Ultra Music Festival Europe has announced the first batch of artists who will be heading to Croatia in July. The festival will welcome headliners Alesso, Armin van Buuren, Axwell /\ Ingrosso, David Guetta, Martin Garrix, Tiësto and Zedd to the festival, while The Chemical Brothers will lead the live initiative. Ultra Europe will feature the same "Resistance" concept that is being premiered at its Miami parent festival. Carl Cox will host his own specially curated Carl Cox & Friends stage once again at the Split-based festival for another underground-leaning stage.

The festival will take place July 10 to 12 in Poljud Stadium in the small coastal town of Split.

Early bird tickets are on sale now for Ultra Europe.

In addition to the festival, there is also an afterparty July 14 called Ultra Beach on the island of Hvar, just off the coast of Split, where revelers will be able to unwind with some calming music, sunshine and impeccable scenery around them. Tickets are on sale for Ultra Beach as well. There will also be a pre-party July 9 and more afterparties July 13 and 15, including a boat extravaganza July 13 to create a full week of events.

Watch the aftermovie from last year to see what you might be in store for this year. See the full lineup below via Dancing Astronaut. More artist announcements are to come soon, notably the underground names that will populate the Resistance and Carl Cox & Friends stages.
