The final Defected Croatia will take place at The Garden Tisno from 29th July to 2nd August 2026.
About Defected Croatia
After many a successful season in Ibiza, the Defected team brought their unique vision to Croatia’s shores in 2016 for the very first Defected festival. A mix of main-stage house superstars, disco icons and underground heroes played to partygoers day and night in the awesome Garden Resort, making full use of everything the site has to offer – including daytime beach sessions and the (in)famous boat parties, great stages and the onsite nightclub, Barbarella’s, for some top-notch after parties.
Since their debut, they’ve built on their early experience, and now they see 5,000 people from across the world gather together to experience house music heaven on the shores of the Adriatic.
As you will have guessed from the year mentioned in first paragraph above, Defected Croatia celebrates its 10th year this year – but it will also be its final event! Come down to Tisno this summer to be a part of history and help Defected go out with a bang!
Some of 2026’s line-up has been announced, revealing some very exciting names. Acts such as Groove Armada (DJ set) , Seth Troxler, Eats Everything, Horse Meat Disco, John Morales, Dennis Ferrer, Fat Tony, Jonas Blue, Mousse T, Purple Disco Machine, and Todd Edwards have all already been announced. But there are also more names to come!
The festival site, The Garden, is also the perfect place to relax in the sun and sea by day when you’re looking for a little downtime from the festival.
