The Unforgettable Festival returns in 2025 with an edition that promises to make history - and the latest news has been greeted with enthusiasm by fans of authentic Romanian music: Subcarpați join the official line-up! The band that redefined folk music for the new generations is coming to Constituției Square, between 11 and 13 September 2025, with a unique show - Subcarpați Symphony, a fusion of traditional, hip-hop and live orchestra in a 100% Unforgettable setting.
Underground folk on a legendary stage
The Subcarpați project, founded by MC Bean (Alexe Marius Andrei) in 2010, has quickly become a cultural phenomenon. In a world dominated by electronic beats and commercial lyrics, Subcarpați chose a brave path: to reinterpret Romanian folklore in a modern way, while keeping the emotion, message and roots of our traditional music. With tracks that mix old lyrics, doines, caval and flute with hip-hop, trip-hop or dubstep beats, Subcarpați has created a unique style - an "urban folklore" that speaks directly to the soul.
British newspaper The Guardian described Subcarpați as "an explosive mix of old and new", and that's exactly what the audience at the Unforgettable Festival will experience - a lively, intense, emotionally charged performance that connects you to the earth, to your identity, to what it means to be "home".
