The tenth edition of Defected Croatia at The Garden Tisno in 2026 will be its last at the site. Coined One Last Dance by us, we can promise the final chapter will be the most magical yet.
Running from 29 July until the early hours of 3 August, over 5000 international house heads will head to The Garden Resort in Tisno for an unforgettable five-day festival experience, with the all-star line-up celebrating house music’s very best and the festival’s decorated history. We can now reveal the first phase of artists joining us for One Last Dance.
“Croatia 2026 marks our final edition in Tisno, and we’re closing this chapter with intention. This year’s programme pairs iconic pioneers with an exciting wave of debuts, reflecting both our history and our future. House music has always evolved through new voices, and this line-up embodies that spirit.” – Wez Saunders, CEO, Defected Records
To make a splash for the final edition, we are bringing a host of artists to the festival for the first time ever including Seth Troxler, DJ EZ, Krystal Klear, Joëlla Jackson, Jeremy Sylvester, Jonas Blue, Laidlaw, Gerd Janson and more TBA.
The line-up also profiles future stars of the genre, including 2FOX (Live), Ella Knight, Lev, MiNNA, Isaac Carter and L.P. Rhythm. They’ll be joined by artists from the first ever Defected Croatia in 2016 such as Dennis Ferrer, Sam Divine and Purple Disco Machine, culminating in a full circle moment for the festival’s decade long tenure.
A triumph of the 2025 edition, David Rodigan MBE will also return to Tisno in August. New stage takeovers from London club giants Modern Funktion and newcomer soulful house afisciandos In The Loop offer a new layer of programming to the event, as we spotlight the young talent within our label team.
Other fan favourites returning for One Last Dance include Moodymann, Jayda G, Floorplan, TSHA and Horse Meat Disco.
Across the beloved three stages at The Garden, boat parties and official afterparties at Barbarella’s, pioneers of the house and electronic scene join rising artists for what is sure to be an unforgettable send off for the beloved fesitval.
Following last year’s success, the tenth edition of the award-winning festival promises to bring a host of new surprises to close out the flagship event in style, stay tuned for wellbeing sessions, secret parties, live giveaways and a full schedule of hotly anticipated boat parties.
