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.

Hospitality on the Beach

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.

The stunning location of The Winter Garden - Obertauern in Austria

From The Garden in Croatia to The Alps – A Winter Garden!

Croatia festival devotees will, of course, know all about The Garden in Croatia. You’ll know about The Garden being one of the original dedicated festival sites, started in Petrcane in 2004, to The Garden Festival itself (founded in 2006) to the current The Garden Tisno site that’s home to so many of the best festivals in Croatia. The impressive duo behind all of these ventures, Nick and Charlotte Colgan, haven’t even stopped there! They also run The Garden Brewery in Zagreb and The Garden Lounge in Zadar, and are involved in many a festival with The Garden Productions. Now, twenty years since The Garden first came into being, they are launching a brand new event – A Winter Garden, taking place in the renowned ski destination of Obertauern from the 8th to 12th December 2025.

The Winter Garden, Obertauern, 8th - 12th December 2025

About A Winter Garden

An exclusive and intimate festival for 350 guests, with the potential to expand in 2026, A Winter Garden will be a truly boutique event offering pristine snow, great skiing and awesome wellness experiences. Many of the rooms and suites at [PLACES] Obertauern by Valamar, which will be the focal point for much of the indoor action, have been booked up with only 75 packages remaining.

Plenty of fun will be had during the four nights of music from Gerd Janson, Shanti, Olive F, Dave Harvey, Chez Damier, Ellie Stokes, Ilija Rudman, Guru Logic (Live), Mark Broadbent, Pepi Jogarde and more.

A Winter Garden offers guests 11 specially designed packages which including accommodation, breakfast, dinner, wellness access, and the music programming – a unique experience which heralds a fresh chapter for Nick and Charlotte and their team.

The concept for A Winter Garden has existed for quite some time. During last winter’s visit to Obertauern, Charlotte and I found everything aligned perfectly – the stunning hotel, top-tier infrastructure, exceptional cuisine, expansive ski slopes, and unspoiled nature. We knew we’d discovered an ideal setting for a multi-year story very much rooted in the spirit of The Garden Festival. Also, 2025 is a pivotal year for us and we yearned for a new project which captures the essence of what we started in Croatia – only this time, instead of sun there’s lots of snow!

Nick and Charlotte Colgan in Croatia

We’re curating a wonderful and enriching experience with everyone under one roof, sharing every moment, day and night. That’s what creates genuine magic – something that cannot be planned, but only felt by being a part of it.

Nick Colgan, founder of The Garden

For all fans of The Garden Festival or festivals in Croatia in general, this is a chance to be a part of something new and unique in a stunning location – and in a year that The Garden Festival team are celebrating their 20th anniversary in Croatia. Be one of the founding members of a story that’s sure to flourish in the coming years!

A Winter Garden Timetable

Each day will begin with sumptuous breakfast for all before enjoying one of the alpine activities! Skiing is of course the top draw, with more than 100 kilometres of prime slopes available right on your doorstep. You could also chose to undertake a scenic hikes through beautiful landscapes. Whatever way you work up a sweat, you’ll need to enjoy a spot of après-ski with gatherings hosted by Hohcajt from Zagreb. If there’s ever a day when you don’t fancy some outdoor fun, enjoy instead some relaxation time in the on-site spa and swimming pool.

All of this leads into the amazing evening entertainment! South African virtuoso Guru Logic will enchant guests with a pre dinner live performance by the fireplace in the hotel lounge, whilst vibrant nights will be had by all on the top floor of the hotel. Why? Well, The Garden’s legendary Croatian night club, Barbarella’s, will be hosting a pop-up edition bringing A Winter Garden fully to life each night with special guests that are linked to The Garden Festival.

These include core Garden residents, celebrated international DJs and top regional talent who have all contributed to the scene alongside The Garden team for years. Croatian collectives from Zagreb including Planet Srijeda, Dobar House, and Late Check Out will take the helm for three nights, whilst long term partners Love International from the UK will round off the closing celebrations.

Our aim is to deliver renowned international acts alongside exceptional local talent, Music remains central to all we do, including bringing Barbarella’s to the Alps. Our son Ben is now head of events at The Garden and our latest project Mali Barbarella’s (Little Barbarella’s) is a pop-up version of its big sister is in full swing in Zagreb, so it’s very much a family affair for us which is our whole philosophy. Our mission is to unite people through shared experiences, which at A Winter Garden is from morning skiing to fireside conversations and late-night dancing. It’s about blending music, nature and connection and that’s where the magic of A Winter Garden lies; ski, dance, recharge and repeat.

Nick Colgan

Perseids Festival, island of Cres, Croatia

Perseids Festival returns to beautiful Cres this August

After a very successful first edition of the festival in 2024, Perseids Festival will return to the lovely island of Cres from 14th to 17th August 2025. Perseids isn’t just a typical event on the summer festival calendar, no! A festival with a twist, this electronic music festival is a fully crowd-funded event, and there are just 300 tickets available. Better still, the festival is set in a beautiful and pristine nature reserve, with the festival fully respecting its wonderful environment. The perfect event for those seeking a deeper connection with music, nature and community – where better to swim, sleep, rave, repeat?

Perseids Festival, island of Cres, Croatia - 14th to 17th August 2025

About Perseids Festival

Cres island, just off the northern part of Croatia’s gorgeous coastline, is one of the lesser-known and more “off-the-beaten-track” islands in the Adriatic. Perseids takes place on the stretch of the island between Tarej Beach and Forest Beach on the eastern side. Here, you’ll be surrounded by dense oak forests and the turquoise shimmering sea, based in a wild, off-grid location that offers an immersive, open-air experience that’s far from the peak-season crowds and commercial noise.

Perseids is fully independent from corporate sponsorship, and places great emphasis on sustainability, integration and intimacy – values that the festival is built upon. And as it is limited to only 300 revellers, Perseids makes sure to focus on a low-impact yet high-vibe environment, all the while preserving its beautiful setting.

Perseids Festival

All guests “bring” their own accommodation setup – whether that’s a converted van or something more low-key – to make sure they blend comfortably into the natural surroundings. Only essential facilities are available, and a “leave-no-trace” philosophy is embraced by all.

Most of all, the festival has space – meaning nature and music can equally be enjoyed without the pressure of crowds. You can easily step away from the music for a little while to enjoy moments of rest, reflection and connecting with nature. And where better to do this than on the gorgeous island of Cres?

Most of all, Perseids Fest is more than just a music event. It is a temporary community shaped by the shared values of freedom, creativity, and environmental care. 

Swim. Sleep. Rave. Repeat.

Perseids Festival Music

But what about the music? Perseids features three carefully designed stages that will all have a line-up of handpicked DJs, producers and live acts from across Europe and beyond. Genres aren’t fixed to particular stages; instead, the music reflects the mood of the moment and the crowd. This is true throughout each day, whether it’s at a sunrise session or a late-night DJ set. And Perseids prides itself on offering a platform for lesser-known talent, prioritising quality over mainstream appeal.

Tickets for Perseids Festival

The second phase of tickets are currently available. There are two passes available – both allow you access to the entire duration of the event. Hillside tickets costing €110, whilst beachside tickets priced at €150.

Tickets can be purchased at www.perseids-fest.com/tickets.

Latest Sonus Festival line-up revealed

The 2025 edition of the Sonus Festival has just revealed phase two of its line-up – and it’s rather spectacular! Taking place in the party-central location that is Zrce Beach on the island of Pag from 17th to 21st August 2025, the festival has added a whole heap of international names have been added to the bill. They include Andrea Oliva, Joseph Capriati b2b Seth Troxler, Chris Liebing, Josh Baker and many, many others. Read on to find out more about the Sonus Festival line-up!

2025 Sonus Festival Line-Up - Zrce Beach, island of Pag, 17-21 August 2025

The 12th Edition of Sonus Festival

That’s right – 2025 will see the 12th edition of Sonus take place. This year will prove even more magical than ever as the festival will see an amazing three-way partnership between veteran, industry-leading event producers Time Warp, Balkans electronic music tastemakers We Love Sound, and Insomniac (best known for its iconic EDC events).

Newly announced to proceedings is London’s Enzo Siragusa headlining an exclusive FUSE stage partnership. Enzo’s tastemaking label and party brand has very much set the tech house agenda for the last decade-plus and takes in elements of dub, minimal and garage to light up dance floors worldwide. Further stage partners include Basel’s nightlife and cultural hub Nordstern, plus the return of cult party crew Space Miami, and the raw underground of LA’s Factory 93, each adding their own brand of magic to the proceedings.

And what about those new names on the bill? There will be tech house titan Andrea Oliva, CLR founder Chris Liebing, and a special b2b set between Metamorfosi label head and Italian innovator Joseph Capriati and Detroit maverick Seth Troxler. Fresh and heavyweight house will come from Josh Baker, heady cosmic tech from Sweely, and lofty selections from Serbia’s Tijana T. All shades of techno come from the likes of Klangkuenstler, Lilly Palmer and UNCAGED’s Marco Faraone, with the younger Berlin generation represented in DJ Gigola and Elli Acula, whilst Moritz Hofbauer (live), Julian Wassermann (live) and Deniz Bul perform as part of a FCKNG SERIOUS showcase alongside labelhead Boris Brejcha.

Sonus will once again take place in the famous Zrce Beach clubs of Aquarius, Papaya, Kalypso, and Noa Beach Club – and the Noa Beach Stage will be brand new for this year, allowing revellers to swim and dance in the water all week long for the first time.

The legendary boat parties will of course return, as will eminent afterparties and pop-up events. And if that’s not enough for you, there will be plenty more on your doorstep – for the nearby town of Novalja offers a heady mix of adventure travel and cuisine. There will be water sports, kayaking, rock climbing, quad bike hire, bungee jumping, wind and kite surfing, and more – all just 10 minutes from the festival.

Importantly, Sonus Croatia will stay true to its original founding principles which means that the music comes first from meticulously crafted production to the sound systems – it is these values that have cemented the festival as a European and global standout for over a decade.

2025 sees the return of the lauded boat parties, alongside the eminent afterparties and pop-up events. The beachfront venues for this unreal escape are Aquarius, Papaya, Kalypso, and Noa Beach Club – the Noa Beach Stage is all new for this year and allows people to swim and dance in the water all week long for the first time.
