On site

The new site has maintained all of the elements from previous years: The Beach Stage with Funktion 1 system. The Main Stage is slightly bigger in capacity than previously and is now set in a tree lined area of parkland in the centre of the site. The Garden Tisno has its very own dock so those embarking on the twice daily boat parties can walk from Main Stage to boat easily. Barbarellas Discotheque is perhaps the biggest change now offering room for everyone to dance in the warm moonlit night to their favourite DJs until the early hours.

Accommodation

Within the festival site itself and built up on the hills overlooking the bay is a small onsite apartment village and luxury boutique camping for those who want to be as close to the action as possible. There are also hotels, campsites, apartments and villas and even boats all within close proximity to the festival site.

Getting there

Tisno is located 45km south of Zadar airport and 65km north of Split airport.

Please note this is an over 18s only event.
