NIBIRU, the new entertainment project on the Romanian seaside , officially opens on July 16, 2026, in Costinești. The organizers announce the first experiences and festivals and put tickets on sale for the inaugural season. NIBIRU is designed as a city of entertainment. Starting this summer, it will have events, concerts, shows and activations from Monday to Sunday. The international line-up confirmed for this summer includes Timbaland, Busta Rhymes, Fat Joe, Hugel, Ozuna and Nicky Jam.
The resort is built as an open space, with free access to the promenade. The promenade brings daily shows, concerts and activities for all generations, for tourists and the local public.
NIBIRU Promenade in Costinești, with free access
NIBIRU will include a large promenade, which crosses the entire project and functions as the central space of the experience. Unlike classic seaside promenades, this is not just a place to walk. It is an active area, with multiple functions and integrated entertainment.
The promenade will feature over 2.000 trees and plants, a food court and over 30 restaurants, cafes and bars. There will be shops and areas dedicated to events, sports and relaxation. There will also be experiences for families and children, including a 5.000 sqm playground, developed with Hype Play. The NIBIRU Amusement Park, designed as an evening experience , is also added.
The area will also include the Planet Museum, a thematic trail dedicated to the Solar System. There will also be the TaranTerra reptile exhibition and a contemporary art space, created with the Suprainfinit Gallery.
Throughout the summer, the promenade will function as an active attraction point for Costinești, with daily events and activities.
Daily shows and experiences for all generations
The NIBIRU Center Stage, a large stage, will also be located on the promenade. Every evening, concerts, dance moments, acrobatics, circus, pyrotechnic shows and special productions will take place.
The performances are created together with director Răzvan Ioan Dincă and his team. The approach differs from the classic seaside concert model. Each artistic appearance is conceived as a complete show, created especially for NIBIRU.
The concept addresses a diverse audience, from young people and festival communities to families and tourists. This increases the leisure offer in the area.
Accessibility and an open model for the general public
One of the central decisions of the project is related to accessibility. The organizers announce that access to the promenade will be free, with a minimum consumption of 25 lei.
The model aims to keep the experience accessible and, at the same time, operationally sustainable. Thus, access remains open to the widest possible audience, including seaside tourists.
Free admission will be available subject to capacity. During busy periods, access may be regulated by reservation and ticketing.
Approximately 80% of the suppliers are Romanian companies. Official partners include Banca Transilvania, Lidl, Ursus, eMag, GLO – Hilo, Pernod Ricard Romania , Red Bull, Jägermeister and Essence.
