Good news for Croatia and its music scene! It is confirmed that the 5th jubilee edition of the ULTRA Europe Festival will be held in Split from the 14th to the 16th of July 2017.

The festival in Split is the only ULTRA festival with additional title ''Europe's Premier Destination Music Festival'' because apart from great music it puts emphasis on Split, Dalmatia and the beauty of the Croatian coast. In the last year of its five-year contract once again the city of Split will host more than 150,000 visitors, whilst the rich music program ''Croatia Music Week'' will take place from the 13th to the 19th of July on locations in Split and on the islands of Brac, Hvar and Vis.

The first ULTRA music festival in Croatia was held in Split in 2013. The satisfaction of the ULTRA licensees with the location, offer, amenities and the beauty of Croatia only confirmed that the same location will host the 5th edition of the festival in the last year of the contract.

''We are very pleased that Split was highly ranked by the licensees and that it will host more than 150,000 visitors for the fifth year in a row. Over the years ULTRA Europe has become the second most visited ULTRA festival after the one in Miami which we managed to achieve thanks to the fantastic location of the festival. This year visitors from more than 140 countries all over the world came to the ULTRA festival in Split. Next year we will make a special effort to mark the final year of the festival in Croatia with even better and richer program in order to attract even more visitors to Split and the Dalmatian islands'', commented Nikola Busljeta, the manager of the ULTRA Europe festival.
