Ultra Europe

With less than two and a half months until it kicks off, Europe’s ultimate summer paradise, Destination ULTRA – Croatia Music Week, is shaping up to be one for the record books as it announces a slew of celebrated acts set to perform across the week.

Additional Phase Two support comes from Adventure Club, Apollonia, Technasia, Thomas Jack and Vicetone. View the full Phase Two Lineup here.

The Destination ULTRA week has a real RESISTANCE™ feel to it this year, with things starting in style on Thursday, July 14 at the Giraffe Palm Beach House with a RESISTANCE™ themed Opening Party that will be headlined by UMEK and some of his 1605 Music Therapy label mates. View the Destination ULTRA Resistance™ Lineups here.

Don Diablo and Robin Schulz take the reigns at ULTRA Beach the next day on July 19, with support from Sam Feldt, as Ultranauts head to the idyllic Island of Hvar.
