This week, top drum & bass festival Hospitality on the Beach revealed the full line-up for its 2026 edition! Taking place in the party central location that is The Garden Tisno from 1st to 6th July 2026, the heavyweight bill will feature acts such as Sub Focus, Andy C, Metrik, Kings of the Rollers, Calibre, Dillinja, Flava D, Lens and more. The festival will also be celebrating 30 years of Hospital Records next year – so Hospitality on the Beach 2026 is THE place to be!

About Hospitality on the Beach 2026

The seventh edition of the festival in 2026 will once again welcome ravers to Tisno, this time for five days of partying under the sun by day and under the stars at night, all right by the gorgeous Adriatic Sea. Attendees from all over the world – from across Europe to the U.S., Australia, New Zealand and beyond – come to HOTB to enjoy an intimate, inclusive and community-driven event. Music, connection and adventure are all at the core of this festival.

Excitingly, the 2026 edition of the festival will bring HOSPITAL30 to life, making it central to Hospital Records’ 30th anniversary celebrations and honouring three decades of one of electronic music’s most influential independent labels. To deepen the sense of connection even further, 2026 introduces The Beach Club, a new loyalty programme for anyone who has attended at least once. Members will receive exclusive offers, rewards and access to a special pre-party ahead of this year’s event.

Taking place in the famous The Garden Tisno, every corner of the festival site will be utilised, including the five distinctive stages: The Beach Stage, The Garden Stage, Olive Grove, Wabi Sabi and The Pier. And then there’s also the signature experiences, such as the boat parties and the afterparties at the legendary club Barbarella’s.

If you need a little downtime, there will be daily beachfront yoga sessions, a morning run club and other countless added touches. The festival site’s private beach is always a big draw and, surrounded by fig and olive trees, it’s spectacularly laid back. Head to the local town of Tisno to explore, or set off to tour one of the local Dalmatian cities and sights for a change of pace. All in all, a truly unique holiday and festival experience for all those who attend.

Hospitality on the Beach offers drum & bass fans all aspects of the genre – from liquid to jungle, rollers to neuro, dancefloor to jump up, and everything in between.
