Defected Croatia Festival

Bringing world-class DJs, producers and performers to an international community of house heads, the ninth edition of Defected Croatia will be held from Wednesday 30th July – Sunday 03rd August 2025, showcasing the very best of dance music for an unforgettable summer festival at The Garden Resort in Tisno.

Celebrated for its inclusive atmosphere, varied programme and impeccable production, year-on-year our Croatian festival curates a diverse line-up of dance music greats to play across our three festival stages, daily boat parties plus revered afterparty venue Barbarella’s. Described by Mixmag as, ‘an ecstatic, extravagant spectacle,’ the line-up each year features several debuts and festival firsts, as rising stars, underground favourites and the scene’s most-loved pioneers come together on the Adriatic coast.

Going beyond the usual offerings, our Croatia festival offers an impressive wellness programme, with daily yoga classes and mindfulness sessions to balance out late nights on the dancefloor. With our iconic dancers and performers, surprise stage takeovers, secret pop-up parties, exclusive DStore merch, and major on-site competitions too – Defected Croatia is truly a highlight of the calendar year.
