Croatia’s Hideout Festival drops first wave of acts
Hideout, one of Europe’s most celebrated electronic music festivals, has announced the first wave of artists for its 2027 edition, returning to the sun-soaked shores of Zrće Beach, Croatia, from 29th June to 2nd July 2027. Bringing together some of the most exciting names in contemporary dance music, the festival’s latest announcement sets the stage for another unforgettable summer of world-class DJs, open-air parties and late nights on the Adriatic coast.
Leading the announcement are the likes of CHRIS STASSY, Max Dean, ALISHA and Josh Baker, all acts helping shape the sound of contemporary underground dance music. Joining them is a formidable selection of house, tech house, garage, techno and beyond, with Girls Don’t Sync, East End Dubs, Ben Hemsley, Ewan McVicar, Interplanetary Criminal, Rossi., Morgan Seatree, Jamie Fielding, Gaskin, Riordan, Locky and Jamback among the many names confirmed.
Having established himself as one of the most in-demand selectors in underground house music, Chris Stassy brings his unmistakable blend of groove-driven productions, infectious basslines and expertly curated sets to Croatia. The Dutch DJ and producer has become a defining figure in the contemporary house movement, building a devoted international following through his releases, performances and influential Up The Stuss imprint.
Also confirmed is Josh Baker, the Manchester-born DJ, producer and founder of the increasingly influential You&Me brand. Having built a devoted following through his groove-led house productions, infectious DJ sets and carefully curated parties, Baker has emerged as one of the standout figures in the UK’s thriving underground house movement. His distinctive blend of rolling basslines, stripped-back rhythms and dancefloor-focused energy makes him a natural fit for Hideout’s beachfront stages ahead of his sell out shows at Finsbury next Summer.
A leading figure in the UK’s thriving house music scene, ALISHA has built an international reputation for her infectious, groove-driven productions and high-energy DJ sets. With a sound rooted in rolling basslines, punchy percussion and irresistible dancefloor rhythms, she has become a firm favourite on the global club and festival circuit. Her unmistakable energy and commanding presence behind the decks make her a perfect addition to Hideout’s 2027 lineup.
Joining her is Max Dean, whose rapid rise through the UK house scene has made him one of the most talked-about names on the circuit. Known for his distinctive, high-energy sound and a growing catalogue of dancefloor weapons, Dean has become a firm favourite with a new generation of clubbers and is set to deliver one of the standout performances of the festival.
The announcement also highlights the incredible depth of talent currently driving electronic music forward.
