A Message From Our CEO
Dear Defected Croatia family,
What a party!!! I trust this message finds you well and that you all return home safely from our time together in Tisno. It has been an absolute pleasure to share this incredible weekend with each of you - incredible memories made across the five nights and four days of the festival.
From Wednesdays pre-party to Monday morning’s closings, this was a revised format for us, and the feedback from you all tells me it has been a resounding success. Your enthusiasm and the energy levels have once again proven why our community are so special.
This new format allowed us to pack the experience into a few unforgettable days and to keep the event affordable for all. It was designed with this in mind, ensuring that of our global family could continue to join in the celebration. Judging by the smiles, the dancing, and the overall vibe, it is clear that this change has made a positive impact.
Your feedback and support have been invaluable throughout this process and as you travel home, we are already sketching out next years festival with your feedback at the front and centre of our minds. We are committed to continuing to enhance the Defected experience, always putting our community at the heart of what we do.
Thank you for your unwavering support and for making Defected Croatia 2024 a phenomenal event. We look forward to seeing you again next year, ready to create even more magical moments together.
We're very pleased to share we'll be returning to The Garden in 2025, with pre-sale tickets launching tomorrow exclusively to previous ticket holders for 48 hours at a fixed price of £159. Previous years we have a tiered ticket structure but for 2025, we are fixing the Loyalty Early Bird prices for 48h to ensure you are all somewhat rewarded for your loyalty. You all deserve this. The memories you have helped create are priceless. Consider this gesture a thank you from us all at Defected.
I hope to see you all there next year from the evening of Wednesday 30 July for the Pre-party to the early hours of Monday 4th August.
Big love to you all,
Wez Saunders
