Today, the house music tastemakers at Defected Records have announced the first wave of artists set to play the label’s hallmark summer festival in Croatia next year.
Defected Croatia will return to The Garden Resort in Tisno from August 1-4, 2024, where a collection of “rising stars, underground favorites, and the scene’s most-loved pioneers” will soundtrack a stellar long weekend on the Adriatic Coast.
Notable acts on the 48-strong phase-one roster include Purple Disco Machine, Carl Craig, Ben Westbeech (Live), Arielle Free, Catz ‘N’ Dogz, Horse Meat Disco, and many more.
Further label favorites like Sam Divine, Riva Starr, Melé, Ferreck Dawn, and Oden & Fatzo (Live) will also be on hand as Defected celebrates house music’s global influence with over 5,000 house heads from all around the world.
Even more acts will be announced in the coming months before the final lineup tops out at over 80 different artists.
Hailed for its “inclusive atmosphere and world-class production,” Defected Croatia will again offer three different stages—including one directly on the beach—in addition to daily boat parties and marathon afterparties at Croatian clubbing hotspot, Barbarella’s Discotheque.
Check out the complete phase one lineup below. Only 40 percent of passes for Defected Croatia 2024 remain, so fans will want to act fast and grab their tickets here.
