The second edition of Terminal V Croatia has wrapped up, and what an incredible event it was. Held at the iconic Garden Resort in Tisno, the 2025 festival marked a significant leap forward for the brand’s international chapter, doubling attendance from its debut year and cementing its place on the global electronic music map.
Over five days and nights, thousands of music lovers from across Europe, Australia, Asia and beyond descended on the Adriatic coast for an unforgettable blend of cutting-edge music, pristine natural surroundings, and immersive production. With standout sets from X Club, I Hate Models, BLK, Yanamaste, Kettama, Dax J, Mall Grab, Vendex + Kobosil, Terminal V Croatia delivered an expertly curated lineup across sun-drenched beach stages, sold out twilight boat parties, and legendary afterparties at the open-air Barbarella’s Discotheque.
“The turning point for Terminal V came when we realised just how much appetite there was, not just in Scotland, but internationally. The need for a bold, well-curated line up that spans the spectrum of techno and contemporary electronic music,” said Derek Martin. “Croatia felt like the natural next step, but it had to be the right fit. The Garden Resort stood out immediately: idyllic , intimate, and set against one of the most beautiful backdrops in Europe.”
After a successful debut in 2024, returning to Tisno was an easy decision. With a year of learning behind them, organisers fine-tuned every aspect, from the flow and site layout to the overall production, elevating the experience while staying true to the environment that makes The Garden so special. “The energy this year was next-level,” said Simon McGrath. “The local and regional support, especially from the Croatian crowd, has been incredible. There’s a real scene here, and it’s growing.”
The contrast between Terminal V’s industrial Scottish roots and the laid-back coastal setting of Tisno has added a new dimension to the brand. “Scotland brings unmatched intensity, but in Croatia, there’s this magic, the crowd is in the moment, the vibe is relaxed but still euphoric, especially during those sunrise sets at Barbarella’s. One moment that really stuck with us was watching the sky turn pink as the music kept rolling and the dancefloor stayed packed. That’s the kind of memory that defines a festival.” adds Derek.
With its focus on community, curation, and high-level production, Terminal V continues to evolve far beyond just another festival brand. The launch of a record label and year-round podcast series keeps the connection with fans alive long after playing the final track.
Looking ahead, Terminal V has no plans of slowing down in Croatia. “This is a long-term chapter. We see Tisno becoming a cornerstone of our story, not just as a summer destination, but as part of the cultural fabric of European electronic music. We’re here to stay, we are looking to expand more internationally and we’re only just getting started.” Derek and Simon, the founders, add.
