Stop Making Sense is a new music festival taking place September 3-5 on Croatia’s Adriatic coast.

SMS and London, Glasgow and Paris’s top promoters will bring a dazzling array of DJ and live talent to the village of Petrçane, with beach and boat parties galore.

The full line-up has yet to be announced, but some of the promoters involved are Need2Soul, SĂĽd Electronic, Warm, Allez-Allez, Fantasy Island, Swap-A-Rama, Deviation, Optimo, SubClub, Secretsundaze and Deviation. Oh, and your very own FACT will be hosting a boat party with some very special guests.

London’s SĂĽd Electronic has become a byword for quality deep house and techno, and they’ll be bringing Tama Sumo (Ostgut Ton / Panorama Bar) and Lakuti among others to Croatia’s shores. JD Twitch, JG Wilkes and SENSU will represent Optimo on the festival’s main stage (Saturday) and a boat party.

SMS organisers Chris Greenwood and Alex Ruello say:

“We are delighted to have found such a brilliant spot to put on our first event, combining great weather, excellent value transport + accommodation, superb food & hospitality. The facilities are top notch, the villagers super friendly…and sunshine virtually guaranteed. We couldn’t really have asked for more!”

Early bird tickets are an uncommonly reasonable ÂŁ60 for three days and nights. Flights to Zadar, 20 minutes away from the festival site, are currently available for around ÂŁ120.

We’ll be announcing the full line-up for the festival very soon.
