The 12th consecutive edition of Ultra Europe 2026 in Split ended early Monday morning after three nights of electronic music at Park Mladeži.
In previous years, the festival attracted more than 140,000 visitors across its three nights, while organisers announced that an even larger number of people was expected for the 2026 edition. Final attendance figures have not yet been released.
The festival’s final night brought some of the biggest names on this year’s programme, while police reported that the event ended without significant security incidents.
Martin Garrix, Armin van Buuren and Fisher lead the final night
The third and final night of Ultra Europe 2026 featured Martin Garrix, Armin van Buuren and Fisher on the Main Stage.
The programme began with Croatian DJ Kraundler, followed by Plastik Funk, a back-to-back performance by Ray Volpe and Sullivan King, and German electronic music project BUNT.
Armin van Buuren and Martin Garrix then took over the Main Stage before Fisher brought the three-day festival in Split to a close.
The Resistance stage was led by some of the most prominent names in contemporary techno, including Sara Landry, Nico Moreno and I Hate Models. Will Atkinson and Tomo in der Mühlen also performed during the final night.
The UMF Radio and Oasis stages continued with a wider selection of electronic music. Among the performers were KEVU, HRT, DJ MII, Alex Pizzuti, Madism and Charles B.
Three days of electronic music at Park Mladeži
Ultra Europe opened on Friday, July 10, with John Summit, DJ Snake, Afrojack, Oliver Heldens and Subtronics among the leading performers on the Main Stage.
The second night brought another high-profile programme featuring Calvin Harris, Hardwell, Dom Dolla, Worship and Maddix.
Sunday’s closing programme was led by Fisher, Martin Garrix and Armin van Buuren, completing three nights of performances across the Main Stage, Resistance, UMF Radio and Oasis stages.
Alongside the headline acts, dozens of international and Croatian artists performed throughout the weekend, with music continuing from the evening until the early morning hours on all three days.
Final night passes without significant incidents
Split police said the final night of Ultra Europe passed peacefully, with no significant security events recorded either at Park Mladeži or elsewhere in the city.
Five people, including four Croatian citizens and one foreign national, were placed under criminal investigation on suspicion of the unauthorised production and trafficking of drugs.
A further 93 people were sanctioned for offences under Croatia’s Act on Combating Drug Abuse, while 12 others were sanctioned for violations of other laws.
The final police report followed a similar pattern to the previous two nights. Across the entire three-day festival, no major security incidents were reported at the venue or elsewhere in Split, while police activity remained largely focused on drug-related offences.
In total, 270 people were sanctioned under Croatia’s drug abuse legislation and 29 for offences under other laws.
Ultra Europe continues on Brač and Vis
Although the main festival in Split has ended, the wider Ultra Europe programme continues on the Croatian islands.
The festival moves to Bol on the island of Brač on Monday, July 13, where the Ultra Beach party will be held at Club 585.
The 2026 edition will then conclude on Vis with the final Resistance party.
After three nights at Park Mladeži, Ultra Europe 2026 seems to have been another successful edition in Split. Organisers had expected around 150,000 visitors and the official attendance figures will reveal if that forecast was met and if this was the biggest Ultra Europe to date.
