5 Historic Sets From ULTRA Europe

One of the world’s most warm, welcoming and safe festivals is back with a bang from Friday, July 12th to Sunday, July 14th as ULTRA Europe returns to Park Mladeži in Split, Croatia.

ULTRA Europe stands out for many renowned reasons – its next level production, the epic stage designs, world class sound and of course its great location in Croatia, near epic beaches that are safe and breathtaking and ripe for exploring.

It is also a place where music lovers from hundreds of countries around the world all come together as one, to unite under music as one large and happy family.

Playing this year are the likes of Adam Beyer, Armin van Buuren, Boris Brejcha, Eric Prydz, Hardwell, Martin Garrix, Timmy Trumpet, Afrojack, Alison Wonderland, Axwell, Black Tiger Sex Machine Presents The Anime Show, CamelPhat, Deborah De Luca, DJ Snake, KSHMR, Sebastian Ingrosso, SLANDER, Subtronics, Vini Vici, Vintage Culture and W&W and more.

The hugely anticipated 10th anniversary is not far away now, so here are some historic sets to get you in the mood.

Alesso (2014)
Alesso is one of the mainstays of the Swedish scene that spawned so many big names into the dance and EDM world over the last 15 years. His own sound is always richly emotional and detailed with elegant synths and sweeping beats that truly lift you off your feet. This mix shows him in fine form and immerses you deep into his smart selections and slick mixing style. 

Hardwell (2016)
The Dutch titan Hardwell knows how to blow the metaphorical roof off a club, and he did that all the way back in 2016. His electric set married with the production for an off-the-wall experience.

Armin Van Buuren (2019)
Armin van Buuren embodies trance music and always has. He is a leader in the genre with his DJ sets, radio show and label releases and few serve up such emotional sets as this one back in 2019.

Sofi Tukker (2022)
Sofi Tukker is a musical duo based in Florida but now knows the world over. The pair of Sophie Hawley-Weld and Tucker Halpern have a fine discography of their own which they often call on next to big, colourful, impactful and thrilling sounds from their peers. They play with real energy as they showed in impressive fashion back in 2022.

Martin Garrix (2023)
This global super star and multi-time winner of the Top 100 DJ pool is a master of eclectic sounds and high energy selections. He heads up his own label and often showcases its sounds when he plays and this set last year was truly epic.

TIER 2 tickets for ULTRA Europe are nearly sold out, with 3-Day GA ticket priced at €179, 3-Day VIP tickets at €389, and a 1-Day VIP ticket at €199 so get yours now.
