A celebration of sun, music and togetherness

Set against the backdrop of The Garden Resort in Tisno, Croatia, Dekmantel Selectors is a limited-capacity festival that has become an intimate and adventurous home away from home. It is a five-day, all-out celebration of community and connection, showcasing the sounds of the finest global DJs in a warm, blissed-out environment. During daylight hours, the festival unfolds at a stunning stretch of coastline beside the Adriatic Sea and at our somewhat legendary boat parties. When night falls, festival activities shift to the much-loved open-air club Barbarellas.

Bigger is not always better; in fact, some things flourish most when kept small. Over the years, it is this spirit that has driven Dekmantel Selectors. The festival unites the boundary-pushing sounds of the emerging and established artists we firmly believe in, a handful of stages, an intimate and curious crowd, and the breathtaking backdrop of Croatia's coastline. Maintaining these essentials, nothing more and nothing less, makes the pieces fall into place.

Secluded areas scattered across the terrain form the foundation from which a rich palette of sounds can emerge. During daytime, there are seaside soothers at the Beach Bar and immersive listening at the Magnolia. As the sun starts to dissolve into the water, there is Voodoo's deep frenzy, earth-shaking experiments at The Nest and waterside euphoria at the Beach Main. Together, these areas provide the perfect amount of sonic wandering.

The action does not end at The Garden. Each edition we set sail for a string of our illustrious boat parties, captained by clubs, radio stations, record labels, crews and collectives operating at the forefront of our scene. Nocturnal dancers find refuge at Barbarella's Discotheque, the moon-lit club where sets stretch till sunrise. And our island party takes some of the line-up's most revered names to a remote spot for unexpected new heights.
