CAPETOWN. MIAMI. LONDON. MONTEGO BAY. ACCRA

Praised for its inclusive atmosphere and world class production, year-on-year the festival curates a diverse line-up of dance music greats to play across three festival stages, daily boat parties plus infamous afterparty venue Barbarella’s. Described by Mixmag as, ‘an ecstatic, extravagant spectacle,’ every year the line-up features several first-time appearances, as well as rising stars, underground favourites, and the scene’s most-loved pioneers. 

Going beyond a traditional festival offering, Defected Croatia offers an impressive wellness programme, with daily yoga classes and mindfulness sessions to balance out late nights on the dancefloor. With the presence of our iconic dancers, surprise stage takeovers, and on-site DStore popup, it truly is the highlight of every house head’s calendar.

Creating experiences is an art. Whether you’re launching a new idea to share your passion with the world, or maybe you’re taking your business to the next level.

It’s a celebration of everything we love from beautiful people to culture to food, and of course MUSIC! Our fave artists and DJs in  Afrobeats, Amapiano, Hip Hop, RnB, Dancehall and more, coming together for the ultimate experience.
