Over 278,000 fans enjoyed the sixth edition of NEVERSEA, the largest beach festival in Europe based in Romania.
It was the first time for youBEAT and it was great!
In the four days of the festival, taking place in Constanța beach on Black Sea from 4 to 7 August, the hottest ingredients of this year’s Neversea edition were: over 100 artists on the four stages, memorable experiences offered by many festival partners with various activities and impressive stands, and the fans who sang and danced until sunrise.

DAY 1
First international mainstage for Mexican dj & producer Aaron Sevilla, delivering great Afro/Latin vibes!
Bebe Rexha was one of the biggest international names of the line-up and she did a great show with dancers, performing her latest song “I’m The Drama” and closing the set with “I’m Good (Blue)” with David Guetta!
DJ Snake is always a warranty of show with fire and fireworks and it was impressing to listen “Teka” replayed three times until the crowd smashed on it at the maximum level of energy!

WHERE TO STAY
Beside Constanta city, with a long history of over 2,000 years between the Roman Empire, Ottoman Empire and influences that are its special features in addition to the very famous waterfront casino from which the Neversea coastline could be seen, I would highly recommend Mamaia Nord, a resorts area that has quickly established itself as a top destination on the Romanian coast, offering the most modern accommodation facilities, the most diverse range of culinary options (and some of the best chefs on the seaside), the finest sand, and beaches untouched by human activity, with water as clear as the Mediterranean.
We stayed at Alezzi Beach Resort, a green modern collective of high-level apartments right in front of the sea with two external pools (one for children) and a private SPA for guests!
Thank you Neversea/Untold team for the warm welcome and to artists teams for the availability!
