As the winter chill deepens, for those looking to follow the heat and escape the cold Balance Croatia offers intrepid travellers and music lovers alike a feast for the senses.
With a stacked line-up including the reformed Deep Dish and SOS (Desyn, Omid, Demi) alongside breaks legends Stanton Warriors and Adam Freeland as well as heroes of the scene James Zabiela, Patrice Bäumel and Just Her, the inaugural Balance Croatia will be home to 5,000 revellers enjoying three stages across three days and nights.With lavish servings of progressive and melodic house, breaks, breakbeat, techno and cutting edge electronic music, Balance Croatia takes place at The Garden Resort in Tisno (in southern Croatia) from 8-11 August, 2025.
Other notable additions to the line-up include OGs Sasha, John Digweed, and Nick Warren as well as rising stars Fish56Octagon, Budakid, Redfreya, and Miss Melera.
The festival has proven popular with only final release tickets available for three-day passes, while daily tickets still remain. "We're really excited to announce the second phase of artists to what is already an extraordinary line-up," Tom Pandzic, founder of Balance says.
"The balance between the next generation of quality acts along with legendary names, is what makes this festival so special.
"With quite possibly the best overall line-up the scene has ever witnessed in one place, we might also have the best ever crowd that will gather from all around the globe to make Balance Croatia one of the most memorable festivals in 2025."
The event's location is simply a match made in heaven, whether at The Yard Stage with its incredible visuals, the Beach Stage dancing on the sand (and in the sea as many do), or amongst the trees at the much-treasured Olive Grove Stage. There'll also be pre-parties, a beach party and Deep Dish & Khen after-party.
"The Balance Series has had a massive influence on me as a DJ and producer and getting an opportunity to celebrate their amazing legacy is a dream come true. Can't be more excited for this summer," declares Khen.
Australian DJ-producer Just Her ('Follow You Down', 'All We Have Is Now') is ready to commence the rave. "Croatia is always a magical place for electronic music and Balance is sure to provide the perfect soundtrack," Just Her says. "To be playing on this line-up with such a wealth of stellar artists is an absolute honour and I can't wait to be raving in the sunshine with everyone."
Adds Nick Warren: "I'm really excited to bring The Soundarden family to the first-ever Balance festival in Croatia, where we will be hosting our stage with an incredible line-up. The whole weekend looks amazing, and we can't wait!"
While Canadian-based, Chilean-born DJ-producer Simply City shares: "Playing at Balance Festival is an absolute dream come true! Balance is a true cornerstone of electronic music culture, celebrated for its timeless, boundary-pushing mixes, so a festival with this amazing line-up feels like the proper next step.
"This festival is a celebration of everything I love about music: connection, creativity, enthusiasm and the power of sound to bring people together. There are so many friends playing in the same place that is like a one big family reunion, for sure will be something historical.
"As someone who's spent years crafting a sound and sharing it across the globe, I'm thrilled to bring that energy to such an iconic event. I can't wait to share an unforgettable past-preset-future journey with Balance in the beautiful Croatia!"
