Quick answer

The main festival runs three nights across the Main Stage, UMF Radio, Oasis and the techno-focused RESISTANCE stage. Calvin Harris makes his Ultra Europe debut in 2026, joining Martin Garrix, Hardwell, Armin van Buuren, Afrojack, DJ Snake, John Summit, Fisher, Dom Dolla, CamelPhat, Sara Landry, Adam Beyer, Oliver Heldens, Subtronics and more.

What sets Ultra Europe apart is Destination Ultra: official boat parties, beach events and island takeovers on Brač and Vis that turn the whole Dalmatian coast into a festival week. Confirm set times and island timetables on the official site before you book travel.

The island after-parties

Ultra Europe is more than a single weekend. The "Destination Ultra" programme runs official events on the Dalmatian islands either side of the main Split dates — typically a Resistance party on Vis at the Fort George site, beach and boat parties off Hvar, and events around Brač.

For many visitors the islands are the point: clear Adriatic water by day, world-class line-ups by night. If you want the full experience, plan a week rather than a weekend and book island ferries and stays as soon as the dates are confirmed, because capacity is limited and prices climb fast.

Getting to Split and tickets

Split has its own airport (SPU) with wide European connections in summer, plus ferry and catamaran links along the coast and to the islands. The Poljud / Park Mladeži festival area is a short ride or walk from the centre and the seafront Riva.

Tickets are sold through the official Ultra Europe website, usually with early-bird tiers that rise as the festival approaches. Headline passes and island after-party tickets sell out, so buy as soon as they go on sale and confirm the venue details on the official site.
