The road to the 12th edition of Ultra Europe is officially underway. With the festival set to return to Park Mladeži in Split from 10 to 12 July 2026, the Phase 1 announcement has landed with a massive selection of headliners that span the spectrum of modern electronic music.
Leading the charge for the Main Stage is a heavy concentration of the biggest names in house and big room. Calvin Harris returns as a premier drawcard, joined by the high-energy duo of Dom Dolla and FISHER. John Summit and Mau P also join the top tier, reflecting the festival’s focus on the artists currently dominating global dance charts. Martin Garrix, a long time favourite in Split, rounds out this initial group of Main Stage heavyweights.
The underground and high-intensity sounds are equally well-represented. Hard techno is a clear priority for 2026, with I Hate Models and Sara Landry both secured for the first wave. They are joined by the melodic techno expertise of Miss Monique. In a notable addition for fans of drum and bass, the Worship collective—comprising Sub Focus, Dimension, Culture Shock, and 1991—is also confirmed as a headline act, bringing a different sonic dimension to the weekend.
While the specific stage breakdowns for some acts remain to be seen in the coming months, the presence of the RESISTANCE brand ensures that the Megastructure will remain a focal point for the darker side of the lineup. As is tradition with Destination Ultra, the three-day flagship event in Split will be followed by various parties across the islands of Brač, Hvar, and Vis.
Tickets are currently on sale at the official festival website. With Phase 2 expected to be announced in the coming months, the 2026 edition is already shaping up to be one of the most diverse lineups in the event’s history.
