The festival has confirmed its exit from the marvelous country following the commemorative showdown. Since its debut edition in 2016, Defected Croatia has been offering a variety of genres like house, disco, Afro house, UKG, soul, funk, and more to thousands of its attendees in Tisno on the Adriatic Coast of Croatia. The 10 Years of Defected Croatia bash will be held at the Garden Resort in Tisno from **July 29 to August 3, 2026**. Defected Croatia sees a number of revelers from different parts of the world, like Mexico, Tibet, Brazil, Iceland, Venezuela, the US, Nairobi, and Australia. In 2025, the festival took place from July 30 to August 3 with music blasting across three stages and also featuring boat parties, wellbeing sessions, afterparties, secret pop-ups, and mind-bending performances from skillful artists pushing buttons behind the decks. Groove Armada played a DJ set, while English electronic music duo Gorgon City, ‘B.O.T.A. (Baddest of Them All)’ hitmaker Eliza Rose, Carl Craig, and Kitty Amor were on the artist card, alongside TSHA, Low Steppa, SG Lewis, Grammy-nominated Nic Fanciulli, Sam Divine, and more.

And the way we do our very best to deal with the most challenging of situations for you. Since our inaugural Defected Croatia Festival in 2016 our aim has been simply to provide quality programming for music lovers, and to improve the overall experience every year by truly listening to our community. I’d like to say we’ve continued to do that, and that’s another reason that there’ll be so much to celebrate next year,” [says](https://www.instagram.com/p/DM8GOIzsduc/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link) Wez Saunders, the CEO of Defected Records, via a statement shared on Instagram. “I look forward to seeing you again next summer.
