Croatia’s most iconic electronic music festival, Sonus Croatia, returns in 2025 with its most ambitious edition yet. Set against the stunning backdrop of Pag Island from August 17–21, the festival enters its 12th year with renewed energy, an expanded venue experience. Phase 2 of the lineup has recently been released, adding even more firepower to an already elite roster of global artists.
Organized by the powerhouse trio of Time Warp, We Love Sound, and Insomniac Events,Sonus Croatia continues to push boundaries with its genre-spanning programming, beachfront parties, and next-level production. The newly announced Phase 2 lineup brings a fresh wave of world-class talent to the shores of Pag Island. Joining the bill are tech house heavyweight and Ibiza resident Andrea Olivaand legendary techno figure andCLR label boss Chris Liebing. A very special back-to-back performance from Joseph Capriati and Seth Troxler presenting an inspired union of Italian and Detroit styles. Rising house star Josh Baker, known for dynamic, groove-heavy sets, will also be on the lineup. Cosmic tech and house DJ Sweely, who has a unique French twist style of sound, will grace the decks, plus Serbia’s leading export for genre-blending selections, TijanaT, will also be on the bill. More artists, including techno firepower from Klangkuenstler, Lilly Palmer, and Marco Faraone. Also,next-generation Berlin talents DJ Gigola and Elli Acula.

This new wave joins an already stacked lineup from Phase 1, promising one of the most dynamic Sonus editions to date. This year also welcomes unique stage partners that reflect the festival’s international flavor. London’s Enzo Siragusa will headline a FUSE stage takeover, curating a journey through dubby minimal and UK-influenced house. Other standout collaborations include Basel's iconic club Nordstern, Miami’s infamous Club Space, and LA’s underground forefront Factory 93. Each will bring their own energy, crowd, and curation style, making every stage at Sonus a unique experience.
Beyond the dancefloors, Sonus is a complete summer escape. Festivalgoers can expect the return of the legendary boat parties, sunrise afterparties, and beachside pop-up events. With venues like Aquarius Club, Kalypso, Papaya, and the brand-new Noa Beach Stage. Which lets attendees swim and rave in the water, 2025 introduces an unmatched fusion of music and the sea. Novalja, just minutes from the action, offers a wealth of adventures: from windsurfing, kayaking, and rock climbing to fine dining, local culture, and laid-back beach life.
