May the 30th, 2026 – Celebrating 30 years of Hospital Records, Hospitality on the Beach has announced day and weekend tickets for 2026, allowing for much more flexibility and attraction for locals as well as visitors.
Hospitality’s flagship drum & bass getaway Hospitality On The Beach returns to the shores of Tisno for its seventh edition, revealing its most ambitious and carefully curated lineup yet. Taking place from the 1st to the 6th of July 2026 at the iconic Garden Resort, the festival invites a global family of ravers once again for five sun-soaked days and star-drenched nights on the Adriatic coastline. Tickets are already on final release at £250 + b/f , which can be secured with a £50 deposit by clicking here.
a festival for locals and tourists alike
We know this is going to sound cliche, but this really isn’t your average festival. It isn’t aimed solely at the crowds of sun (and fun) seekers that descend in droves on the Croatian coast each summer from far and wide. It’s also intended for those who live locally or elsewhere across Croatia and may not be able to commit to the full week of the event.
Understanding this, the organisers have taken it upon themselves to introduce special day and weekend tickets which allow a much more non-committal approach to attending this popular festival that turns The Garden Resort into something special in July.
day and weekend tickets offer a flexible and locally oriented approach
If you don’t fancy a full week but would like to spend a day or a weekend, then this more flexible approach is entirely possible. You can find out more and access those tickets here.
This level of accessibility sets Hospitality on the Beach apart from the usual festivals that take place across the Croatian coast each summer. Some larger ones have divided public opinion and even been met with negativity for the consequences they bring to local people. That can’t be said in this case. Inclusive and open, with plenty of flexibility, we have no doubt that plenty of Croatian and twangs of Dalmatian will be heard at this year’s event, with not only foreign languages dominating the entire experience.
Few people love to relax, appreciate music, lie around on beaches and get into the festival spirit quite like the Dalmatians. They’ve been doing it since time began, from fishing festivals to some of the most obscure events you’ve ever heard of (fancy a dormouse, anyone?), any festival on the Dalmatian coast should be as full of local people as it is foreign visitors.
why tisno?
Tisno doesn’t carry the fame of the likes of Split or Dubrovnik, and that’s exactly why such an unusual festival has opted for this location. Often referred to as a place in Dalmatia that is somehow both an island and yet still connected to the mainland (no, really), it stands out for being unique. Beloved for being the old gateway to Murter, it exudes a charm that is difficult to replicate, almost beckoning for atypical festivals and events to be held there.
an inclusive and community-driven atmosphere sets the festival apart
Since launching in 2018, Hospitality On The Beach has evolved far beyond the traditional festival blueprint. Today it stands as the world’s leading drum & bass holiday, a pilgrimage point for fans across the globe from Europe to the US, Australia, New Zealand and beyond. Famous for its intimacy, HOTB offers an inclusive, community-driven atmosphere where music, connection and adventure sit at the heart of the experience. That’s exactly where the local element and the ability to purchase more flexible ticket options comes into the whole story.
We’ve already introduced you to Tisno, and the actual festival site at The Garden Resort provides a stunning backdrop with a private beach, crystal-clear Adriatic waters and warm, starlit nights. Intimate, walkable and surrounded by fig and olive trees, the site is effortlessly laid-back. Guests can tailor their stay with accommodation options ranging from on-site apartments and luxury mobile homes to beach-side glamping and peaceful forest camping, with further choices available via Airbnb or Booking.com.
30th anniversary celebrations
What truly sets HOTB apart is the freedom it offers: rave when you want to rave, relax when you want to relax, and explore whenever the mood strikes. Whether dancing beneath the Croatian sun, unwinding on the private beach with a drink or wandering through the charming nearby town of Tisno, every guest can create their own perfect holiday rhythm.
To add to the existing magic of HOTB, the 2026 edition will bring HOSPITAL30 to life, placing the festival at the centre of Hospital Records’ 30th anniversary celebrations and honouring three decades of one of electronic music’s most influential independent labels. Next year also sees the festival evolve into a refined five-day format, shaped directly by community feedback and designed to be more focused, more affordable and easier to travel for, while still delivering the full Hospitality experience. By streamlining the programme, every stage, every boat party and every moment has room to breathe, allowing the festival’s signature attention to detail and world-class curation to shine more brightly than ever.
welcome to the beach club loyalty programme
To deepen the sense of connection even further, 2026 introduces The Beach Club, a new loyalty programme for anyone who has attended at least once. Members will receive exclusive offers, rewards and access to a special pre-party ahead of this year’s event.
Hospitality On The Beach 2026 promises not only a world-class drum & bass lineup, but a milestone celebration of music, community and the highly anticipated HOSPITAL30 anniversary making this edition the most meaningful and memorable yet.
