Croatia Launches Balance Festival: A New Deep-House Sanctuary by the Sea

Tisno, Croatia — August 2025 will see the debut of Balance Croatia, a new intimate festival dedicated entirely to deep house and progressive music. Held at the scenic Garden Resort, the four-day event brings a stripped-back, soul-driven alternative to Croatia's booming rave tourism.

Unlike commercial mega-fests, Balance focuses on extended sets, sunset sessions, and minimal branding. The lineup includes Sasha b2b Patrice Bäumel, Kora, Frankey & Sandrino, and live acts like Parra for Cuva.

Balance's founder, Milan Rako, says, "We want to create a space where sound is curated, not crowded."

This festival's launch represents a major step in decentralizing Europe's deep-house hubs—from Ibiza and Berlin to the Adriatic coast.
