Ultra Europe Reveals Set Times for 2026 Event
The 12th edition of Ultra Europe has locked in its schedule for its return to Split, Croatia, from July 10 to July 12, 2026. Park Mladeži is set to transform into a high-energy dance paradise running from 8:00 PM to 5:00 AM daily, with the lineup boasting a carefully crafted progression of electronic talent across the weekend.
Friday sets the bar high, easing into the night before ramping up the late-night energy with heavy hitters like Oliver Heldens, Afrojack, and DJ Snake, all paving the way for John Summit’s massive closing slot on the Main Stage. Simultaneously, the Resistance stage acts as an underground haven, taking fans on a deep techno journey via Miss Monique, Adam Beyer, and CamelPhat. Saturday shifts focus toward mainstage powerhouse acts, bringing crowd-pleasing anthems from Maddix and Worship before unleashing an unmissable triple-header featuring Dom Dolla, Calvin Harris, and a closing masterclass by Hardwell. Sunday delivers a top-heavy grand finale, perfectly balancing the stadium-sized euphoria of Armin van Buuren, Martin Garrix, and Fisher on the Main Stage with a relentlessly fast-paced hard techno sequence over at Resistance, culminating in a blistering final set from Sara Landry.
When you actually crunch the numbers on the timetable, Ultra has programmed a surprisingly varied mix of set lengths rather than standard festival blocks. On the Main Stage, the closing format is perfectly uniform, with John Summit on Friday, Hardwell on Saturday, and Fisher on Sunday all handed prime 90-minute sets starting at 3:30 AM to pilot the crowd through the final stretch into the sunrise. Interestingly, a few peak-time heavyweights score even longer sets than the headliners, with Dom Dolla, Calvin Harris, and Martin Garrix all allocated massive 95-minute blocks to drive the peak energy. The rest of the main evening acts, including the likes of Subtronics, Afrojack, and Armin van Buuren, sit comfortably with a generous 80-minute run, while the early opening slots get a brisker 50 to 65 minutes to shake out the crowd. Meanwhile, underground purists over at the Resistance stage get the weightiest allocations of all, with closing titans CamelPhat, Jamie Jones, and Sara Landry locked in for sprawling two-hour marathons starting at 3:00 AM to guide the crowd straight through to the 5:00 AM finish.
