousands of young people arrived on the Romanian Black Seacoast early in the morning with their tickets already bought, which proves the high public interest in the festival. The artists who climbed on stage this weekend were impressed with the large turnover. Sam Feldt, the DJ who released one of the most popular summer hits right now, “Summer on You, the legendary Tiesto and Rita Ora are but some of the many artists who electrified the crowds on the first day of the festival.



Saturday it was time for Afrojack, Fatboy Slim and Years&Years to make their entrance, while on Sunday the party started with Jason Derulo in the highlights. Jason Derulo has 11 platinum-certified singles which sold over 50 million copies all over the world. Aged 27, Derulo is at the top of world billboards and every song he releases is sure to be a howling success.



Performing live on Sunday were also Dua Lipa, Nicky Romero and Benny Benassi. In a nutshell, NeverSea put Constanta on the map of top-level music events, alongside the Untold festival, which turned Cluj-Napoca in northwestern Romania into a favorite destination for music fans in summertime.



Organized by the same team behind NeverSea, this year Untold will reach its 3rd edition, running from August 3 through 6. Armin van Buuren, Dimitri Vegas&Like Mike, Hardwell, Martin Garrix and Steve Aoki are but some of the names whove been confirmed so far. Untold was designated Best Major Festival at the 2015 European Festival Awards.
