The press conference presenting Ultra Europe festival locations, updated line-up and the record-breaking ticket sales, was held at the Poljud stadium in Split last week. Ultra Europe has far exceeded all the expectations and it could easily enter the list of top ten electronic music events in the world at its very first edition. The interest for this event is coming from more than 75 countries of the world with over 60 percent tickets sold-out, has broken all the records. Organizers have confirmed at the conference six more world class acts, who will join 30 performers so far confirmed for the premiere edition of Ultra Europe.

Stadium of Poljud will be the place where the first two days of festival are to be held and all the fans can expect a spectacle like no other. The capacity of the stadium will grow to 40 thousand places with VIP area for 3000 people, while the stage will be biggest ever seen in the entire broader region. Specially designed area and production with the capacity of 8000 people are expected on the Carl Cox & Friends stage, while 2500 fans will be partying on the Regional Stage where the leading clubs and new-coming artist will be performing in front of the fans. The last day of Ultra Europe is to be held on the already sold-out exclusive beach party in Hvar, where we expect more than 5000 fans on a 3800 square meters pool area located at the most beautiful beach resort on the Adriatic coast.

Ultra Europe is the only festival in the world that will include a special component of TheYacht week, with more than 250 boats that are part of the Ultra Europe Regatta to Hvar on July 14th. Following the example of the US version of the festival, the YouTube live broadcast will be introduced via UMF TV channel. Ultra festival in Miami set a record with over 10 million unique viewers of the live broadcast, so the organizers hope to repeat that success on Ultra Europe with the help of more than 20 cameras, which will be filming for over 5 million people.

Joe Bašić, the director of Adria MM Productions, who are representing the Croatian partner and co-organizer of the festival, thanked Heineken and other partners who recognized the importance of this event, ORYX Rent a Car and Red Bull Adria.

The world-famous British duo Chase & Status, Sweedish Dub House duo Cazzette and Progressive House DJ Deniz Koyu will be performing on the main stage in Split along with other world-famous EDM acts Afrojack, AVICII, Armin Van Buuren and Hardwell. Carl Cox & Friends stage lineup will be upgraded with the renowned UK DJ Yousef and the Swedish techno DJ and producer Adam Beyer. Many Australians who bought a ticket for the last day of Ultra Europe festival at the hotel pool of Amfora will surely be thrilled that the Australian duo Nervo will perform. Including the mentioned, the total number of announced acts for Split and Hvar is 30, while the organizers are waiting for confirmations from at least five more performers.

In 2012, global pop icon Madonna appeared as a special surprise guest—the festival’s gift to their fans.
