CLOSER Festival makes its European debut in Bosnia from 24th–26th July 2026 with a 3 day camping experience set beside one of Europe’s largest man-made lakes beneath Livno’s Kamensko mountain range.

Founded by SPEZ and evolved from Australia’s acclaimed underground series via Warg Records, CLOSER blends forward-thinking techno programming with the natural and cultural landscape of the Balkans. Alongside two stages of international and emerging artists, the festival will feature lakeside swimming, wellness spaces, traditional Bosnian coffee experiences through “Ritam Kahve”, local food, bars and curated excursions to Livno’s nearby wild horses.

The lineup features the likes of Dax J, Daria Kolosova, SLAM, Colin Benders (Live), Estella Boersma, Stef Mendesidis (Live), Rene Wise, Yanamaste, Cleric, Dasha Rush, Ignez, Alarico and many more, alongside curated stage takeovers from Amsterdam’s Vault Sessions, Frazi.er’s PLTFRM, and Manchester’s Clergy Records, the influential label and platform founded by Cleric. All recognised as key forces within the underground techno landscape.

More than just a festival, CLOSER aims to create an immersive cultural and musical escape rooted in connection, environment and underground electronic music culture.

Tickets are sold via our official ticketing partner, Ticket4You.
