There are many beach festivals. There are many electronic music festivals. But no festival in Europe combines these two elements quite as effectively as Sonus Festival.
The most legendary musical gathering on the legendary Zrće Beach in Croatia, Sonus' recipe for success isn't a complicated one: bring the world's best techno artists together to ply their craft in an unmatched idyllic beach setting. But that doesn't make it any less impressive.
Dating back to 2013, the buzz around the festival has grown steadily every year, which takes over the beach's famed Aquarius, Kalypso and Papaya coastal clubs for five days and nights.
Today Sonus have revealed their first wave lineup for their upcoming 2022 edition, and in typical fashion it is packed with some of techno's brightest and most influential DJs.
Sven Väth, Richie Hawtin, Monika Kruse, ANNA, Jamie Jones, Chris Liebing, Dixon, Adriatique, Amelie Lens, and KiNK are only 10 of the first 42 acts announced. You can see the full first wave lineup below or head to our Sonus 2022 guide for more information on the bucket list festival.
Sonus Festival 2022 takes place August 21-25 on Zrće Beach in Novalja, Croatia. Find more info on our Sonus 2022 guide and book your tickets, accommodations, and packages for Sonus 2022 here.
