Romania Festival

Golden Stag Festival

An annual international music festival held in Braşov, Romania. The main organiser is Televiziunea Română, Romania's state-run television network. The festival has two main components: an international contest and guest performances by both Romanian and foreign stars. The Golden Stag was first held in 1968.

Well-known artists have performed at the festival over the years, including Jacques Hustin, Gilbert Becaud, Josephine Baker, Toto Cutugno, James Brown, Kylie Minogue, Diana Ross, Christina Aguilera, Cyndi Lauper, Kenny Rogers, Jerry Lee Lewis, Ray Charles, UB 40, INXS, Scorpions, Tom Jones, Ricky Martin, P!nk, Sheryl Crow, Kelly Family, t.A.T.u., Ruslana & many others.

The festival previously took place during the summer, but more recently was moved to the autumn. For 2006, the organisers were considering staging the festival in the spring to ensure the presence of top artists.

In the recent years, the Romania Festival has been sponsored entirely by TVR, after the Municipality of Braşov and the Romanian Ministry of Culture decided to stop funding the event.

"Our only goal is to let the public enjoy quality music - and this we will do, by concentrating on the artists, and not the date or the location of the festival." TVR spokesperson
