The summer of 2018 will bring the final Soundwave Festival in Croatia, concluding the epic odyssey on its tenth anniversary. As one of the longest running events in the dazzling Adriatic region, Soundwave has masterfully blended a diverse range of music with a mesmerizing getaway to create one glorious weekend. This will be the last chance to experience what is widely regarded as one of Europe’s finest boutique events, celebrating a decade of festivals in its spiritual home of Tisno. So mark your calendars for Thursday the 26th through Monday, July 30th for the festival experience of a lifetime that you don’t want to miss.
The last Soundwave is an opportunity to take in the idyllic Dalmatian coastline one more time and savor some of the world’s finest live artists and DJs. The impressive first line-up was just announced. Soundwave will welcome Jordan Rakei, Romare (Live), Submotion Orchestra (Live), Horse Meat Disco, DJ Marky, Sons Of Kemet, Channel One Soundsystem, Riot Jazz (Live), Al Dobson Jr, Tenderlonious, Mahalia, Chunky, SNO, Desta, Jonny Dub, Rich Reason, DJ Gilla, DJ BobaFatt and DJ Mo Fingaz, with many more to be revealed.
Soundwave has confirmed that they will be partnering with Soundcrash, First Word Records, 22a Records, Hoya:Hoya, Main Squeeze, South London Soul Train, Hidden, Tuckshop, Bruk Up, and Good Life.
Noah Ball, one of Soundwave’s founders, explains:
“It’s not been an easy decision to bring Soundwave to a close in 2018, but for us it also feels like the right one to make, too. We’ve had an amazing run in Croatia, from the first years in Petrcane and now in Tisno, and we all look back with great pride and affection for what we have achieved in the last 9 years here in this wonderful country. Finishing on our tenth year will bring everything together into one last adventure and we intend to make it a fitting climax for the festival and everyone who has ever been a part of it, from the music lovers around the world who come each year, the artists who are like our friends and all of the crew involved. It’s going to be a very special few day’s next summer as we say goodbye to Soundwave, and we are putting together a line-up representative of the festival’s unique sound. It’s certainly going to be emotional – we hope to see lots of old faces and new joining us for this final edition!”
