During July and August, The Garden Resort in Tisno will once again be one of Europe’s most important destinations for electronic music and festival tourism. In just two summer months, as many as eight internationally recognized festivals will take place at one of the most famous festival locations in the Mediterranean, bringing more than 40,000 visitors to Croatia from around the world.
Tisno will live to the rhythm of house, techno, drum ’n’ bass, disco, bass culture, and underground electronic music this summer as well, and some of the biggest global DJ names and festival brands of today will pass through The Garden Resort. In addition to the festival stages by the sea, an indispensable part of the experience will once again be the legendary boat parties to Kornati and theMurter archipelago, as well as the cult afterparties at Barbarella’s Discotheque, a club that has gained an almost mythical status among festivalgoers over the years.
