Gates of Agartha has unveiled the lineup for its 2026 Croatia edition, returning to the ancient Cave Romane quarry in Pula from June 4–7 with ANOTR, Mau P, Dennis Cruz, Hot Since 82, Traumer, and Mita Gami leading the program. The four-day event brings a carefully curated selection of underground house, tech, and melodic electronic artists to one of the region’s most visually striking open-air venues.
Among the highlights, Dutch duo ANOTR will deliver a special extended sunrise set, while festival favorite Mau P joins Spanish tech-house standout Dennis Cruz and UK producer Hot Since 82 for headline performances. Mita Gami will also take the stage with his signature blend of indie electronic textures and hypnotic grooves, while Avangart Tabldot and Saraga add genre-fluid sets that align with the festival’s underground ethos.
Minimal specialist Traumer will perform exclusively during the June 4 opening party at Pula Castle, reserved for Full Experience guests, setting the tone ahead of the main program at Cave Romane on June 5–6. Additional support across the weekend includes Ace Brothers, Zoe Done, Pablo Panda, Mene, Moukaide, and Elena Mikac, completing a lineup rooted in underground house, minimal, deep tech, and melodic sounds.
A defining element of Gates of Agartha is its remarkable setting. The festival takes place inside a 2,000-year-old limestone quarry that once supplied stone for the Pula Arena Roman amphitheatre. Surrounded by towering 50-meter rock walls and known for its powerful natural acoustics, Cave Romane sits in the coastal village of Vinkuran near Pula, within the historic Istria region—often referred to locally as Terra Magica.
The concept was founded by brothers Yalim Acar and Yaaz Acar, creators of the Echoes From Agartha festival in Cappadocia. Their vision focuses on staging electronic music events within historically significant landscapes, transforming ancient sites into immersive festival environments.
“Gates of Agartha was never meant to be just another festival,” the founders explain. “Our vision has always been to create timeless moments where sound, history, and community converge.”
The Croatia edition is presented in collaboration with BSH Events, a leading regional promoter known for producing high-impact electronic music events across Croatia. Ticket prices range from €70–€180, with Full Experience packages including four nights’ accommodation at Monumenti, breakfast, fast-track entry, and access to the opening and afterparties.
With its tightly curated scale, underground-focused lineup, and international audience, Gates of Agartha continues to establish itself as one of Europe’s most distinctive boutique electronic destination festivals.
