Croatia Rocks will be making its debut this summer on the European vacation hotspot of Croatia. Having just announced its arrival to the Dalmatian coast last month, the festival has unveiled the first set of artists who will be performing next summer over five days, from July 19 to 23. Big-name acts like Rudimental, Clean Bandit, Fatboy Slim and Wilkinson will headline the festival, with plenty more in tow like Karma Kid and Doorly, according to Mixmag.

Joining these five will be live acts Jungle, Kate Tempest, Anushka and Kwabs, while B.Traits, Mak & Pasteman, Monki, Jaymo & Andy George, Friend Within, Lxury, Blonde, Zane Lowe, Shy FX, Waze & Odyssey and others will all handle things behind the DJ booth. You can see the full Phase 1 lineup on the festival website.

The festival, which takes place on Zrce Beach on the Island of Pag, is the Croatian outpost of the longstanding Ibiza festival Ibiza Rocks. It throws parties weekly at the Ibiza Rocks hotel in the western enclave of San Antonio that have hosted some of the finest up-and-coming and established U.K acts like Disclosure, Gorgon City, Karma Kid and Fatboy Slim.

In response to the rising stock of Croatia as a vacation destination, music festivals have started to pop up on the bountiful coasts of the Mediterranean country.

The festival will feature four days and nights of music, including DJ beach parties, boat parties and dancing under the stars. The beach and pool parties will be hosted by a variety of labels and media outlets, including Black Butter Records, Juicy, Eton Messy, Nightvision and more.

Tickets are on sale now, with a special hotel-festival ticket bundle going on sale tomorrow, Dec. 12.
