THE GARDEN RESORT, TISNO, CROATIA
Defected Croatia 2017 is taking shape and festival-goers from around the world are preparing for six days of house hedonism on the Adriatic. A third wave of world-class talent has now been added, joining official festival partners Glitterbox, Mixmag, Traxsource, Objektivity and D-Vine Sounds on the stages and boat parties, day and night, across the week.
With last year’s incredible Croatia moments in mind, Simon Dunmore and the Defected team have carefully curated and selected a vast programme of DJs, with latest announced artists Claptone, Amine Edge & Dance, Session Victim, Ninetoes, Folamour, Melvo Baptiste, Armless Kid, Aeroplane and Kiddy Smile.
These new names join the ranks alongside Kenny Dope, Derrick Carter, Basement Jaxx (DJ set), Monki, Low Steppa and Nightmares On Wax plus many, many more. These artists will feature on the Main Stage, heating things up at the Beach, setting sail on daily boat parties and playing through the night at the legendary Barbarella’s night club (full stage line-ups will be released further into the year).
Defected Croatia’s full programme, including daily boat party line-ups, curated stages, lilo parties, BBQs and pop-ups will be announced soon. For more information check out the Defected Croatia website.
Onsite accommodation is now sold out, with the exception of ‘Glamping Tents’, luxury bell tents which sleep up to four people with an outdoor terraced seating area. Cosy but spacious and the perfect option for comfort on a budget, festival-goers can book now with The Garden Resort to secure there places onsite. Alternatively, Tisno is a short walk from the festival with plenty of affordable apartments and hotels. ‘Glamping Tents’ are booked via The Garden Resort website.
ABOUT THE GARDEN RESORT
With its superb sunshine record and a wide range of accommodation options, The Garden Resort is a truly unique setting. More than a music festival, Defected Croatia is a holiday in itself, with a range of venues running across the six days.
The Main Stage will showcase headline artists from around the globe and is set in a tree-lined area of parkland just a short stroll away from the shores of the Adriatic. With waves lapping right up to the dancefloor and stunning views out to the islands, the Beach Stage provides a magical experience for DJs and festival-goers alike.
The legendary outdoor nightclub Barbarella’s Discotheque gives revellers the chance to experience what is today an almost unique opportunity: to dance under the stars until sunrise. Finally, twice-daily boat parties will be hosted aboard the good ship, Argonaughty, an infamous old wooden vessel that will play host to unforgettable parties afloat.
A true slice of paradise in Croatia, the Garden Resort in Tisno combines azure Adriatic waters, shimmering sandy beaches, guaranteed sunshine, exquisite sunsets and star-lit night skies that make for a fantastic festival setting as well as a completely viable summer holiday alternative.
Beyond its outstanding beauty, Croatia is also extremely affordable – accommodation, food and drink represent excellent value for money. Served by two airports with flights originating from over 50 cities around Europe, the Garden Resort is also highly accessible and there’s an extensive range of on-site accommodation from the more exotic – luxurious Airstreams, traditional Shikar tents or even yachts – in addition to well-presented apartments and DIY camping facilities. There’s also varied offsite accommodation options to suit all budgets.
Located just a short walk or water taxi ride from the historic old town of Tisno, with its waterside bars, cafés and restaurants, the Defected Croatia site has both a true festival ‘feel’ and retains an intimacy so often missing from many contemporary electronic music festivals.
