Love International Festival 2026 – Electronic Music at The Garden, Tisno
Love International Festival 2026 at The Garden, Tisno — one of Europe's most celebrated boutique electronic music festivals, mixing house, disco, and club music on the Dalmatian coast. July 8–14.
Love International is among the most widely praised boutique electronic music festivals in Europe — a seven-day event at The Garden Resort in Tisno that has earned a devoted international following for its exceptionally thoughtful curation, warm communal atmosphere, and the quality of its setting on the Dalmatian coast. Founded in 2014, the festival focuses on house, disco, soul, and the broader electronic music spectrum with a curatorial eye that values musical intelligence over commercial profile — meaning that every set at Love International has been chosen because it's good, not because the artist's name moves tickets.
Programme & Curation
The Love International musical palette is broad: deep house, Italo disco, afrobeat-influenced electronics, cosmic sounds, UK acid, and leftfield club music all appear across the festival's multiple stages. The booking approach is consciously eclectic — a programme might pair Theo Parrish with Floating Points, or Actress with a rare appearance from a legendary but underrecognised producer from the 1980s Chicago house scene. Past editions have featured DJ Harvey, Hunee, Move D, Peggy Gou, Job Jobse, and many others who represent the best of the international electronic community.
The Garden Resort Setting
The Garden Resort in Tisno is one of the finest festival venues in Europe — a terraced hillside site with a stage cantilevered over the sea, a private beach, an outdoor pool, and bars with Adriatic views from every terrace. The site is deliberately kept to an intimate scale (~2,500 capacity), ensuring that the community feel that larger festivals trade for commercial scale is preserved. Boat parties on the Murter channel are a defining part of the Love International experience — the Adriatic afternoon light, the sound system, and the warm sea make these among the most celebrated festival moments in European club culture. Love International also programmes in-water swimming dances off the private beach.
Tisno and the Dalmatian Setting
Tisno is a charming small coastal town at the northern edge of the Dalmatian Riviera, connected to Murter island by a small swing bridge. The surrounding area includes the extraordinary Kornati Islands National Park, Krka National Park (30 minutes inland), and the historic city of Šibenik. The summer in Tisno is warm and the water crystalline — the lifestyle of swimming, eating fresh seafood, watching sunsets, and dancing well into the morning is exactly what Love International was created to celebrate. Other festivals at The Garden include Defected Croatia, Hospitality On The Beach, and Outlook Origins.
