With over 145,000 fans from more than 120 countries, ULTRA Europe has once again cemented its place among Europe’s top-tier electronic music festivals. The 11th edition of this internationally renowned event transformed Split and its surrounding islands into the epicenter of global dance music, combining cutting-edge production with a world-class lineup and unforgettable experiences.
A Global Stage in the Heart of the Adriatic
Over seven electrifying days, ULTRA Europe celebrated not only music but unity, culture, and innovation. The Destination ULTRA concept extended beyond the main festival grounds at Park Mladeži, bringing iconic parties to Bol, Milna, and Vis, as well as numerous boat events that showcased Croatia’s natural beauty in a whole new light. For the first time in festival history, Croatian fans led attendance numbers—followed by visitors from Spain, the USA (which saw the biggest increase year-over-year), the UK, France, Germany, Australia, Norway, and Poland—proving ULTRA Europe’s growing connection with both local and global audiences.
An Unforgettable Lineup of the World’s Top DJs
ULTRA Europe 2025 brought the biggest names in electronic music to one stage. Legends like Carl Cox and Solomun delivered extended three-hour sets under the RESISTANCE banner, sending underground fans into ecstasy. The main stage lit up with electrifying performances from Armin van Buuren, Martin Garrix, Alesso, Tiësto, Hardwell, Steve Angello, John Summit, Artbat, MRAK, Amelie Lens, and many more.
Musical exclusives defined the weekend, including the world premiere B2B set from Adam Beyer and Mau P, a surprise appearance by Martin Garrix during Alesso’s set, and the global debut of their collaboration “Inside Our Hearts” a track whose official music video was filmed live at the festival. This emotionally charged tribute captured ULTRA Europe’s unique energy and will stand as a milestone in electronic music video production.
Raising the Bar in Production and Safety
ULTRA Europe continues to push boundaries in live event production. This year’s main stage towered 23 meters high and stretched 72 meters wide, illuminated by over 580 m² of LED screens. The RESISTANCE structure impressed with 120 motorized units and 135 m² of LED panels, forming a massive kinetic installation. Over the course of three days, fans witnessed more than an hour of pyrotechnics, including 2,400 pyrotechnic effects and 1,800 liters of flame effects—all executed using “no debris” technology for optimal safety.
Despite its massive scale, ULTRA Europe recorded only four hospital transports over three days, highlighting the high standards of safety and coordination among security, medical, and operations teams.
Islands Transformed into Global Stages
The Destination ULTRA experience continued to redefine the music tourism scene, with the new venue Olife Beach in Milna making a particularly strong impression. Surrounded by natural beauty, the venue fused Mediterranean vibes with festival energy, offering fans a truly immersive experience. One of the standout moments came when Afrojack arrived two hours early for his ULTRA Beach set, broadcasting live to his global fanbase and flooding social media with the spirit of the Croatian coast.
A Festival That Moves the World and Croatia
As Croatia’s largest international music event, ULTRA Europe showcases the synergy of music, tourism, and innovation. With the continued support of the Croatian National Tourist Board, the festival is not only an entertainment juggernaut but also a driver of cultural and economic growth. From iconic DJ sets to the cinematic aftermovies viewed by millions worldwide, ULTRA Europe brings the pulse of Split to screens across the planet.
