Last year, one of Zagreb’s most famous club programs, Future Scope, marked its 20th anniversary. This year it is celebrating in style – with a three-day festival on Lake Jarun, which will take place on four different but quality stages. This birthday is celebrated from May 13 to 15, 2022, and the protagonists of the celebration are some of the most famous local and international musicians.

The impressive line-up is led by one of the most famous techno DJs Sven Väth, nicknamed Papa Sven due to his exceptional contribution to the genre.
He is followed by Stacey Pullen (who comes to Zagreb from Detroit, the city where techno originated), trance veterans Mauro Picotto and Paul Van Dyk, Sam Paganini, responsible for the timeless anthem “Rave,” Rush, an American DJ and producer who boasts dozens of records and releases, Nicole Moudaber, one of the most successful women in electronic music, and Faithless, the electronic band that released “Insomnia” is coming to Zagreb to play a DJ set. Fans of the British Wiggle tech-house sound are thrilled because Terry Francis and Nathan Coles, very well known to the Zagreb audience, are on the line-up, and the program will be complemented on all days by well-known names of the Croatian electronic scene, including Future Scope residents; Petar Dundov, Felver, Shipe, DJ Jock, Mr. DJ Dario, Marina Karamarko, E-base, and others.
Rundek and Ekipa, TBF, Elemental, Detour, ABOP, Boris Štok, and many other names will perform on the Live Stage, announced by the festival organizers soon!
The Future Scope team is preparing a serious festival that can compete alongside the world’s best festivals, such as the regional Exit. For 20 years, they have organized over 700 parties and concerts and didn’t stop even during the pandemic.
“We look at music as a broad term, which is why we decided to create a festival that combines different genres and even different audiences. As a result, this will be an interesting blend of subcultural and mainstream musical directions. But, although the two directions in which we are going are stylistically different, they have some things in common – urban flair, quality, and an audience eager for good fun,” said the organizers.
Although the first Future Scope party was technically held in April 2001, the team behind the brand points out that in 2002 they started with big foreign tours, which have remained their trademark and strongest asset, so they consider that the year the brand was born. In those 20 years, they explored numerous locations, from Murter’s Čigrađa to The Best and the former OTV, for the program to find its permanent home in Boogaloo and Jarun.
They are most proud of their audience.
“They kept us on guard, and because of them, we always invested maximum effort and patience. Without them, we would not be so consistent and ultimately long-lived. If we have to single out projects that keep a special place in our hearts, they are Fatboy Slim at the 2020 Fair and Boris Brejcha at Jarun in the same year. These were two large parties that we managed to do despite the complicated COVID-19 measures. We also remember Amelie Lens at the Fair with 3,000 visitors and the party with Jeff Mills in Boogaloo, which is the most visited event in the history of that club,” concluded the organizers.
The organizers have prepared early bird festival tickets that can be purchased until February 15 at a promotional price of 199 kn through on Entrio. More information about the festival can be found on their social networks.
