Located just outside Bucharest, Mogoșoaia Palace is known for its Brâncovenesc architecture, gardens and lakeside setting. Always Forever Festival will use the palace grounds as an open-air venue, combining concerts with art installations, relaxation areas and spaces designed for spending the entire day at the festival.
The event runs from Friday, September 4, at 15:00 until Saturday, September 5, at 23:45. The detailed daily schedule and performance times are expected to be announced closer to the festival.
Always Forever Festival 2026 Line-Up
The first edition brings together international headliners, emerging European performers and established Romanian artists.
Skepta
One of the defining names of British grime, Skepta comes to Mogoșoaia with a catalogue that helped bring the genre to an international audience. His appearance is expected to be one of the festival’s most energetic performances.
Hurts
The British duo behind songs such as “Wonderful Life” and “Stay” brings its cinematic synth-pop sound to the festival. Hurts has a long-standing connection with audiences across Europe and remains one of the most recognisable names on the Always Forever line-up.
AJ Tracey and JME
AJ Tracey and JME strengthen the festival’s UK rap and grime selection. AJ Tracey is known for moving easily between grime, rap and more melodic club-oriented tracks, while JME is one of the genre’s most respected independent artists.
Brooke Combe and JACOTÉNE
Scottish singer Brooke Combe brings a mix of soul, indie and rock influences. Australian artist JACOTÉNE adds another distinctive voice to the programme, with a sound shaped by soul, pop and alternative music.
Killa Fonic, Moonlight Breakfast and GOLAN
Romania is represented by Killa Fonic, Moonlight Breakfast and GOLAN. Their performances extend the programme from urban music and alternative pop to electronic and live hybrid sounds.
