Defected Croatia 2026

The tenth and final edition of Defected Croatia will bring world-class DJs, producers, and performers to an international community of house heads from Wednesday, July 29th, to Sunday, August 3rd, 2026. It will showcase the very best of dance music for a monumental summer festival at The Garden Resort in Tisno.

Celebrated for its inclusive atmosphere, varied programme, and impeccable production, year-on-year, Defected's 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," this commemorative final line-up will feature several debuts and festival firsts as rising stars, underground favorites, and the scene's most-loved pioneers come together on the Adriatic coast.

Beyond the usual offerings, the Defected Croatia festival offers an impressive wellness programme, with daily yoga classes and mindfulness sessions to complement 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, Defected Croatia is truly a highlight of the calendar year.
