The Golden Stag Festival is an annual international music festival held in Braşov, Romania. The festival has two main components: an international contest and guest performances by both Romanian and foreign stars.
In March 1968 was held the first edition and 22 solo performers from 28 countries competed for winning the Trophy that left for Belgium that year, with Jacques Hustin.
Even if only at the beginning, the musical event organized by Romania was also called "The festival from the East that looked like in the West!"
Worldwide broadcast in 1970, the festival got a larger and larger recognition, while winning a prize in the competition was an important goal for any solo performer.
Famous names nowadays, like Julio Iglesias or Christina Aguilera, currently dominating the musical industry and having fans in the whole world, sang on the stage in Brasov, in their early career.
Well-known artists have performed at the festival over the years, including James Brown, Kenny Rogers, Culture Beat, Paul Young, Boy George, Ray Charles, Enrico Macias, Dalida, Toto Cutugno, Patricia Kaas, Jerry Lee Lewis, Kylie Minogue, Diana Ross, Sheryl Crow, Zucchero, INXS, UB 40, Cyndi Lauper, Vaya con Dios, The Kelly Family, Boyz II Men, T.A.T.U, Scorpions, Ricky Martin, Simple Minds, Pink, Nino D’Angelo and Thomas Anders.
This year 27 foreign artists will compete in the Golden Stag 2008 in Brasov, together with 3 Romanian artists, for a total of 30 contestants. Some of them are former participants at Eurovision Song Contest.
The 3 Romanians will be the winners of the semifinal held on 10th of August in a live show by TVR1.
