Always Forever Festival Debuts at Mogoșoaia Palace with Skepta, Hurts, AJ Tracey & GOLAN
As the summer festival season reaches its peak, Romania is preparing to welcome a brand-new boutique music experience. On September 4 & 5, 2026, the historic grounds of Palatul Mogoșoaia will transform into an immersive soundscape for the inaugural edition of Always Forever Festival. Moving away from concrete city landscapes, the festival pairs 18th-century Brâncovenesc architecture with lush lakefront greenery, creating a unique backdrop for a crossover lineup of UK grime, cinematic synth-pop, alternative hip-hop, and live electronic beats.
Lineup Highlights & Genre Crossovers
The multi-genre roster brings together international heavyweights alongside pioneer local acts:
Skepta: The Mercury Prize winner and Boy Better Know co-founder leads the bill. Known as one of the most influential figures in UK urban culture, his mainstage performance promises relentless grime cuts and high-octane energy.
Hurts: Manchester’s iconic synth-pop duo returns to deliver their signature dark elegance. Expect striking live visuals, soaring vocals, and massive sing-along anthems like “Wonderful Life” and “Stay”.
UK Rap & Soul Pioneers: UK scene staple AJ Tracey and legendary grime pioneer JME join the roster, while rising stars Brooke Combe and JACOTÉNE inject soulful indie textures into the weekend.
Local Champions & Live Electronic: Elevating the local landscape, Killa Fonic brings his signature trap-fusion sound, Moonlight Breakfast drops their infectious electro-retro vibes, and live-electronic trio GOLAN sets the tempo with organic, instrument-driven dance grooves.
The Experience: Where Heritage Meets Sound
Located just outside Bucharest, Mogoșoaia Palace offers festival-goers a fresh outdoor escape. Alongside the musical programming, Always Forever will feature curated food courts, chillout zones under the trees, interactive art installations, and visual showcases designed to complement the estate’s scenic lakeside views.
