Post Malone confirmed for Untold X! Becky Hill, Martin Garrix, and Black Coffee among the first announced artists.

Global superstar Post Malone is coming to Romania for the first time at Untold. A Billboard award winner and Grammy nominee, the American artist, who has collaborated with Taylor Swift and Beyoncé, will perform at the anniversary edition of Untold.

Other top artists complete the lineup for a legendary Untold edition: Becky Hill, Rag’n’Bone Man, Martin Garrix, Armin Van Buuren, Fisher, Tiesto, Steve Angello, Hugel, Alok, Don Diablo, Black Coffee, Marco Carola, Dom Dolla, and Adriatique.

Post Malone, one of the most influential figures in contemporary music and a global superstar, will perform for the first time in Romania at the anniversary edition of the UNTOLD festival.

With over 80 million records sold and 59.5 billion streams on Spotify, Post Malone is among the best-selling artists of all time. He has won 10 Billboard Music Awards, three American Music Awards, and an MTV Video Music Award, and has been nominated 18 times for the Grammy Awards. His hits “Circles,” “Rockstar,” “Sunflower,” and many more will be performed live for the first time at Cluj-Arena during the 10th-anniversary edition, UNTOLD X.

In August 2018, the American artist broke Michael Jackson’s 34-year record for the most weeks spent on the Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart: his album “Stoney” remained in the rankings for 77 weeks, surpassing the 76-week record held by “Thriller.” In 2025, Post Malone entered the rankings of the most-streamed artists on Spotify, with his single “Sunflower” reaching 3.65 billion plays.

His debut album, “Stoney” (2016), set the tone for what was to come: hit singles like “Congratulations” (feat. Quavo) established him as a major name in the music industry. His subsequent albums, “Beerbongs & Bentleys” (2018) and “Hollywood’s Bleeding” (2019), solidified his megastar status. With global hits such as “Rockstar,” “Circles,” and “Sunflower,” Post Malone became one of the most-streamed artists in the world. “Beerbongs & Bentleys” captured the hedonistic essence of Generation Z, while “Hollywood’s Bleeding” explored the dark side of fame.

Post Malone is an artist of records, with an impressive track record: 9 diamond-certified songs – more than any other artist, 18 Grammy nominations, and 11 Billboard Music Awards, including Artist of the Year in 2020. His albums have been streamed billions of times, and his music videos have hundreds of millions of views. Beyond the numbers, Post Malone remains an authentic, accessible artist and a trendsetter in the music industry. In 2024, Post Malone collaborated with Taylor Swift on the song “Fortnight,” which set a streaming record on Spotify on its release day. Also in 2024, he worked with Beyoncé on the song “Levi’s Jeans,” and at the 2025 Grammy Awards, he had seven nominations.

Becky Hill, known for her versatility and success in electronic music, will perform at the anniversary edition of UNTOLD. The British artist collaborated with Oliver Heldens on the song “Gecko (Overdrive),” which reached No. 1 on the UK Singles Chart, making her the first contestant from The Voice UK to achieve a No. 1 single in the UK charts. She has won multiple awards, including two BRIT Awards for “Best Dance Act” in 2022 and 2023.

Rag’n’Bone Man joins the first wave of artists for UNTOLD X. The British artist is one of the most powerful and expressive musicians of his generation, recognized for his deep and emotional voice. He became a global phenomenon with the release of the hit “Human,” which dominated international charts and earned him numerous awards, including a Brit Award for British Breakthrough Act.
