Get ready for another unforgettable journey. From August 6 to 10, 2026, Balance Croatia returns to The Garden Resort in Tisno, bringing together the world’s finest progressive and melodic house artists for five days of pure musical harmony by the Adriatic Sea.
After an incredible debut that united the global progressive community, the festival’s second edition promises to be even more spectacular. Curated by the legendary Balance Music imprint, the event celebrates 25 years of Balance’s influence in the world of electronic music. Expect a festival experience that transcends sound — where every sunset, groove, and beat feels like a connection between people, nature, and the music itself.
A Legendary Line-Up Awaits
Balance Croatia 2026 gathers the genre’s biggest names and next-generation talents for an unmissable celebration of progressive sound. Returning icons Hernán Cattáneo, Guy J, John Digweed, and Nick Warren lead a lineup that reads like a love letter to modern melodic and progressive house.
New additions such as Danny Tenaglia, Lee Burridge, Jody Wisternoff, and the breathtaking Lost Miracle collaboration between Sébastien Léger and Roy Rosenfeld promise to deliver spine-tingling performances.
Also featured are Henry Saiz, Patrice Bäumel, Miss Melera, Mariano Mellino, and Dmitry Molosh, alongside 70-plus artists that bring fresh energy to the shores of Tisno. Rising talents including Amonita, GMJ & Matter, Atish, Tim Green, and Mike Rish will add new dimensions to the festival’s sonic journey.
And yes — the unmissable pre-parties kick off on August 6 with John Digweed and Danny Howells, setting the stage for what’s to come.
The Adriatic Experience You’ll Never Forget
The Garden Resort in Tisno has become one of Europe’s most cherished boutique festival destinations. Its stunning natural beauty — with turquoise waters, olive groves, and open-air stages — offers the perfect setting for Balance Croatia’s deeply emotional, journey-driven music.
As day turns to night, the Beach, Olive Grove, and Yard stages come alive with sets that flow seamlessly from melodic beginnings to euphoric crescendos. And when the sun sets, Barbarella’s Discotheque takes over — an open-air paradise where music and magic last until dawn.
Back for 2026 are the legendary boat parties, sailing across the Dalmatian coast with select artists curating unforgettable sunset voyages. Picture it — the waves, the breeze, the beats — all merging into a moment that stays with you long after you leave.
Highlights from Balance Croatia 2025
Last year’s edition set the bar sky-high. From Deep Dish and Khen’s opening energy to Sasha and John Digweed’s flawless back-to-back, every performance was a masterclass in storytelling.
Nick Warren’s beach stage set was pure emotion — cinematic transitions and deep grooves that captured the Balance essence perfectly. Guy J delivered what many called “the set of the weekend,” while Hernán Cattáneo’s sunset session painted the Adriatic horizon in sound and light. Each artist reminded fans why Balance is more than a label — it’s a feeling.
Mango Alley Joins as Label Partner
For 2026, Balance Croatia strengthens its creative roots with Mango Alley joining as an official label partner. Together with Sudbeat, The Soundgarden, Selador Recordings, SKYLINE, Super Progressive, and the Balance Series, they create what’s now known as “the ultimate international progressive house gathering.”
This collaboration unites distinct sounds, ideas, and emotions under one powerful message — that progressive house is timeless, evolving, and forever uniting people around the world.

Founded by Tom Pandžić in Melbourne, the label has become a global standard for sonic storytelling, featuring iconic mixes from artists like Kamilo Sanclemente, Jeremy Olander, Nicolas Rada, and Peter Makto.
