The scene-leading Sonus Croatia is to take its 2025 festival experience to all new heights, as the first chapter of a new era in partnership with the world’s leading live events experience creator, Insomniac. Sonus’ lineup, revealed today, boasts its signature fusion of new school stars, legends, and tastemakers, amplified by the elements of adventure travel that make this one of the world’s most celebrated destination events. Insomniac brings its storied production expertise to the table to continue to elevate Sonus’ offerings, as it returns to the idyllic shores of Pag Island this August 17-21, 2025.
The 12th edition of Sonus will be the most ambitious yet, marking the coming together of heavyweight event producers Time Warp, with its thirty year tenure in genre-defining programming; We Love Sound, with 20 years as foremost electronic music tastemakers in the Balkans; and Insomniac. Best known for its flagship EDC events, and drawing on vast reserves of expertise in producing some of the best festivals on the planet, Insomniac now brings all that know-how to underground institution Sonus.
Stacked with new school stars and returning favourites, the Sonus 2025 lineup features the likes of Drumcode boss Adam Beyer, Berghain paragon Ben Klock, German duo FJAAK, Italian titan Joseph Capriati, the melodic sounds of ARTBAT and Deborah De Luca, and the hard-edged grooves of Spain’s Indira Paganotto. Trance and acid will be on display from DJ Heartstring and KI/KI, alongside off-kilter rave weapons from Filth on Acid label head Reinier Zonneveld live, the deft minimal of Ricardo Villalobos and Seth Troxler, and customary curveballs from Cocoon’s Sven Väth.
House and melodic sounds are catered for by the likes of Adriatique and Anetha, the organic depths of Saga duo Bedouin, and the new school beats of Ben Hemsley and Ben Sterling. Bass-heavy sounds from Fleur Shore and Gordo are featured alongside the floating melodies of Jan Blomqvist live, weighty cuts from Loco Dice, warehouse sounds from Mau P, progressive lushness from Miss Monique, hypnotic rollers from Vintage Culture, and a hybrid DJ set from WhoMadeWho, with many more to be announced.
Sonus Croatia 2025 will also see the return of the eminent Space Miami — a name synonymous with discerning electronic music curation and unrivalled afterhours — and LA’s Factory 93, known for its deferential homage to the spirit of the 90s underground, raw warehouse aesthetic, and the myriad spectrum of techno at its heart.
