Thousands of guests from all over the world, many of them from Australia, have arrived at The Garden Resort in Tisno. They have exchanged their winter for Croatian summer to attend the first edition of the widely known Balance Festival, which is making its European debut.
The festival takes place from 7th to 11th August 2025, with a special pre-party on the beach and a launch performance by Deep Dish and Khen at Barbarella’s Discotheque last night, 7th August. This performance marks the return of the legendary DJ duo Deep Dish to the Croatian scene after 19 years since Ali “Dubfire” Shirazinia and Sharam Tayebi, better known as Deep Dish, last performed in Croatia.
Deep Dish are pioneers who shaped the sound of electronic music in the late 90s and early 2000s. Their iconic album Junk Science (1998) launched them into stardom, and George Is On (2005) cemented their status with global anthems like Say Hello, Dreams and Flashdance. Years have passed, but their music never gets old. In fact, their work was recently remastered and released on streaming services, and the duo signed a deal with the renowned label Armada Music.
The Balance Music label’s wish is to celebrate 25 years of presence at the top of progressive music with a festival that offers an intimate blend of underground culture and top production. The long-awaited Balance Croatia Festival, which sold out weeks ago, will feature over 50 world-renowned artists from the progressive and melodic house scene, including: Sasha & John Digweed, Nick Warren, Eelke Kleijn, Hernán Cattáneo, James Zabiela, Patrice Bäumel and many more.
The festival is held in partnership with the renowned The Garden Productions, and The Garden Resort that hosts various renowned festivals each summer. The final daily tickets for citizens of Croatia and the region can be purchased on the link .
