Dekmantel Selectors returns to the Adriatic coast from August 19 to August 23, 2027. Following the tenth anniversary edition in 2026, the Amsterdam organisation brings five days of electronic music to The Garden Resort in Tisno, Croatia. You reach the site through regional transit links from Zadar or Split airport, with route advice available via the Croatia National Tourist Board.
The 2027 schedule prioritises long sets, collaborative pairings, and live club hardware across five distinct zones within the resort grounds. Beach Bar and Magnolia handle daytime shifts beside the water. As darkness falls, Voodoo, The Nest, and Beach Main take over the programming. Outside the main resort, dancers travel to Barbarellas Discotheque for open-air sessions running directly through the night until sunrise.
Several notable selectors form new collaborative pairings for the 2027 run. Shonky joins Call Super for a debut back-to-back set. Vera plays alongside Konduku, while Rush Hour founder Antal invites Brazilian vinyl archivist DJ Paulão to share the booth. Following summer appearances at Lentekabinet and the flagship Dekmantel event, Benny Rodrigues and Seth Troxler join the Tisno roster for the first time. The curation also features Dave Huismans, EMA, Ottagone, BAMBII, and Quelza. Live performances expand the sound palette, featuring Príncipe Discos project O Ghettão, Paranoid London, local producer DAV, and Makam presenting The Archive.
Extended playing times shape the key moments of the weekend. Vladimir Ivkovic commands an all-day selector session, while Peach and Shanti Celeste run a continuous five-hour set. Job Jobse pairs with Palms Trax for the traditional Monday program on the coast. Early morning sunrise sessions feature Jane Fitz as well as Freddy K performing alongside Blasha & Allatt. Marcel Dettmann and Ryan Elliott conclude the beach stage schedule.
Beyond the shoreline, daily boat parties leave the marina throughout the week. Curators include New York venue Nowadays, Music From Memory, Potato Head, Zagreb club Peti Kupe, Export Rotterdam, Bucharest space Platforma Wolff, and Lisbon label Príncipe Discos. Returning hosts include Rush Hour, HAMAM Nights, and TraTraTrax.
You purchase standard festival passes now through the official Dekmantel Selectors tickets portal. The production team will release boat party passes separately closer to August.
