The story

Sonus Festival in Novalja/Pag

Sonus Festival is a house and techno event founded in 2013 on Zrce Beach in Novalja, island of Pag, built around the beach's cluster of open-air clubs and typically scheduled for the second half of August with techno and tech-house headliners. Organizers have signaled a move away from Zrce for future editions.

Sonus Festival launched in 2013 on Zrce Beach in Novalja, on the island of Pag, positioning itself as a house and techno event built around the same strip of beach clubs, Papaya, Aquarius and Kalypso, that also hosts student-oriented parties earlier in the season.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Sonus built its identity on techno and tech-house bookings, artists such as Richie Hawtin and Adam Beyer have headlined past editions, set against Zrce Beach's open-air club strip, where pool parties by day blend directly into club sets by night rather than being split across a separate campground

02

The mystery stays covered

Its late-August slot distinguished it from spring student parties held at the same clubs, giving Zrce a genre-curated bookend to a season otherwise dominated by shorter, younger-skewing events
