Sonus Croatia just revealed the complete lineup, new brand partners, and Opening Party details for its 2025 edition, and it’s shaping up to be one of the most expansive in the festival’s 12-year history. Set to take place August 17–21, 2025 on the iconic Zrće Beach on Pag Island, this year’s edition welcomes 74 artists across five days of electronic music bliss on the Adriatic coast.
Returning with the backing of Time Warp, We Love Sound, and Insomniac, Sonus promises an expertly curated sonic experience spanning beachfront clubs, legendary boat parties, and intimate afterparties. The newly announced acts include rising stars and regional favorites such as SYREETA, Thunderpony, Ani., Tea Vuckovic, GLIA, and Tom Bug, joining a heavyweight lineup featuring Adam Beyer, ARTBAT, Ricardo Villalobos, Ben Klock, Indira Paganotto, Sven Väth, and many more.
The festivities start early with an Opening Party at Aquarius on August 16, headlined by minimal and tech house powerhouse East End Dubs, Dutch groove master Franky Rizardo, and Croatian favorite Elena Mikac.
In terms of production partners, Sonus levels up again in 2025. Joining forces with global tastemakers like Space Miami, Factory 93, FUSE, and Nordstern, this year’s edition also brings on fresh collaborators including Decibel Open Air (Italy), The Bassement (Spain), Kiesgrube (Germany), and Keep On Dancing (Ibiza), expanding the festival’s global reach and clubbing pedigree.
The venue spread includes Aquarius, Papaya, Kalypso, and Noa Beach Club—with the latter featuring a first-ever stage experience that lets guests swim and dance in the sea during live sets. Beyond the beats, Pag Island offers outdoor adventure and relaxation, from cliffside hikes and water sports to fine local cuisine and beachside glamping.
“There is no finer blend of forward-thinking music, escapist beauty, and natural charm than at Sonus Croatia,” festival reps said in a release, underscoring the event’s continuing collaboration with the Croatian National Tourist Board.
