Ultra Europe is the biggest electronic festival in Europe by attendance. Three days at Park Mladeži, Split — July 10-12, 2026, the festival’s home venue since it moved from Stadion Poljud in 2019. ~150,000 people over the weekend. Multiple stages including the main + RESISTANCE for underground techno/house, plus the official boat parties on the Adriatic and the “Destination Ultra” satellite events at Hvar (Resistance Hvar) and Brač.
If you’re going, you’re not in the stadium 24 hours a day. You’re at a villa or Airbnb during the morning. You’re on a boat in the afternoon. You’re pre-gaming at someone’s terrace before main-stage doors at 19:00. That’s where renting your own sound system matters.
What gear actually makes sense for an Ultra weekend
Villa pre-game (afternoon → 19:00 main stage open): Most groups rent a villa in Split, Trogir, or out toward Brač. Pre-game starts 16:00 with drinks, gradually winds up to “let’s go” by 18:30. The sweet spot is a battery speaker plus basic DJ controller so someone in the group can warm up the energy.
- Bose S1 Pro+ — €85/day. The default villa speaker. Loud enough for 20-40 people on a terrace, battery means you don’t need to find a power outlet near the pool.
- Pioneer DDJ-FLX4 — €65/day. Entry DJ controller, runs rekordbox or Serato off your laptop. Whoever in the group fancies themselves a DJ gets a 90-minute warm-up slot.
- Villa Sundowner package — €150/day. The above + a wireless mic for the toast moments. Bundled discount over à la carte.
Bigger setup (50+ people villa party): If your group is doing a full pre-event party (not just a chill warm-up), you need real output.
- JBL PartyBox 710 — €110/day. Loudest battery PA we rent. 27 kg, so two people to move it, but the output handles a 50-person villa garden easily.
- 4× LED PAR uplight set — €95/day. Turn the villa terrace into a proper venue. Sound-activated, no DMX needed.
- Birthday with the Lights package — €225/day. PartyBox + DJ controller + uplights + smoke. Full kit.
Boat party day: Ultra has official boat parties (Destination Ultra), but the unofficial group charters are where the real fun happens. Battery-only for boats.
- Yacht Sundowner package — €175/day. 2× Bose S1 Pro+ paired in stereo, DJ controller, wireless mic. The default for a 6-12 person yacht day.

Delivery logistics
We’re based near Split. For Ultra Europe specifically, this is the easiest delivery zone we cover.
- Pickup from our depot: free. Reasonable if you’re staying in central Split and have transport.
- Doorstep delivery to your villa: €50 (Split city + Trogir + Solin + Kaštela area). Most groups choose this — gear arrives morning of, picked up morning after.
- Brač / Hvar: +€30 / +€180 respectively (ferry surcharge for Hvar). Lots of Ultra groups stay on Brač for the cheaper villa rates; ferry is short.
- See Split zone delivery for the full breakdown.
Reserve ahead — Ultra weekend is when we run out
The week of Ultra is our busiest of the year. Reserve 2-3 weeks ahead if you want guaranteed gear. Last-minute is doable but rush-fee territory, and certain headline items (DDJ-REV5, Yacht Sundowner package) often sell out for Ultra weekend specifically.
Other stuff to know
- Park Mladeži is the city sports park about 1 km from Poljud (Ultra moved here from the stadium in 2019 because Hajduk Split’s UEFA Europa League fixtures kept colliding with the festival window). It’s surrounded by residential streets, hotels, the shopping centre, and public transport — don’t bring our gear within 500m of the venue perimeter during festival hours; police are strict on amplified sound nearby.
- Heat: Split in July averages 30-32°C daytime. Battery PAs handle the heat fine; don’t leave them in direct midday sun though.
- Closing party: Sunday night’s main-stage close is the biggest moment. By Monday morning most groups are back at their villa or hotel for the recovery — that’s the day to have a chill battery speaker on the terrace, not a 27kg party rig.
