Hey guys it’s my first time coming to Croatia and to any real edm festival. Not really sure about much and wanted to see what I should know. What are drink prices like. How’s the crowd? Can I bring stuff in or get it in there. Are the under covers really that bad? Thanks.
It's Day 13 of the Ultra Europe 2026 build-up.
Main Stage:
Some shapes are already up. As we can see, we are again getting Doritos-shaped screens. VIP got branding and sponsors on the fences.
Resistance:
Some curved and some rectangular shapes are in the making.
This pic, where you can see both the Main Stage, Resistance, UMF Radio, and the entrance, is tbh fire to me.
Backstage:
VVIP entrance is done, and we can see the shapes from a little closer. MOJO barriers came, and something in literal ammunition boxes is there also.
Entrance:
More fences have fallen down, and one that fell down yesterday has not been fixed yet. There's one big welcome sign at the beginning of the entrance, an escape evacuation plan, and very, very interesting cameras are placed all over the main Layher construction.
See you tomorrow. 😎
EDIT: It has been claimed!!
Hi! I can no longer make Ultra Europe so I'd love to give this away to another raver. The buy/resell thread is locked, is there another one I can use?
I forgot about this until I got a reminder email today that the pickup name needs to be changed by July 7. I'm in a bit of a time crunch :(
It's Day 12 of the Ultra Europe 2026 build-up.
Main Stage:
More display shapes. U-shaped truss is ready. Markings on the floor. VIP got seats.
Resistance:
Food court is ready. Layher construction is ready, and the roof is being prepared.
Backstage:
LED displays arrived, and the VVIP entrance is being made. Some more Layher parts labeled as Main Stage are still there. Don't know what these could be for.
Entrance:
UMF Radio stage got a tarp on it. A lot of fences have fallen down because of the wind, and they really have shit welds on them.
See you tomorrow. 😎
It's Day 11 of the Ultra Europe 2026 build-up.
Main Stage:
We can see the first sight of Doritos displays! Large metal poles for the roof and the back are done. It looks like they have some logistical issues with the tarpaulin because it's still not being placed (maybe). VIP got floors, and VVIP got tables and seats. The bar in the back is almost ready, and the media platform on it too.
Resistance:
One more layer of the Layher construction on the left side.
Backstage:
The stage entrance got a roof base. Interesting—they removed the stairs for the stage. Probably because of the crane that was there yesterday. Layher towers for fireworks over VVIP are also all in place now.
Entrance:
We now have branding on the fences. Interesting, it's reused print from last year, and it's all torn apart. Booths got their labels. UMF Radio stage is getting ready. Some big tanks and generators behind everything, probably to power all the lights around the entrance. I feel like there's more and more cameras every day and that there are more cameras than last year. However, they are not very well secured. The tower for the festival map at the beginning of the entrance has one "foot" kind of loose; it's not holding anything heavy, so we pray nothing bad will happen with it.
See you tomorrow. 😎
Hi! Is anyone going to Ultra Europe and staying a bit farther from the venue?
So, there won't be a shuttle bus provided, right? I went to the website but when I clicked the link, nothing came up🤷🏻♀️
Does anyone know if there's parking available or limited?We're thinking of renting a car since it's about a 22min drive which is approx 11 km to Park Mladeži in Split.
Thank you in advance!
First, I now see I completely fucked up the day count in the titles, so... It's Day 10 of the Ultra Europe 2026 build-up.
Main Stage:
Large metal poles for the roof and the back tarpaulin are still being lifted and placed. They'll probably be done today. VIP is still under construction, and VVIP is probably finished.
Resistance:
The first layer of the Layher construction is in place, and the stage is being prepared.
Backstage:
Trusses, trusses, trusses, and just trusses.
Entrance:
More cameras. :)
Btw, my drone is not the only drone there. Check out the first comment for the video. 👇
See you tomorrow. 😎
First year going to Ultra & have just seen the clear bag policy… we are coming from Bosnia and have no idea where would even sell clear bags (I’ve found some online but they won’t arrive in time)
Does it apply to all bags, or are small cross body/bum bags allowed if they aren’t clear, and only backpacks have to be clear?
Or is it a rule they say exists but in reality its not really an issue?
If we absolutely do need a clear bag then uhh any tips on where might sell one in Mostar/Čapljina or once we get to Split 🫠
If we were to get in line around 10pm, how long will the wait time be in line to get in to the venue?
It out yet? Can’t find it anywhere, trying to decide between Saturday and Sunday
When do they release ticket info for the parties the week after Ultra Europe for the islands off of Split? My friend and I just realized we’re going to be there for that and can’t find info anywhere. Thank you beautiful people!!
Other than the audience, is there any differences people should be aware of?
That’s so unexpected the last time he blew me away live was Ultra Japan 25 so who’s excited for these 2?
Hi wife and I are planning to go to ultra Europe in split. This would be our first festival experience as we have never attended festivals before. Been reading a lot of comments about how this is a bad one and lot issues with crowd. But we don’t have anything else to compare too. We have typically attended these DJs when they headlined at clubs in Vegas or Ibiza.
What should we expect ? And what should be key things we should be aware of? Lot of comments suggests that I should get the VIP ticket ?
It's Day 9 of the Ultra Europe 2026 build-up.
Main Stage:
Roof is up! Large metal poles for the roof and the back tarpaulin are being lifted and placed. VIP is still under construction, and VVIP is almost finished.
Resistance:
The first layer of the Layher construction is being placed.
Backstage:
A lot of flight boxes. These rose "Movecat" boxes are motors used to lift the screens (if my research is correct). A lot of trusses, both small and big is around.
Entrance:
A LOT of security cameras have been put ALL AROUND the stadium.
See you tomorrow. 😎
I’ll be going to Croatia for Ultra Europe 2026 in about two weeks.
For those of you who’ve been before, what’s the overall crowd vibe like?
I’ve been to EDC Las Vegas, Ultra Miami, and EDC Orlando several times, so I’m curious which one Ultra Europe feels most similar to.
Most of the people I’m going with are gay, so they’ll probably be wearing the typical EDC-style festival outfits (I.e. they’re gonna dress like hoes). I’m just wondering how that tends to be received at Ultra Europe. Is the crowd generally pretty open and accepting, or is it a bit more conservative than the U.S. festival scene?
It's Day 8 of the Ultra Europe 2026 build-up.
Sadly, a few minutes after I shot with my drone, heavy rain and wind started, so I had to leave. So far, I don't think anything has been damaged. Ultra Europe and Ultra Miami are really cursed when it comes to weather conditions.😕
Main Stage:
Roof is assembled and tarpaulin is placed.
Resistance:
Things from the truck are ready.
Backstage:
No info.
Entrance:
No info.
See you tomorrow. 😎
Im planning to go Ultra Japan 2026 for both days. lmk if anyone planning to go so as I was living in California for past few years and don't have people to go with in Tokyo :(
I'm currently living in Tokyo so I can hang you guys around too!
(I'm 21yo male college student btw)
It's day 7 of the Ultra Europe 2026 build-up.
Main Stage:
The vertical trussing has been assembled, and the roof is currently being assembled.
Resistance:
Truck unloading is underway, and the boom lift is ready.
Backstage:
Things have been moved from the VVIP entrance area to make space for the Layher construction. I also saw a lot of Ethernet cables running along the fences and up the light poles, probably for PoE security cameras.
Entrance:
The tents for security checks have been set up. The hole in the asphalt that had been there for a few days has now been asphalted over.
See you tomorrow 😎
It's day 6 of the Ultra Europe 2026 build-up.
Main Stage:
The roof structure is in progress. The left side and the middle section are already done.
Resistance:
No major changes, maybe just a little more material around.
Backstage:
Also not much has changed. The materials are just disappearing from there and ending up on the stage.
Entrance:
They added lights (I forgot to post a picture of them lying on the floor yesterday). I also spotted a network box, so now we know what the fiber-optic cables are for.
See you tomorrow 😎
