The scene-leading Sonus Croatia is to take its 2025 festival experience to all new heights, as the first chapter of a new era in partnership with the world’s leading live events experience creator, Insomniac. Sonus’ lineup, revealed today, boasts its signature fusion of new school stars, legends, and tastemakers, amplified by the elements of adventure travel that make this one of the world’s most celebrated destination events. Insomniac brings its storied production expertise to the table to continue to elevate Sonus’ offerings, as it returns to the idyllic shores of Pag Island this August 17-21, 2025.
The 12th edition of Sonus will be the most ambitious yet, marking the coming together of heavyweight event producers Time Warp, with its thirty year tenure in genre-defining programming; We Love Sound, with 20 years as foremost electronic music tastemakers in the Balkans; and Insomniac. Best known for its flagship EDC events, and drawing on vast reserves of expertise in producing some of the best festivals on the planet, Insomniac now brings all that know-how to underground institution Sonus.
Stacked with new school stars and returning favourites, the Sonus 2025 lineup features the likes of Drumcode boss Adam Beyer, Berghain paragon Ben Klock, German duo FJAAK, Italian titan Joseph Capriati, the melodic sounds of ARTBAT and Deborah De Luca, and the hard-edged grooves of Spain’s Indira Paganotto. Trance and acid will be on display from DJ Heartstring and KI/KI, alongside off-kilter rave weapons from Filth on Acid label head Reinier Zonneveld live, the deft minimal of Ricardo Villalobos and Seth Troxler, and customary curveballs from Cocoon’s Sven Väth.
House and melodic sounds are catered for by the likes of Adriatique and Anetha, the organic depths of Saga duo Bedouin, and the new school beats of Ben Hemsley and Ben Sterling. Bass-heavy sounds from Fleur Shore and Gordo are featured alongside the floating melodies of Jan Blomqvist live, weighty cuts from Loco Dice, warehouse sounds from Mau P, progressive lushness from Miss Monique, hypnotic rollers from Vintage Culture, and a hybrid DJ set from WhoMadeWho, with many more to be announced.
Sonus Croatia 2025 will also see the return of the eminent Space Miami — a name synonymous with discerning electronic music curation and unrivalled afterhours — and LA’s Factory 93, known for its deferential homage to the spirit of the 90s underground, raw warehouse aesthetic, and the myriad spectrum of techno at its heart.
“In music and nature we trust” has always been the Sonus mantra, but so too has putting the music and sound systems first. Those simple values have earned Sonus a global reputation for quality experiences in the stunning locale of Novajla surrounded by the glistening Adriatic Sea. It’s a paradisiacal escape, where revellers can soak up the unique views, experience breathtaking sunrises and sunsets each day, and plot their own party adventure on the sand, out at sea, or under the stars. Sonus is produced by ravers for ravers, from the curation of the soundtrack to the superior production — the result is a picturesque blend of music, travel and culture, with a like-minded crowd of warm and welcoming people from the world over.
The stunning beachside open-air venues at the heart of the festival include Aquarius, Papaya, and Kalypso. Noa Beach Club, previously used as a sunrise afterparty venue for one night only, will also now be an integral part of the programme in 2025. Additionally, Sonus will introduce the Noa Beach Stage for this edition, creating the festival’s first stage environment on the sand in its twelve year history where attendees can swim and dance in the water all week long.
The infamous boat parties are back and in previous years have seen the likes of Archie Hamilton, Ellen Allien, Enzo Siragusa, Clara Cuvé, Paula Temple, and countless more all lay down varied and vital sets. 2025 will also see pop-up parties return in numbers, after Hector Oaks’ 2024 takeover at Tattva. Afterparties remain at the core of Sonus’ identity, and will return following 2024’s momentous Space Miami afters at Noa Beach Club.
Beyond the beats, there is an endless array of fun and adventure to be had at Sonus in and around the local area from authentic Croatian cuisine, to water sports, kayaking, rock climbing, quad bike hire, bungee jumping, wind and kite surfing, all just 10 minutes from the festival with a wide range of accommodation to suit all budgets.
Accommodation packages can be added to bookings following festival ticket tier selection, with options including villas, 5* hotels, hostels, glamping, and apartments. Booking deposits start from as little as €19 per person, with monthly payment installments scheduled up to June 2025.
