ULTRAEUROPE
Ultra Music Festival's European edition: three days of electronic music at Park Mladeži, a stadium right in Split, between thousand-year-old walls and the Adriatic. Created in 2013, ~150,000 festival-goers from more than 120 countries, next edition July 9 to 11, 2027. 18+ only, no camping.
Ultra Europe 2027
The Ultra Europe festival.
In a nutshell.
Ultra Europe was born in 2013 in Split, as the first major international extension of Ultra Music Festival — the electronic music gathering founded in Miami in 1999. First based at Poljud stadium, the festival moved in 2019 a few hundred metres away, to Park Mladeži, in the Brodarica district. Three days in late summer, several stages, the biggest names in global house, techno and EDM: the 2025 edition drew around 145,000 festival-goers from more than 120 countries, with more than 55,000 people on the first night alone. 18+ only, no camping — you stay in the city, a stone's throw from the walls of Diocletian's Palace.
Ultra Europe very quickly established itself as the most important branch of the Ultra franchise outside Miami — before other editions spread in turn (Ultra Japan, Ultra Korea...). The festival also invented its own extension, "Destination Ultra": a full week where the programme spills out of the stadium onto the Dalmatian islands, with a regatta and party on Brač, a beach day on Hvar, or a Resistance closing night in a 19th-century fort on Vis. All a separate ticket, for those who want to extend the stay beyond the three nights of stage shows.
The setting is a big part of the festival's identity: Split is a city built in and around the palace of Roman emperor Diocletian, seventeen centuries old and still inhabited — not a museum, a real neighbourhood with its bars and apartments. Park Mladeži is reached on foot from this old town, which changes the game compared with a site isolated in nature: you can move between beach, historic lanes and the Main Stage without leaving the same city, with the Adriatic islands an hour away by boat as a bonus.

Ultra Europe in practice
Profile of the festival.
Capacity, atmosphere, crowd, hours and on-site budget: the full profile of Ultra Europe 2027 before you get your tickets.
The origin
Ultra's first major extension outside Miami
Created in 2013 in Split (Poljud stadium), moved in 2019 to Park Mladeži. Since then, the Ultra franchise has spread across other continents (Ultra Japan, Ultra Korea...), but the European edition remains one of the biggest.
The global electronic scene
House, techno, EDM, all the big names
Several stages over three days, with headliners who tour the electronic music world every summer (Armin van Buuren, Tiësto and Hardwell have all played Split in recent editions).
Between walls and the Adriatic
A stadium right in Split, walking distance from the old town
Park Mladeži is reached on foot from Diocletian's Palace (17 centuries of history, still inhabited) and the seafront. Few big electronic festivals take place within walking distance of an ancient site and the sea.
A global crowd
~145,000 festival-goers, more than 120 countries
More than 55,000 people on the first night of the 2025 edition alone. Ultra Europe draws an international crowd well beyond Croatia and its neighbours.
What to pack
July Adriatic heat
25-30°C by day, full sun, little shade in the stadium. Sunscreen, a cap, a water bottle, and good shoes for three nights standing.
Budget
High once accommodation is counted
3-day pass around €220-240 (excluding fees), but Split sells out and gets expensive during Ultra week: booking accommodation several months ahead changes the final bill a lot.
Ultra Europe 2027 practical info
Practical info.
Dates, hours, transport and lodging: what you need to know before you go.
Dates and schedule
Three days, Friday to Sunday, early July (July 9-11, 2027, officially confirmed dates). Gates late afternoon, concerts late into the night depending on the city curfew.
Tickets
3-day General Admission, GA+ or VIP pass, sold exclusively via the official website ultraeurope.com. Prices rise in tiers as the festival approaches — buying early costs less.
Cashless payment
The site runs cashless via a connected wristband, to top up before or during the festival.
Access and transport
Park Mladeži is reached on foot or by local bus from Split's old town and seafront. No dedicated parking on site — avoid driving, the city is dense and close.
Accessibility
Dedicated zones and easier access for people with reduced mobility; flag in advance via the official website or Ultra Europe assistance.
TransportSplit is reachable by direct flight from many European cities in summer; the site is right downtown.
- By plane
- Direct flights from Paris (~2h10, Air France/Croatia Airlines/easyJet), Munich (~1h20) or Zagreb (~40 min). Split Airport is in Kaštela, about 25 km from the centre (30-45 min by shuttle, bus or taxi).
- On site
- Park Mladeži is reached on foot from the old town and the seafront (Riva); local Promet buses as a complement from further neighbourhoods.
- By car
- Not recommended: no dedicated parking on site, traffic and parking complicated in the town centre during the festival.
AccommodationNo camping: stay in Split, neighbourhood depending on budget and willingness to walk to the site.
- Old town / Riva
- The closest on foot to Park Mladeži and the liveliest, but also the priciest and the first to fill — book several months ahead.
- Other Split neighbourhoods
- Bačvice, Varoš or Meje offer a price/distance compromise, with 15-25 min on foot or a short bus ride to the site.
- Budget
- The whole city is full and expensive during Ultra week: accommodation prices climb noticeably compared with the rest of summer.
DestinationSplit and its Adriatic islands, a boat ride away from the port right next to the site.
- Split
- Diocletian's Palace (4th century), still inhabited and full of bars and alleys, a stone's throw from Park Mladeži; the Riva seafront to extend the evening.
- The islands
- Hvar, Brač and Vis are reachable by ferry or fast boat from Split port (30 min to 1h) — Ultra Europe even runs its own 'Destination Ultra' parties there during festival week.
- Weather
- Early July in Split: 25 to 32°C, full sun, very little rain. Warm sea, ideal for a swim before heading to the stadium in the evening.

A taste of it
Ultra Europe
like you were there.
The only royalty-free photos available show the 2015 edition, when Ultra Europe was still held at Poljud stadium — before the move to Park Mladeži in 2019. The atmosphere (stages, crowd, light shows) stays true to the festival today, even though the exact site has changed since.
