Gates of Agartha has revealed the line-up for its 2026 Croatia edition, returning to the ancient Cave Romane quarry in Pula from June 4–7 with ANOTR, Mau P, Dennis Cruz, Hot Since 82, Traumer and Mita Gami leading the programme. The four-day event brings a curated selection of underground house, tech and melodic electronic artists to one of the region’s most visually distinctive open-air venues.
Headliners include Dutch duo ANOTR, performing a special extended sunrise set, alongside festival favourite Mau P, Spanish tech-house mainstay Dennis Cruz and UK producer Hot Since 82. Mita Gami joins with his blend of indie electronic and hypnotic grooves, while Avangart Tabldot and Saraga bring genre-fluid sets aligned with the festival’s underground direction.
Minimal specialist Traumer will perform exclusively at the June 4 opening party at Pula Castle for Full Experience guests, setting the tone for the main programme across June 5–6 at Cave Romane. Support across the weekend comes from Ace Brothers, Zoe Done, Pablo Panda, Mene, Moukaide and Elena Mikac, completing a line-up rooted in underground house, minimal, deep tech and melodic sounds.
Founded by brothers Yalim and Yaaz Acar, creators of the Echoes From Agartha festival in Cappadocia, the project focuses on staging electronic music events in historically significant locations, transforming ancient landscapes into cinematic festival settings.
“Gates of Agartha was never meant to be just another festival, it is a portal to history, time, and technology. We create experiences in places that carry the ancient energy, building each chapter around the spirit of the location itself in a cinematic way.”
say founders Yalim & Yaaz Acar.
A defining feature of Gates of Agartha is its otherworldly location. Set within a 2,000-year-old limestone quarry that once supplied stone for the Pula Arena Roman amphitheatre, Cave Romane is defined by towering 50-metre rock walls and powerful natural acoustics. Located in the coastal village of Vinkuran near Pula, the site sits within Istria’s historic landscape, a region often referred to locally as Terra Magica.
From Cappadocia, Turkey to Cave Romane in Croatia, our vision has always been to craft moments that feel timeless and create a true sense of belonging, where sound, history, and the community converge, leaving memories that stay with our attendees forever.”
say founders Yalim & Yaaz Acar.
