Split will be host to Ultra Europe Festival for at least another 5 years, festival organisers confirmed today.

It has been confirmed that Split, on Croatia’s Dalmatian coast, will play host to Ultra Europe until 2022.

Back in 2013, Ultra Music Festival issued a 5-year license for the European version of the Miami spectacle to be held in Split. Today Joe Bašić from Ultra Europe confirmed at a press conference that the festival will be staying put in Split for at least another 5 years.

It was also announced today that Ultra will be football club Hajduk Split’s sponsor. Ultra Europe takes place each year at Hajduk’s Poljud stadium and now the pair have entered into a formal sponsorship agreement.

“This is the first time that an international music festival has sponsored a football club. Ultra will promote Hajduk and Hajduk will promote Ultra.

This year around 150,000 visitors from 100 countries are expected to descend on Split for the 3-day event later this month. 50 DJs, including the biggest names in the world like Afrojack, Carl Cox, and David Guetta, will again be performing at Poljud stadium.
