An essential date in the diary for any electronic adventurer, Sonus Festival is a pilgrimage for any true house and techno fan.

Between the 19th – 23rd August 2018, it’s five days and five nights of partying under the Croatian sky to the sounds of the globes premiere artists. Second tier tickets are priced at 179, and with transport and accommodation still available, there’s no reason not to get involved.

- DAY SPLITS -

Each day at Sonus Festival brings together top tier DJs, live acts, showcases and more to provide an unparalleled festival experience. Across the three arenas - Aquarius, Kalypso and Papaya, as well at boat parties and the daily beach jam, there’s so much to see across the five days.

SUNDAY: Starting proceedings on Sunday is a hefty line up across the three arenas - at Aquarius find Eats Everything, Len Faki, Nastia and Andrea Ljekaj, Amelie Lens, Pan-Pot and more at Kalypso, then a massive ‘SECRET SOCIETY’ session with Jackmaster, Jamie Jones B2B The Martinez Brothers and Yesh.

MONDAY: Resident Advisor host Aquarius Club on Monday, with Amelie Lens, Dana Ruh, Richie Hawtin, Rødhåd and Ryan Elliot - weighty! Other arenas see Adriatique, Ame, Dixon and more, plus a special FUSE Club Belgium party showcase with Len Faki. The same day Andrea Olivia and Marco Carola will play.

TUESDAY: Another strong day for the mid point of the festival, with Aquarius hosting Agoria, Boris Brejcha, Tale Of Us and plenty more, whilst Almighty UK promoters Junction 2 takeover Kalypso with a heavy-hitting bill of names - Adam Beyer, Charlotte De Witte, Dr Rubenstein and local selectors. Another unmissable showcase, Nordstern is a biggie - with Jackmaster, Peggy Gou and Loco Dice all aboard.

WEDNESDAY: Early doors catch Adam Beyer holding it down, then as sun falls Redimension host Joseph Capriati and Luigi Madonna at Aquarius.
