One of the top festivals in Croatia – Hospitality on the Beach (Tisno, 2nd – 9th July 2024) – has revealed its full 2024 line-up and there are some fantastic names playing at this drum and bass heaven on the Adriatic Sea!

About Hospitality on the Beach

The festival is brought to you by the leading UK drum & bass label Hospital Records, known for its focus on the drum and bass community and for covering all styles of drum and bass, from liquid to jungle, rollers to jump up, minimal to neuro and everything in between. Hospitality on the Beach debuted in 2018 and has evolved into the event we all know and love today – one that offers truly unforgettable moments in a stunning beachside setting to all party-goers. The party heads back to its routes next summer to offer an intimate experience like no other.

Once again, Hospitality on the Beach will be held at the impressive Garden Tisno resort, which has everything a festivalgoer could possibly want and need! From a sun-kissed private beach to multiple stages to immerse yourself in DnB at all times of day (especially during the unreal sunsets and epic sunrises); crazy boat parties to the world-famous open-air afterparty spot Barbarella’s Discotheque.

The exclusive venue, The Garden Resort, boasts a sun-kissed private beach and multiple stages where you can indulge in DnB from across the spectrum with epic views, unreal sunsets and dazzling sunrises with like-minded music lovers. You can expect days spent under Croatia’s blissful blue skies, some of the craziest boat parties in the world and raving until the sun rises at the world-famous al fresco afterparty spot, Barbarellas Discotheque. Hospitality On The Beach truly is for everyone. It’s a movie of your own making with options to rave, relax or explore the local culture and cuisine of Croatia. Explore the town of Tisno which offers amazing seafood restaurants, pizzerias, bakeries and gelato shops; or take a day trip to the many surrounding sights, or simply chill on the beach. 

“The Garden is a really special place for the whole Hospitality family. There’s an unparalleled sense of unity among our fans from across the globe, coming together to celebrate the full spectrum of drum & bass music. There are no barriers, no VIP areas, no exclusivity – just ravers and artists sharing the best Summer D&B week of the year. We’re buzzing to return to our second home, nestled on the beautiful Adriatic shores of Tisno, Croatia”

Chris Goss, owner & Managing Director of Hospital Records 

And that’s not all! The nearby town of Tisno has lots of offer (think amazing seafood restaurants, pizzerias, bakeries and gelato shops) and there are plenty of awesome day trips to other towns, cities, islands and national parks for you to enjoy too.

I’m very excited to play the Balance Croatia event at The Garden Resort next year! I have a long history with Balance and this feels like a perfect get together!

Eelke Kleijn

So excited to be part of the Balance 25th anniversary celebrations next summer as they hold their first festival in Croatia. Balance have been a real torchbearer of our scene since the turn of the century and it was an honour and a privilege for Quivver and I to mix the latest album in their incredible DJ mix series. And it’s all happening at one of the most, unique, stunning party sites in Europe – whats not to love?
