Super Slatko Report

In this edition of the Super Slatko Report, DJ Moe gets into full DJ mode and tells about a dance festival held in Hrvatska. If you’re interested in learning about the Ultra Europe EDM Festival, this episode is for you!

Today we talk about Ultra Europe held in Split.

The Ultra Europe Festival, held annually in Split, Croatia, is a major event in the electronic dance music (EDM) world. Since its inception in 2013, Ultra Europe has attracted tens of thousands of music lovers from across the globe, transforming Split into a hub for some of the most iconic names in EDM. Organized by the Ultra Worldwide brand, Ultra Europe stands as one of the many international expansions of the Miami-based Ultra Music Festival. With an impressive lineup of globally recognized DJs, unforgettable performances, and breathtaking locations, the festival has made itself a must-visit for EDM enthusiasts.

Ultra Europe was launched in 2013 as a result of Ultra Music Festival's expansion beyond Miami. The Ultra brand, founded by Russell Faibisch and Alex Omes in 1999, has always focused on offering high-quality EDM experiences, and Croatia was chosen for Ultra Europe because of its stunning Adriatic coastline and burgeoning reputation as a summer party destination. The festival is organized by Ultra Worldwide and co-hosted by Croatian event companies. With its headquarters in Miami, Ultra Worldwide successfully brought its expertise and reputation for large-scale production to Croatia, ensuring Ultra Europe would live up to its Miami predecessor.

Attending Ultra Europe is an experience, but it comes with a cost. Ticket prices vary depending on the type of experience a festival-goer is looking for. General admission tickets generally start at around €150 for early-bird pricing and can go up to €300 or more as the festival approaches (prices may very). VIP tickets, which offer access to premium areas, enhanced viewing experiences, and additional amenities, range from €350 to over €500. Additionally, many attendees choose to stay in Split or nearby locations, which also factors into the overall cost with accommodations and transportation.

Ultra Europe has hosted a ton of the talent in the EDM scene since its debut. Major artists like David Guetta, Martin Garrix, Armin van Buuren, Carl Cox, and Tiësto have all performed at the festival, delivering amazing sets to tens of thousands of attendees. Each year, the festival manages to secure headlining acts that span different sub-genres of electronic music, from house and techno to trance and big room EDM. The combination of big-name acts, coupled with emerging talent, ensures that Ultra Europe remains at the cutting edge of the EDM scene.

When does Ultra take place? 

Ultra Europe typically takes place in mid-July, coinciding with Croatia’s peak summer season, which allows visitors to enjoy both the festival and the beautiful Adriatic beaches. The festival spans three days, with main stage performances happening at Split’s Poljud Stadium, while additional after-parties and smaller events take place at other locations like Hvar and Vis islands. The timing of the event complements Croatia's vibrant summer tourism, and festival-goers often extend their stay to explore the country's coastline and historical landmarks.

The festival draws an incredibly diverse crowd, with attendees from all over Europe, the United States, and other parts of the world. The majority of attendees tend to be younger, typically ranging from 18 to 35 years old, many of whom are EDM aficionados or people looking to experience the unique combination of music, sun, and sea. As Ultra Europe has grown, it has also attracted a more international crowd, with an increasing number of tourists from Australia, South America, and Asia making the journey to Split.

And that’s it for the Super Slatko Report.
