Tickets are on sale now at https://go.kaboodle.co.uk/HO25 so act fast to secure your spot at what will be a historic edition of this game-changing festival. 

As 2025 marks Hideout’s 15th year, it returns with a fresh new look yet retains a contemporary but accessible feel that reflects the festival itself. Musically, new levels will be set with another unmatched mix of names from across the house, garage, electro, techno and drum & bass spectrum as new stars, pioneering legends, and global favourites all line up. 

The first wave of names announced are Alan Fitzpatrick, AK Sports, Azyr, Benga, Bou, Bubble Love (Ross From Friends), Camo & Krooked, Charlie Sparks, Danny Howard, Darius Syrossian, Diffrent, Djammin, Dr Dubplate, East End Dubs, Eats Everything, Eliza Rose, Elliot Schooling & Liam Palmer, Enzo Is Burning, Enzo Siragusa, Fish56, Octagon, Gaskin, Girls Don't Sync, Hannah Laing, Hedex, Hitty, Hybrid Minds, Interplanetary Criminal, Ivy, Jakkob, Josh Baker, K Motionz, Kettama, Ki/Ki, L.P.

Says Mark Newton, Festival Director, "As we celebrate our 15th anniversary, we're excited to be back at one of the world's most beautiful festival locations: Zrce Beach. It's incredible to witness the growth of Hideout over the years, and to once again present a lineup that blends established artists with emerging talent, something that has been hugely important to us since our very first event. A huge thanks to our incredible team, both in the UK and Croatia, for making this magic happen year after year."

Zcre Beach becomes an adult playground for this annual celebration of all things electronic. The host venues of Noa, Papaya, Kalypso, Aquarius and Euphoria are some of the best rated in the world according to DJ Mag’s Top 100 Clubs. They are all located on the beach, just yards from the glistening sea and across from a stunning mountain range, with open air stages, high spec sound systems, bespoke production and a vibe that cannot be matched. 

From humble roots with just a few hundred people attending, Hideout Festival has grown to lead the way in Croatia’s summer scene for a decade and a half. No other event can match its all-action offerings, deep and carefully curated line-up and the community that attends each summer. They are young and dedicated to the music like no other, which means atmospheres are always off the charts, which adds to the vibe of each party whether dancing under the sun or stars across an array of boat parties, pool parties, the infamous opening beach party, and plenty more exclusive headline evening performances. 

The fun doesn't stop when the music stops at Hideout, of course, because there is a wealth of extra adventure to be had from high octane water sports, banana boats, jet skis, pedalos and the famous bungee jump, to more chilled out offerings like massages, cocktails, and sushi on in the Hideout Beach House. 

Hideout sells out each and every summer and the 15th edition will be no different, so make sure you secure your ticket and let the countdown to another epic week in the sun begin. 

The best way to secure your place at Hideout is to book accommodation (which ranges from affordable to luxury) and flight packages directly through the festival for a deposit of £149. These packages offer huge discounts, monthly payment plans and other benefits like early access to boat party tickets - take the hassle out of booking a group holiday and plan this most essential summer experience now.
