After a stunning start to the new chapter at The Garden Resort of Tisno last year, the acclaimed underground Dimensions Festival brings back a tastefully curated list of headliners, back-to-back exclusives, label parties, UKG celebrations, Detroit specials, debut sets, and more to ring in the special jubilee.

TCN caught up with the Dimensions Festival organizers to learn more about what we can expect this year.
Dimensions celebrates 10 years this year! Congrats! How has the festival evolved, from its beginnings in Pula to today in Tisno?
In Pula, the scale of our event meant often a lot of attention was on the big headline acts with a need to draw many thousands of people to our event from all over the world. The Garden Resort’s intimate setting has given us time to refresh our approach with the line-up in a way that celebrates the exciting artists, labels, and parties in the various corners of our scene but that also plays musically into the idyllic settings including the famous Barbarellas, home to our after parties.
How do the two locations compare? What does Tisno offer that Pula couldn’t? Or vice versa?
Each year in Pula we were required to bring utilities into the site; site, power, etc. The site itself was also technically challenging to produce the events at the scale we did. Tisno gives us the ability to focus on the music, the production, the sound, etc with ease. The site is one of the world’s best-loved festival resorts, and it’s clear to see why. Tisno town also offers a welcomed excursion for customers, artists and staff alike, making the experience feel more like a holiday than a festival at times – which is no bad thing.
Big things are in store for the 10th-anniversary edition – what can festival-goers expect this year to celebrate the big jubilee?
We have many friends joining us for our tenth year, old and new. Off the back of last year’s event, there is great excitement and energy for Dimensions Festival this year and we know it is going to be another very special one!
This year we have lots of very special stage takeovers, some unmissable after-parties at Barbarellas and 3-hour boat parties soon to be announced that will venture out on the Adriatic each day. We’ll also be announcing a new stage for 2022… more details on that coming soon.
How many festival-goers are expected this year and which acts are most exciting?
We have had a great response to festival tickets so far this year and are due to expand the site slightly in line with this, with three main stages, a chill-out space, and lots of other special things in store for those that join us this summer!
To us, each act is exciting – we’re very excited to welcome debut appearances from so many artists we’ve wanted to join for so long, as well as celebrating our 10th anniversary this summer alongside so many long-standing partners and artists who have been with us since the beginning.

The boat parties are always a hit – what do you have in store for the 10th edition?
There will be three parties a day, announced soon, with many of our partners presenting some seriously unmissable parties on the Argonaughty! Keep your eyes peeled.
10 years down, at least another 10 to go? How do you see the future of Dimensions festival in Croatia?
Our focus is very much on 2022 at the moment and on making our 10th celebration as special as it can be. Dimensions Festival feels in a really great place at the moment and we’re very excited to plan for the future.
