Sonus Croatia 2025

2025’s edition of Sonus Croatia takes another bold step up with a raft of international line-up additions. Taking place on the pristine shores of Pag Island from August 17 – 21, 2025, this foremost Adriatic escape – in partnership with the world’s leading live events experience creator, Insomniac – bolsters the programme further with a slew of additional DJs and live acts from across the electronic spectrum.

Amongst these new additions are 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. There will be fresh and heavyweight house 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.

The 12th year of Sonus Croatia 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 – all of whom ensure this year’s Sonus will be the most ambitious yet. What’s more, London’s Enzo Siragusa will headline an exclusive FUSE stage partnership – his 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.

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. The culturally rich locale of Novalja offers an unmatched blend of adventure travel and cuisine, plus water sports, kayaking, rock climbing, quad bike hire, bungee jumping, wind and kite surfing, and more – all just 10 minutes from the festival – with accommodation options to cater to all budgets.
