Sonus Festival 2025 announces the first acts appearing next year

Exciting news! Sonus Festival 2025 has just today announced the first set of acts that will be appearing at next year’s event (Zrce Beach, island of Pag, 17th – 21st August) – and the names on the bill are just as spectacular as ever! And if this line-up reveal has whet your appetite for summer festival fun, you’ll be over the moon to hear that tickets go on sale tomorrow, Wednesday 4th December at 6pm CET.

Even more thrillingly, the 2025 Sonus Festival will take the event to new heights thanks to a partnership with the world’s leading live events experience creator, Insomniac. Together with the mix of legends, top tastemakers and new stars on the line-up – as well as the beautiful setting of top party destination Zrce Beach – Sonus Festival 2025 will surely be the best event yet.

About Sonus Festival 2025

Would you believe that Sonus will already be in its 12th year in 2025? The festival will be brought to you by heavyweight event producers Time Warp, who have no less than thirty years of experience in genre-defining programming and We Love Sound, who stand as the foremost electronic music tastemakers in the Balkans with 20 years behind their belts. Add in to the mix experience creators Insomniac – known for their EDC events and production of some of the best festivals in the world, using state-of-the-art lighting, pyrotechnics and sound design, large-scale art installations, theatrical performers and next-generation special effects – and…phew…we’ve got quite some event on our hands.

The festival’s mantra of “in music and nature we trust” is apparent with the stunning venues that are the open-air clubs in beautiful Novalja. These venues offer gorgeous views – with beautiful sunrises and sunsets – plus the opportunity for revellers to party on the sand, in the sea or under the stars. The main clubs of Aquarius, Papaya, and Kalypso will return as venues, whilst Noa Beach Club (previously just a sunrise afterparty venue) will also be an integral part of the programme in 2025. Brand new for next year will be the Noa Beach Stage; this will be Sonus’s first stage environment on the sand! Here you will be able to swim and dance in the water all week long.

Boat parties will of course return for 2025 (how could they not?!) – previous years have seen the likes of Archie Hamilton, Ellen Allien, Enzo Siragusa, Clara Cuvé, Paula Temple, and countless more all lay down varied and vital sets. Pop-up parties will also return, as will afterparties – one of the core elements of Sonus’s identity.

And if all of that doesn’t fill up your festival timetable, there’s plenty of fun and adventure to be had in the local area. From water sports to kayaking, rock climbing to quad biking, plus bungee jumping, wind and kite surfing – all just 10 minutes from the festival!

Sonus is produced BY ravers FOR ravers. Combining a curated soundtrack with top-tier production, blending together adventure, travel and culture, it’s no surprise that Sonus draws a like-minded, warm and welcoming crowd from all over the world.

Sonus Festival 2025 Line-Up

So who’s actually on the bill?

Well, appearing at Sonus Festival 2025 will be Drumcode boss Adam Beyer, Berghain paragon Ben Klock, German duo FJAAK, Italian titan Joseph Capriati, the melodic sounds of ARTBAT and Deborah De Luca, and the hard-edged grooves of Spain’s Indira Paganotto.

Trance and acid will be on display from DJ Heartstring and KI/KI, alongside off-kilter rave weapons from Filth on Acid label head Reinier Zonneveld live, the deft minimal of Ricardo Villalobos and Seth Troxler, and customary curveballs from Cocoon’s Sven Väth.

House and melodic sounds are catered for by the likes of Adriatique and Anetha, the organic depths of Saga duo Bedouin, and the new school beats of Ben Hemsley and Ben Sterling. Bass-heavy sounds from Fleur Shore and Gordo are featured alongside the floating melodies of Jan Blomqvist live, weighty cuts from Loco Dice, warehouse sounds from Mau P, progressive lushness from Miss Monique, hypnotic rollers from Vintage Culture, and a hybrid DJ set from WhoMadeWho, with many more to be announced.

Sonus Croatia 2025 will also see the return of the eminent Space Miami — a name synonymous with discerning electronic music curation and unrivalled after-hours — and LA’s Factory 93, known for its deferential homage to the spirit of the 90s underground, raw warehouse aesthetic, and the myriad spectrum of techno at its heart.
