From her early days in Neath, Wales, to international acclaim, Jenkins rose to fame after performing at Pope John Paul II’s silver jubilee in 2003. She went on to sign the UK’s largest classical record deal, releasing chart-topping albums like Premiere and Serenade. With 13 UK classical No. 1 albums and multiple Classical Brit Awards, she’s brought classical music to a broader audience like few others.
Beyond music, she’s performed for British troops, supported numerous charities, and honoured national moments, including a moving rendition of God Save the King after Queen Elizabeth II’s passing.

José Carreras: A Legendary Tenor at the Unforgettable Festival 2025
Unforgettable Festival 2025 proudly presents one of the world’s greatest tenors: José Carreras. For over 50 years, Carreras has graced the stages of the world’s most prestigious opera houses, captivating audiences with unforgettable interpretations of Verdi, Puccini, and Bellini.
A musical prodigy from Catalonia, Carreras made his debut at just 8 years old and quickly rose to international fame. His partnership with soprano Montserrat Caballé and appearances at the Met, Covent Garden, and La Scala made him one of opera’s brightest stars.
As part of the iconic Three Tenors alongside Plácido Domingo and Luciano Pavarotti, Carreras brought opera to a global audience, redefining the genre’s popularity. His inspiring battle with leukaemia and the founding of the José Carreras International Leukaemia Foundation speak to his courage, resilience, and generosity… values that echo through his art.
This September, Carreras returns to Romania to perform with a full symphony orchestra at Unforgettable Festival 2025. More than a concert, it will be a moving celebration of life, hope, and timeless music.

Subcarpați at Unforgettable Festival 2025: Romanian Folk Reimagined in a Symphonic Spectacle
The Unforgettable Festival returns in 2025 with a powerful promise: to honour the legends, celebrate the present, and spotlight the soul of Romanian music. Among this year’s most exciting announcements is the participation of Subcarpați, the trailblazing band that redefined local folklore for a new generation. Between September 11-13, 2025, in Constitution Square, they’ll present Subcarpați, a one-of-a-kind concert fusing Romanian tradition, hip-hop energy, and the majesty of a live orchestra.
Underground Folklore on a Grand Stage
Founded in 2010 by MC Bean (Alexe Marius Andrei), Subcarpați has become a cultural movement. In a music world saturated with commercial sounds, the band dared to dig deep into Romania’s roots, blending ancestral lyrics and instruments like the caval, nai (panpipes), and flute with modern beats, from hip-hop to dubstep. The result? A vibrant genre of its own: „urban folklore”, both nostalgic and cutting-edge.
Described by The Guardian as „an explosive mix of old and new,” Subcarpați’s sound speaks to the Romanian spirit in all its complexity: raw, poetic, and powerful. Their performances aren’t just concerts; they’re communal experiences that revive identity, tradition, and collective memory.
