Scene
When you talk about Zagreb’s electronic music history, you cannot avoid Future Sound of Zagreb. Since 1999, the festival has been a point of reference for the city’s clubbing community – shaping its sound, connecting generations of DJs, and bringing people together on the dancefloor. This year, the story continues with a special anniversary edition: 26 years celebrated with 26 DJs, across three days and three unique events at Boogaloo Club.
From 2-4 October 2025, the festival returns with the theme “Electronic Odyssey”, underlining what FSOZ has always been about – a journey through sound, diversity, and community. The program mixes established regional names with new talents whose time is coming, creating a lineup that reflects both legacy and future.
The Program
Day 1 / Thursday, 2 October – Conference
FSOZ 2025 opens with a conference in collaboration with Rejvitalizacija and Mixmag Adria. Through two panel discussions, the evening will tackle questions of local club culture, the role of DJs and producers, and how the scene adapts to new challenges. Moderated by Tena Šarčević (Rejvitalizacija) and Arsen Pavešić (Mixmag Adria), the talks invite reflection on where Zagreb’s scene stands today and where it might head next. Entry is free!
Day 2 / Friday, 3 October – United ZG Collectives
Friday is dedicated to Zagreb’s collectives, who join forces for the first time under the title “United ZG Collectives”. Expect four back-to-back sets from crews including FAKAT fajn, UMC, Rejvnesansa, and Underground D.O.O. – representing the city’s vibrant grassroots and collaborative spirit.
Day 3 / Saturday, 4 October – Grand Finale
The closing night is the most ambitious part of the program: two rooms, 16 domestic artists, and international guests. The big room features a heavy lineup including Ivan Komlinović B2B Mozer, Shipe B2B Ska, Petar Dundov, Dejan Milićević, Insolate, and Fabian Jakopetz B2B Jean-Marie Koné. Meanwhile, the small room shines a spotlight on diversity and groove, with Egzotika DJs, Marcela, PEZNT, Tom Bug B2B Grooveline, Einfakinn, and Yakka B2B Kosta Radman.
Future Sound of Zagreb has never been just another club festival. It has served as a platform for local DJs, a testing ground for new projects, and a place where the city’s nightlife finds both continuity and reinvention. By putting Croatian and regional names at the center, FSOZ underlines the importance of supporting the scene from within.
This year’s edition shows that after more than two decades, the festival still knows how to stay relevant – by mixing history with what’s coming next, and by staying true to its community.
Tickets are available via Entrio, with separate passes for Friday and Saturday.
The program is supported by the Ministry of Culture and Media of Croatia, alongside partners Mixmag Adria, Rejvitalizacija, and Croatian RAVE Nation.
