Why Destination Ultra Should Be On Top Of Your Bucket List

Ultra Europe takes centre stage in Split, Croatia once again this summer and promises to be another spectacular event with the worlds leading electronic music artists announced.

Ultra, as a brand has become much more than a festival. Through its extremely passionate and loyal group of followers, it’s grown into something with a cult status.

Each Ultra event in Miami, Split and all over the world is attended by thousands upon thousands of devoted fans. It’s not just the fans though that come back year-on-year. You’re sure to see familiar names on many of the Ultra line-ups too, purely down to the consistency of the events thrown and the boundary-pushing ideology of the Ultra team.

We’ve cast the net out to some of the artists that are lucky enough to play to see what they had to say.

"One of the most amazing parties I play every year is the ULTRA Europe after party on the island of Vis. This year will be my 4th year and every year has been unreal. The location is probably one of the most stunning in the world and the only way to arrive is by boat and then a jeep that takes you up the mountain to Fort George, which is a 200 year old fort that looks out to sea.

The location is so remote that only real music heads turn up which makes for an amazing party. Add that to ULTRA’s amazing production team and you have one of the best parties in the world."

“Resistance (Ultra) have been at the top of their game for such a long time & the reason for that is that firstly they really know their stuff, but secondly and more importantly, they are really good people who look after not only the artists but the ravers & it’s a pleasure to be part of such a great family. Hopefully I’ll be a part of it for a long time.”

"Ultra Europe is such a great edition of Ultra. Croatia is a beautiful country and the whole atmosphere of the festival is just amazing. The crowd last year was super impressive, so I can’t wait to do it again this year!"

"Playing Ultra's Regatta last year was definitely one of the highlights of last summer! It was an amazing atmosphere and the crowd were great!"

Fedde Le Grand(NL)

"Ultra Beach is one of my favourite spots to play in the summer, it has all those ingredients you would expect from a good vacation party. Sun, beach, great people and amazing music. And, of course it's a plus to have beautiful Croatia as a backdrop. It's simply an experience not to be missed.”

Paco Osuna(ESP)

"Undoubtedly what I liked the most about playing at the RESISTANCE event at Carpe Diem last year was the unique landscape offered by the location, as well as having the opportunity to co-host the closing party with my label Mindshake. I enjoyed that gig a lot! There was a great atmosphere of freedom and joy."
