Sonus Festival 2025 Opening Party

All the action gets underway at the official and oh-so-essential Opening Party that will take place at Aquarius on 16th August. This will feature Easternderz party and label founder East End Dubs, who blends dub, garage, tech and minimal; Dutch house titan Franky Rizardo; and Elena Mikac.

A ticket to the opening party costs €30 (or €45 for a VIP ticket) and can be purchased at www.sonuscroatia.com/book.

What and Where is Sonus?

You mean you don’t know?!

This year’s Sonus is a three-way partnership between veteran and industry-leading event producers Time Warp, Balkans electronic music tastemakers We Love Sound, and Insomniac, which is best known for its iconic EDC events. Each brings world-class know-how to Sonus, ensuring that every single detail across the festival is perfected, whilst also guaranteeing the same values that have seen the festival become a revered celebration of underground music are maintained.

Sonus will be taking place in the epic Zrce Beach club venues of Aquarius, Papaya, Kalypso, and Noa Beach Club. This summer, Noa Beach Club will also see a special Sonus takeover as a one-off event, allowing revellers to swim and dance in the water for the first time!

Aside from the main stages, Sonus will of course also host boat parties and up-close and personal after parties.

Away from the thick of the festival action, Zrce Beach and the nearby town of Novalja offer so many activities and experiences. Whether you’re after water sports, kayaking, rock climbing, quad biking and bungee jumping, to more peaceful nature hikes, to indulging in mouthwatering local cuisine…it’s all here, just minutes from the festival.

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.

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.
