February 3, 2022 - After two years of unforgettable sell-out shows in Dubrovnik, mighty Manchester duo Solardo aims for a hat trick in 2022. In conjunction with Pollen Presents, Solardo announces their largest festival to date from September 23-27th: Higher Dubrovnik. 

The pair curate their biggest-ever lineup with international tastemakers, showcasing some of the world's top house and techno talent, a testament to the Manchester duo’s musical depth. The first wave of names includes Marco Carola, FJAAK, Nicole Moudaber, Mall Grab, Maya Jane Coles, Vintage Culture, Nic Fanciulli, Lee Foss, and many more. After multiple sell-out shows at WHP, Circus Liverpool & London, Higher is now set to grow into a multi-venue event across this historic city. Accommodation and ticket packages start at just £529, with party passes for what is one of Europe’s leading house and techno weekenders starting at only £249. 

Dubrovnik is famous for its vibrancy, with enchanting views sweeping over the terracotta rooftops, distinctive cobbled Old Town streets, numerous plazas and museums that detail the rich tapestry of Croatia’s past. Many may also recognise the city from hit series and films like Game Of Thrones and Star Wars. It is a truly unique backdrop for a series of world-class house and techno parties and this now globally renowned weekender takes place across its most essential sites, from an ancient fortress to a panoramic terrace high above the city and overlooking the piercing blue Adriatic Sea. 

Each location has its own charm and character and will be brought to life with world-class sound and production. You can expect plenty of stunning views over the walled city and glistening sea, with breathtaking sunsets and sunrises every day as you enjoy beachside takeovers, pool and fortress parties and terrace sessions like no other.  

House and techno duo Solardo lead the charge and since being crowned DJ Mag’s Best Breakthrough Act of 2016 and Best Duo of 2017 has never looked back. They have released on the likes of Elrow, Toolroom Records, and Green Velvet’s Relief Records, have topped the Beatport charts, and run their own vital Sola label. Now they bring their excellent curatorial skills to another mouthwatering Higher event. 

They will be joined by a who's who of house and techno talent from across the board, including Music On's Marco Carola, Berlin outfit FJAAK, Mood label head Nicole Moudaber, party starter Mall Grab, the always cultured Maya Jane Coles and global star Vintage Culture, as well as plenty more from wAFF, Lee Foss, Mason Maynard, Andrea Oliva, Ben Hemsley, Eli Brown, Shermanology, Nic Fanciulli and plenty more. 

Away from the music, there is a rich array of cultures to explore around the city, whether you meander on foot through the lime-paved streets, travel via cable car up to the fortress or simply lay back on the beach and soak up the good vibes. For those wanting an even more unique experience, add ons include VIP upgrades and sea-faring boat parties.  

There is a wide variety of accommodation options for Higher, including the elegant suites, luxury spa, and spectacular views of Valamar Lacroma, the beautiful Valamar Argosy Hotel with its fine restaurant, terrace, wellness zone and infinity pool, the exquisite 5* Valamar Collection Dubrovnik just a few minutes from the Old Town and Tirena Sunny Hotel, a quiet haven close to the historic centre of Dubrovnik.

September 5, 2021 - The completed lineup for Solardo’s HIGHER Dubrovnik event is here! 

From September 23rd - 25th, party-goers will enjoy the sun-soaked town of Dubrovnik besides the breathtaking views of the Adriatic Sea, all the while partying throughout the day and night to an assortment of some of the UK’s (and worlds’) much-loved DJs.

Solardo's unique day and night terrace party Higher is now only a few weeks away, and the lineup just got even bigger with the addition of Andrew Meller, Ben Hemsley, Hannah Laing, James Burton, Lost On Mars, Mandalo, Saffron Stone, Versus, and more. These new names come on top of the already serious lineup of Andrea Oliva, Danny Howard, Heidi, Max Chapman, Nic Fanciulli, and wAFF, who will all play the stunning terrace of Dubrovnik's famous Club Revelin from September 23-25th.

The always sun-soaked town of Dubrovnik is a historic location with breathtaking views of the Adriatic Sea. The iconic setting has been used in the Game of Thrones TV series and is now set to be the site of this legendary party for two days and nights of world-class music. Culture Club Revelin is one of DJ Mag's Top 100 clubs in the world for good reason, and these day and night sessions will make the best use of its open-air terrace - soaked in the sun by day and lit up by a gorgeous sunset in the evening. 

The varied and vital house talents of Andrew Meller, Ben Hemsley, Hannah Laing, James Burton, Lost On Mars, Mandalo, Saffron Stone, and Versus are now also lining up with the boss men themselves, Solardo, to complete a lineup that features a who's who of contemporary house talent. Hosts for the event include eclectic Birmingham party crew WYLD, with Rituals LDN also joining in.
