Defected Croatia returns to Garden Resort Tisno for its 11th year from August 7-13, 2026. As the flagship festival of the legendary Defected Records label, this week-long celebration of house music brings the authentic spirit of the label to Croatia's beautiful Adriatic coast.
The Defected Experience
What sets Defected Croatia apart is its no-VIP policy—everyone dances together, creating an authentic family atmosphere where the music is the star. The festival welcomes approximately 3,000 attendees, maintaining an intimate scale that prioritizes community over commercialization.
Venues & Stages
The festival utilizes four distinct spaces at Garden Resort:
- Beach Stage: Daytime sessions with Adriatic Sea views
- Main Stage: Evening and prime-time programming
- Olive Grove: Afternoon sets in natural surroundings
- Barbarella Discotheque: Late-night and after-hours venue
Musical Heritage
Founded by Defected Records in 2015, the festival embodies the label's 20+ year commitment to house music. Expect classic house, soulful vocals, disco influences, and contemporary house productions. Past editions have featured Louie Vega, Kenny Dope, Roger Sanchez, Sam Divine, Ferreck Dawn, CamelPhat, and many artists from the Defected roster.
Seven Days of House
Unlike typical festival weekends, Defected Croatia offers seven full days of programming, allowing attendees to fully immerse themselves in the house music culture while enjoying the Croatian summer.
