Sunshine, crystal-clear waters, dancing by the shore, and thousands of electronic music fans from across the globe marked the start of the biggest edition of the Terminal V Croatia festival to date. The Scottish festival brand once again transformed Tisno and The Garden Resort into one of the most exciting hotspots on the European electronic music scene, where techno rhythms merged seamlessly with the unique ambiance of the Adriatic.
From the early afternoon, the beach and festival stages were filled with thousands of attendees from over 85 countries, spending the opening days of the festival alternating between swimming in the sea, dancing in the sunshine, boat parties, and evening performances on open-air stages. Fueled by the signature energy of the Terminal V community, Tisno once again became a gathering place for electronic music lovers from Scotland, Australia, Europe, North America, and many other parts of the world.
“The atmosphere right from the festival’s opening has exceeded all our expectations. It is incredible to see thousands of people from all over the world dancing together by the Adriatic. That is exactly what Terminal V Croatia is all about – top-tier electronic music, a spectacular location, and a community of people united by the same energy. Every year, we are reminded once again what a special place Tisno is for a festival like this,” says festival co-founder Derek Martin.
This unique atmosphere has once again demonstrated why Terminal V Croatia has become one of the most sought-after boutique techno festivals in Europe in recent years. The blend of world-class electronic music, the beach, pine forests, sunsets, and impressive production creates an experience hard to find anywhere else on the European festival circuit.
The start of the festival was also marked by bold festival outfits. From minimalist black techno ensembles to striking colors, mesh details, futuristic accessories, and statement sunglasses, attendees once again showed that Terminal V Croatia is much more than just a music festival. The combination of electronic music, a Mediterranean setting, and freedom of expression has created the distinctive atmosphere that has made Terminal V one of Europe’s most memorable summer festivals.
This year’s edition features the biggest and most diverse lineup to date, with over 100 artists. The program is headlined by some of the electronic scene’s biggest names—such as Ben Klock, Len Faki, Interplanetary Criminal, SPFDJ, Daria Kolosova, Southstar, 999999999, Ellen Allien, Héctor Oaks, Patrick Mason, KiNK, Charlie Sparks, Trym, Hannah Laing, and many others—performing across five days on the Main Stage, Beach Stage, Olive Grove, and at the legendary Barbarella’s Discotheque.
“What makes Terminal V Croatia special isn’t just the music; it’s the people. As you walk through the festival, you hear dozens of different languages, yet everyone shares the same energy. That is exactly the kind of international community we always wanted to create in Tisno, and it is wonderful to see it grow year after year,” notes co-founder Simon McGrath.
“I’ve been to many festivals across Europe, but this is something completely different. You wake up by the sea, dance in the sunshine all day, meet people from all over the world, and then, in the evening, you’re treated to top-notch techno under the stars. It’s not just about the music here; it’s about a sense of freedom and togetherness. I think I’ve found my favorite festival, and I’ll definitely be back next year,” said Martha from Germany, who traveled to Tisno with friends specifically for Terminal V Croatia.
The festival takes place across four open-air stages within The Garden Resort, while numerous boat parties, sunset sessions, and sunrise after-parties create a unique experience that blends an Adriatic holiday with world-class electronic music. A special charm is added to this year’s edition by the attendees themselves, who have arrived in Tisno from all corners of the globe, confirming that Terminal V Croatia has become a must-visit summer gathering spot for electronic music lovers.
