Pulse Radio is an international channel for electronic music - spanning from their first homebase in Australia to their newest addition of Los Angeles, with a dominating global presence. Pulse Radio is considered the “heart of electronic music”, dedicating their purpose to the art of Electronic Dance Culture. To make festival hunting this summer easier for everyone, they have compiled a list of what they think make the 15 not to miss festivals across Europe.
Having scanned festivals across Germany, France, the Netherlands, Italy, Malta, and Croatia, they have forged a diverse list of festivals ranging from various musical backgrounds and genres. And the best part? Croatia tops this list with 3 festivals!
Movement in Tisno will be in its first edition this year, but having built up the success from Detroit and Turin editions of the event, we’re sure this spin-off will be anything but ordinary. This festivals takes place in the Garden at Tisno and runs from July 28th-August 1st. The lineup boasts Nina Kraviz, Solomun, and Octave One.

Another upcoming Croatian festival on the list is Sonus, taking place from August 21st-25th at Zrće Beach on the island of Pag. The brainchild of Time Warp festival, Sonus is considered one of the finest festivals in Southeastern Europe. Day parties, boat parties, after parties, and 5 days of continuous raving make this one hard to beat. This year Sonus will be in its fourth edition, with a lineup featuring the likes of Dixon, Loco Dice, and Maceo Plex to name a few.

Unfortunately having already past this May, Lighthouse Festival in Lanterna, Poreč has also made the list. Although it took place from May 25th-29th, this festival was launched by the iconic team behind club Pratersauna in Vienna. This year’s lineup claimed Jackmaster, Black Coffee, and Martin Buttrich, and they also offered activities such as daily yoga! Definitely one to look out for next year.
