There’s a brand new festival for Croatia’s events calendar and it’s one that will take place in a very impressive location! Gates of Agartha (23rd – 24th June 2023) will be held in Cave Romane, a historic Roman quarry near Pula that was in use for centuries by the Romans to extract Istrian limestone – a material that was used to build the Colosseum in Rome. How impressive is that?!
About Gates of Agartha & Line-Up
The two-day festival will blend together the past and the present, combining the region’s rich history with its wonderful and vibrant culture.
On the bill will be Crosstown Rebels boss Damian Lazarus, classy tech house from Italian titan Marco Carola, new school Dutch house star Chris Stussy, Spanish hit maker Dennis Cruz, Greek mainstay Echonomist, plus more from Pablo Panda and The Ace Brothers. There’s also a special guest that is yet to be announced. It’s a great line-up for what will surely be a spine-tingling event.

The festival is brought to you by the same people behind the Echoes from Agartha experience in Cappadocia, Turkey. This festival in Croatia is the first of their new series of destination events that explore mystical and mythical places around the world ad where art, culture and history collide.
Gates of Agartha is also being held in partnership with local promoters BSH Events, renowned in Croatia for their out-of-the-box approach to unique venues. Clearly, they’ve knocked it out of the park in this case! Cave Romane will be lit up with immersive and cutting-edge lighting technology, as well as filled with world-class sound systems.

Following a very successful tenth edition of the festival last year, the epic Dimensions Festival has announced its full line-up this morning – and it really looks to be a spectacular year. Croatia’s most forward-thinking festival returns to its new home of The Garden Resort in Tisno from 31st August to 4th September 2023 with another untouchable mix of cult stars, pioneering legends and new school talents as well as the famous boat and label parties, live sets, back-to-back exclusives, debuts and much more.
The previous ten editions of the festival have seen the event really build up a special feel, meaning every dance is a special one, plenty of musical memories are made and new bonds are formed. All of that is no surprise given the experiences on offer – sailing out to sea on one of the hugely popular boat parties; baking in the sun as DJs drop warm beats on the beach; getting freaky at one of the after-parties or dancing under star-lit skies at the cult Barbarella’s Discotheque. And with the festival set on a sweeping, secluded bay, beside towering pines and with gorgeous sea views, the Garden Resort has proven to be the perfect setting.
With Dimensions all about high-quality production, carefully curated line-ups and crowds of serious music lovers, there is no finer place to spend your summer.
Take a look at the official highlights video below to get a feel for the festival:
This summer, the full range of bass, house, techno, electro, garage, disco and plenty in between will be on Dimensions’ diverse musical programme, something that they have poured heart and soul into! Much of that will be overseen by the welcomed return of popular label and brand partners such as the one and only Fabric, Bristol label Dr Banana, Berlin mobile record store and DJ duo The Ghost, London party and label Butter Side Up, Welsh community-minded gathering Freerotation, Leeds’ legendary Subdub, plus Maricas, Heels & Souls, Casa Voyager, Picnic, Outlaws Yacht Club and more. On top of that, 2023 sees the addition of new partners such as Scotland’s leading electro label Craigie Knowes as well as the psychedelic lovers from Club Cosmos.
Some firm festival favourites and long-standing affiliates return including blistering techno from Helena Hauff, high-speed electro from Detroit’s Stingray, heady house and minimal from The Ghost, tasteful eclecticism from Josey Rebelle and stylish spaced-out electronic sounds from Hamish & Toby.
In terms of debuts, Italian techno sculptor Donato Dozzy will play for the first time while Sugar Free and Peach play back to back for the first time on any line-up with further b2bs scheduled from Malika & Matthew Neequaye, Christian AB & Quest, Gene On Earth & Dyed Soundorom, Youandewan & Huerta, Masda & Evan Baggs, tINI & Doudou MD, and Roza Terenzi & D. Tiffany.
Live shows are always a big part of Dimensions and this year Sweely, Z@p, Hieroglyphic Being, OCB aka Driss Bennis and Steevio all line up while lovers of heavyweight bottom ends have plenty to look forward to as Mala, Iration Steppas, LTJ Bukem, Josey Rebelle, Tim Reaper, Om Unit and Tasha all bring their finest bass next to Skee Mask, Objekt, Anz, Bluetoof and others who will be repping a rich take on UK centric electronic sounds.
On top of this, there will searing electro from Assault, Freakenstein, DJ Bone and Helena Hauff (who also brings her Presents concept with another hard-hitting line-up ), plus UKG and beyond with Dr Banana who return with a stellar takeover featuring Lady Passion, Perception, Enchanted Rhythms and more, while otherworldly explorations come from Sybil, Carl H, Simon Scott and GiGi FM. ISAbella brings her MARICAS party back to Tisno with a special takeover and you can expect mind-bending sets from Nicholas Lutz, Onur Ozer, Unai Trotti and Raphael Carrau amongst many more.
There is still plenty more Dimensions news to be announced, including the unmissable after-party programme at the stunning outdoor venue, Barbarellas Discotheque. Last year’s after-party takeovers included The Ghost x Limousine Dream, Truants and Planet Euphorique. Tickets for the after-parties can be purchased at www.dimensionsfestival.com/after-party and are currently priced at £30 (plus booking fee) for all three nights.
Details of the boat parties are to be announced soon, but it’s something you’ll want to know about! Who could resist 3-hour sessions on the crystal clear waters of the Adriatic with some of the finest artists, labels and collectives around?

A new name on Croatia’s impressive music festival scene comes to Dubrovnik this September. Sonic Festival’s Sonic Sunset Session is to be held in the mighty Lovrijenac Fortress in Dubrovnik on 8th and 9th September 2022 – electronic music fans will delight in partying it up in this amazing location, the first time it will be used as a festival site.
About Sonic Festival
Sonic Festival’s first edition is being presented as the Sonic Sunset Session to provide revellers with an unforgettable experience of both the location and the entire event. And some of the top names in the house and techno scene – both internationally and locally – are on the bill for this first edition: Italian producer and DJ Marco Faraone; one of Ibiza’s go-to DJs, Jamie Roy; and regional acts such as Danijel Čehranov, Dea Tosh, NEROA, Brigitta & MattButt.
Hailing from Tuscany, Marco Faraone grew up immersed in music – his father was a DJ in the 80s, and his initial foray into DJing was dominated by the many hip-hop records that comprised his then-modest collection. Marco then graduated to playing drum ‘n’ bass, before settling on a discerning techno vibe for which he is best known today. Marco became a resident at Florence’s globally-renowned Tenax club and quickly graduated from being a ‘crafty up-and-comer’ to one of modern techno’s most recognised and respected names. Marco’s productions have graced some of the scene’s most respected labels such as Drumcode, Defected and Rekids as well as his own much-respected UNCAGE imprint.
Jamie Roy is someone who lives and breathes underground electronic music culture in all its forms. It’s therefore no surprise that Jamie quickly became one of Ibiza’s go-to DJs in 2019 when he held a residency at the legendary Ushuaia for Nic Fanciulli’s ‘Dance Or Die’ events. As a producer, he has landed on the likes of Repopulate Mars, Trick, Unsound, Saved, Kaluki and Under No Illusion. With each and every new EP, Roy shows a subtle evolution of his sound while staying true to his roots. Whether playing an intense club set at places like Studio 338 or La Terrazza Barcelona, or laying it down for huge crowds on main stages at BPM Festival Costa Rica or Elrow in Glasgow, Roy always knows exactly what record to reach for to make the best connection with his crowd.
Danijel Čehranov, the owner of Last95 Records, is one of Belgrade’s most sought-after DJs, as well as one of the most successful regional music producers. He has played at the amazing Dance Arena at Exit Festival, the Main Stage at the Sea Dance Festival, and also in New York, Moscow, Istanbul and the entire region.

Tickets for Sonic Festival are planned to go on sale on 1st July 2022, and will be available on Entrio.

A highlight for any of you who like to take to the seas to party it up during your holidays, The Yacht Week returns to Croatia this summer partnering with leading electronic music labels Drumcode and Hot Creations for “The Yacht Week Presents”.
“The Yacht Week Presents” will see each music label join what’s called “the original floating festival” for 7 days of music and incredible parties set in unique locations all along the stunning Croatian coast. There will be intimate and exclusive sets from a number of highly respected DJs including Adam Beyer (of Drumcode) and Jamie Jones (of Hot Creations).
The Yacht’s Week’s sailing flotilla of just 500 people is a festival like no other, with parties taking place in outdoor and seafront venues, historic Croatian fortresses…and out at sea too, of course! In the case of the latter, this means the opportunity to party it up on a floating dancefloor and with a floating DJ booth fully equipped with a VOID Acoustics sound system. And if you want something beyond the partying, there will also be ample opportunity for exploring, taking in culture, wellness and adventure – a true part of any The Yacht Week experience.
The Yacht Week’s motto is ‘life is better at sea’; The Yacht Week Presents takes this to a whole new level, joining with groundbreaking electronic music brands and artists to bring the flotilla together, creating a festival community where once-in-a-lifetime experiences bond friends together for life.

As to be expected in the current circumstances, many of the festivals in Croatia have been cancelled for this summer. (Or, more accurately, postponed until 2021.) We’re sure many of you were planning to head down to Zrce Beach on the island of Pag to get your festival fix this year…so, what if we told you that there’s still a way you can get a festival experience in Croatia this year? That’s where Zrce Sail Week comes in!
Zrce Sail Week was started in 2019, and takes the number one party place in Croatia – Zrce Beach – to another level. World famous for its music festivals and 24-hour partying and open-air nightclubs looking out to sea, the area attracts many thousands of revellers every year. In any ‘normal’ year, Zrce Sail Week would organise an extra level of festival arrangements for all partygoers – it’s the first and largest brand that specialises in customised yacht hire for Zrce Beach.
As an outdoor event, Zrce Sail Week is permitted to be held in summer 2020, and will be setting sail every week from 4th July 2020!
But why take part in Zrce Sail Week?
10 reasons to go on Zrce Sail Week
1. The glamour
It’s a festival! On your ‘own’ yacht, sailing through the gorgeous Adriatic sea? What could be a better way of having a bit of fun this summer?
2. Everything is organised for you on Zrce Sail Week
Very often when you look to hire a yacht, you’ll get bogged down in a complicated and costly process, trying to plan the entire rental to within an inch of its life. Not here! Each yacht (which can accommodate up to 8 people) comes with its own skipper, whilst catamarans (for up to 12 people) have a skipper and a hostess.
3. It’s not as expensive as you may think!
As you’re spending your whole week on the yacht, there’s no extra costs apart from food.
If you want to add on a few extra people on your boat (if there’s space) to further lower costs per person, there’s the CrewFinder option to help you find people to fit into your crew! Or, use it for the opposite reason – if you’re a solo reveller (or there’s two of you), use it to find a solo or cabin slot on an existing yacht booking. You don’t need to get together a whole group of 8 or more people to enjoy Zrce Sail Week!
4. You don’t have to know a thing about sailing for Zrce Sail Week
Most of Zrce Sail Week’s guests are first time sailors…and all come away loving the experience! And then you can come home bragging to all your friends
5. The partying
Well, obviously. Did we mention that Zrce Beach is party central? You can choose to party the day and/or night away at clubs such as Papaya, Aquarius, Kalypso, Noa, Cocomo, Nomad and Euphoria and at the many events these venues host. Well, when you’re not partying on your yacht, that is!
6. It’s easy to get to start point for your week at sea
Zrce Beach on the island of Pag is easy to get to! The nearest airport is Zadar Airport, to where numerous airlines fly to from all over Europe. Pag is connected to the mainland by bridge, so you can get a bus from Zadar all the way up to Novalja, close to where Zrce Beach is. Of course, you can easily fly to one of the other airports in Croatia that are slightly further away – Split, Rijeka, Pula or perhaps even Zagreb.
7. You get your own personal guide for the week
The skipper on board each yacht knows the best places for everything. The best places bays for swimming, the best places to drop anchor, the best restaurants. You don’t have to do any research for these kinds of things!
8. You’ll be joined on your hols by like-minded people
Well, if you book a yacht with your friends, they’ll definitely be like-minded!
But even if you’re booking a solo spot or cabin, Zrce Sail Week tries to fit you in on the most suitable yacht. And most people booking these boats tend to be aged from 18 to 35 – which is likely what you are too.
9. It’s a week sailing in Croatia!
Have you seen the amazing Croatian coastline, with its numerous Croatian islands? (If you haven’t, you really should look it up!) It’s the ideal place for a sailing holiday. Zrce Sail Week is almost like two holidays in one – as well as a week partying, you also get to experience a sailing holiday.
10. It’s the perfect combination of a holiday
A bit of adventure on the seas, plenty of relaxation by day on the shimmering Adriatic sea and revelry at night – what more could you want from a summer holiday?!

If you recall, Outlook has moved home for 2020 – now named Outlook Origins (for it has returned to its origins in Dalmatia), the festival will take place in Tisno. This year will see a more intimate version of the storied Outlook Festival, but one that will stay true to its roots – with its usual mix of sound system culture, beach parties, boat parties, after parties and much more.
