Sonus Festival 2018

Following a mammoth fifth birthday last year, Sonus is back for its sixth outing in 2018. 5 days and nights of unrivalled partying between 19th – 23rd August set in the hedonistic paradise of Zrce Beach, Sonus boasts its most thrilling lineup to date. Underground music lovers from around the globe will descend once again on the idyllic Zrce Beach, Croatia for a one of a kind adventure combining impeccable beaches, world-class calibre of artists and unbeatable programming under the sun.

Adding to the spectacular line up, with the likes of Archie Hamilton, Boris Brejcha, Craig Richards and Rossko, Sonus Festival is pleased to announce a second wave of artists, including many Sonus debuts. The line-up brings together a monumental list of acts from each corner of the globe, alongside legends of the local Croatian circuit, making it the go-to house and techno party this summer. Standard tickets are available to buy from www.sonus-festival.com, from €179 - act fast as Early Bird and Tier 1 have already sold out!

With an incredible bill of international heavyweights, Sonus have pulled out all the stops for their most impressive bill to date - and the newest additions are massive. Across Aquarius, Kalypso and Papaya, there’ll be over 40 artists playing including many debuts, led by two exclusive live performances by Stephan Bodzin and Johannes Brecht. Fabric legend Craig Richards and FuseLondon-resident Rossko will bring their distinctive blend of techno and house, in addition to a highly anticipated first appearance by Italian DJ icon Ralf. Digby, Italian DJ Skizzo and Romanian all-star Cezar add more groove to the lineup, whilst Dr. Rubinstein and Boris Brejcha bring uncompromised techno to the Adriatic coast.

Welcomed back to Sonus Festival’s stages with open arms The Martinez Brothers as well as Swiss Nordstern-Resident Andrea Oliva. FuseLondon legend Archie Hamilton brings his expert selections to the dance, as favourite leading lady Cassy. The Croatian scene will be represented by none other than Mariano Mateljan, who is joined by an array of local heroes of the likes of Andrea Ljekaj, Felver, Marina Karamarko, Groovyman, Kristijan Molnar and Yesh.

All this on top of the already announced acts including Adam Beyer, Jamie Jones, Joseph Capriati, Maceo Plex, Marco Carola, Pan-Pot, Richie Hawtin, Ricardo Villalobos, Solomun, Sven Väth to techno ladies Amelie Lens, Charlotte de Witte, Nastia and more. Still to be announced are stage breakdowns, the infamously wild after hour parties, and legendary boat parties.

Year on year, Sonus partners up with the hottest clubbing institutes the world round for infamous showcases. After joining forces with Junction 2 and Movement in 2017, both brands are back for 2018.
