The festival madness returns to Zrće! Twice as many audiences and an even richer program await you at the second edition of Verknipt Croatia!

Zrće Beach on the island of Pag will once again host one of the most anticipated electronic music events in Europe this summer. Following last year’s explosive debut, the Verknipt Croatia Holiday Festival returns in an even more ambitious edition – with more performers, stronger production, and greater global interest. From June 29 to July 3, 2025, Pag will pulse to the rhythm of hard techno and techno, with twice as many visitors expected compared to last year.

The organizers are announcing 50 performers across multiple stages, visually striking scenography, improved logistics, and a new level of overall festival experience. Special attention has been given to better connectivity between festival zones, upgraded lighting, higher-quality sound, and a spatial layout that follows the natural flow of movement and audience energy. During the day, between DJ sets, visitors will be able to take part in sports activities and social games, further enhancing the sense of community and the dynamic festival atmosphere.

“WE TOOK ALL THE FEEDBACK FROM LAST YEAR SERIOUSLY AND WORKED HARD TO IMPROVE EVERY ASPECT OF THE EVENT”

This year’s lineup brings together some of the leading names in the European techno and hard dance scene, including SHLØMO, 6EJOU, Adriån Mills, Basswell, Anxhela, Alignment, Novah, and many others. Festivalgoers can expect nights that will be talked about for a long time, with a special highlight being the new stage at the iconic Papaya Club, regularly ranked among DJ Mag’s Top 100 clubs in the world. This stage will be dedicated to experimental sounds and emerging talents, further expanding the festival’s musical spectrum.

Exclusive new features have also been introduced via the official festival app, including a full schedule, interactive venue map, and in-app chat between attendees. The number of party boats has increased from three last year to eight this summer, while the festival merch line is expanding with more styles and items, placing a strong emphasis on design and quality.

Interest in the festival has exceeded all expectations – tickets are selling faster than last year, with a 50 percent increase in sales. While most of the audience comes from Europe, there is a growing number of visitors from more distant parts of the world, including South Korea, Brazil, Australia, and South Africa. To keep the festival accessible to the local scene, special regional discounts are once again available this year. The standard full festival ticket is priced at €119, while daily tickets range between €44 and €74, depending on the date and ticket type. Ticket and accommodation packages are also available, with options including beachside cabins, apartments with pools, villas, and hotels, all at competitive prices on-site.
