Sonus Festival has just unveiled the second phase of its star-studded lineup for the upcoming 12th edition. Set against the breathtaking backdrop of Zrce Beach on Croatia’s stunning island of Pag, this electronic music spectacle will take place from August 17th to 21st, 2025.
The phase two additions
The newly announced artists bring a wealth of talent to the festival. Tech house maestro Andrea Oliva, renowned for his high-energy performances, will be joined by techno heavyweight Chris Liebing and an exclusive back-to-back set featuring the boundary-pushing Joseph Capriati and Detroit’s own Seth Troxler.
Other additions include rising house sensation Josh Baker, the hypnotic grooves of Sweely, and the genre-blending sounds of Serbian favorite Tijana T. Expect pulsating techno from Klangkuenstler, Lilly Palmer, and Marco Faraone of UNCAGED, while Berlin’s fresh wave of talent will be represented by DJ Gigola and Elli Acula.
The festival also welcomes live performances from Moritz Hofbauer, Julian Wassermann, and Deniz Bul as part of a special showcase by Boris Brejcha’s FCKNG SERIOUS label.
What to expect
Sonus Festival will once again take over the legendary Zrce Beach venues—Aquarius, Papaya, Kalypso, and Noa Beach Club. New for 2025, the Noa Beach Stage will debut, offering a unique experience where festivalgoers can dance and swim in the Adriatic waters simultaneously.
The iconic boat parties make their much-anticipated return, alongside exclusive afterparties and pop-up events that promise to keep the energy soaring well into the early hours. Beyond the festival grounds, adventure seekers can explore the vibrant town of Novalja, just minutes away, where adrenaline-fueled activities such as kayaking, bungee jumping, rock climbing, and windsurfing await.
Organising the festival is a collaboration between three major players in the industry: Time Warp, the pioneers of world-class electronic events; We Love Sound, the Balkans’ premier dance music curators; and Insomniac, the powerhouse behind the globally renowned EDC festivals.
Tickets & Accommodation
Attendees can choose from a variety of accommodation options when securing their festival tickets, with selections ranging from luxury villas and five-star hotels to glamping sites, apartments, and hostels.
Deposits start at €19 per person, with price increases scheduled after March 31. Flexible monthly installment plans are available until June 2025. The remaining Phase 1 tickets and accommodation packages are currently up for grabs via the festival website.
