It's been a long wait to return to Croatia's idyllic Zrce Beach, considering Sonus Festival's two previous postponements. But the highly-anticipated 2022 edition is now within touching distance.
Want to know why Sonus is a staple date in the raver's festival calendar? Because it's a who's who of techno's finest players and producers, both of legendary status and hype-inducing newcomers.
Having released the day splits for the five-day celebration of electronic music, you can start planning which parties you'll be hitting up and the appropriate times to recharge for the next round on the Adriatic Coast.
With only weeks to go, let's hear how excited Boris Brejcha, Pan-Pot, ANNA, Giorgia Angiuli and Paula Temple are about Sonus Festival's family reunion, straight from the source:
Boris Brejcha
What's been your favourite memory of Sonus Festival from over the years?
Sonus Festival is always great. I love it when the sun shines, the people go crazy, and we party right on the beach. A special highlight is each and every time I lift the Sonus symbol in the air. That is magical.
What do you think it is about Sonus Festival that makes it unique?
Just the whole vibe: the weather, the people, the location. That's what makes the entire festival special.
What are you most looking forward to when you're back at Sonus next month?
I look forward to experiencing this festival every year and catching that special vibe on the beach.

What is your favourite memory of Sonus Festival from over the years?
It was three or four years ago. There was this moment when people started throwing all of their clothes on stage. There were baseball caps, t-shirts, bras, even phones and many other things.
What do you think it is about Sonus Festival that makes it unique?
The people who come from all over the world, and the location is really unique. It creates a special vibe.
What are you most looking forward to when you're back at Sonus next year?

I’m so proud and happy to be part of Sonus Festival. It’s one of best lineups I’ve seen - it looks simply amazing. I hope this won’t be just my debut year, and I wish I’ll be able to become more and more part of Sonus and Timewarp family each year. No pressure with my expectations, but I just hope to be present on the best festivals regularly.
This will be your first time performing at Sonus, so from an outside perspective what do you think makes the festival unique?
This festival is unique for the amazing international lineup and the venue. Five days, from sunset to sunrise, close to the Croatian sea. It already sounds like a dream.
What are you most looking forward to from your first Sonus festival?
Performing in this magical scenery, surrounded by natural beauty. The energy is gonna be very special.

A great honour.
This will be your first time performing at Sonus, so from an outside perspective what do you think makes the festival unique?
The impression I get is that the Sonus Festival offers a lot more than a regular music festival. With the beautiful location I feel like it is going to be a perfect balance between relaxing and choosing to be fully absorbed in the music whenever you want. My wife and I will stay for an extra day to enjoy Sonus.
What are you most looking forward to from your first Sonus festival?
Seeing the crowd celebrate this unique experience.
