INmusic Festival #18 2026 Zagreb, Croatia
Overview
INmusic Festival stands as Croatia’s largest and most prestigious open-air contemporary music festival, set to celebrate its 18th edition in 2026. Located on the beautiful Youth Island (Otok hrvatske mladeži) in the middle of Lake Jarun in Zagreb, the festival provides a unique “festival-within-a-city” experience. It has earned a global reputation for its high-caliber programming, featuring a mix of legendary rock icons, indie favorites, and world music pioneers, all while maintaining a relaxed and intimate atmosphere that contrasts with larger, more commercial European events.
The 2026 edition continues the tradition of transforming the lush greenery of Lake Jarun into a vibrant cultural hub for three days. The festival is famous for its unique stages, including the Replica of the Nikola Tesla Tower and various hidden forest stages that offer a diverse range of genres. With the stunning backdrop of the lake and the historical charm of Zagreb just a short tram ride away, INmusic offers the perfect blend of a natural retreat and an urban musical holiday, making it a favorite for both locals and international travelers.
Event Highlights
- World-Class Headliners: The festival consistently hosts major global acts ranging from indie-rock legends to modern electronic innovators across its Main Stage.
- The Tesla Tower Stage: A one-of-a-kind stage that is a 360-degree audio-visual tribute to Nikola Tesla, serving as a landmark and a hub for experimental sounds.
- Island Camping Experience: Unique camping facilities located on two separate islands connected by a bridge, providing a true nature-focused stay within the city limits.
- Cultural Side Events: Beyond the music, attendees can enjoy theater performances, digital art installations, and traditional Croatian gastronomy workshops.
Why Attend
INmusic Festival is the ideal choice for music fans who appreciate a curated, high-quality lineup without the overwhelming crowds of massive mega-festivals. The setting on Lake Jarun is unparalleled; you can spend your mornings swimming in the lake or exploring the historic streets of Zagreb before heading to the stages in the afternoon. It is widely regarded as one of the best value-for-money festivals in Europe, offering a top-tier production and world-famous artists at a fraction of the cost of Western European events.

FAQ's
What is the "Seven-Day Camping" ticket and what does it include?
The camping ticket allows you to stay on the festival island for a full week, starting several days before the music begins. It includes access to hot showers, phone charging stations, free Wi-Fi zones, and a dedicated "Silent Party" area for campers. Please note that you must bring your own camping gear (tents and sleeping bags) as the festival does not provide them as standard.
How do I pay for food and drinks inside the festival grounds?
INmusic uses a completely cashless payment system where your festival wristband acts as your digital wallet. You can top up your wristband at various "Top-Up" points using cash or credit cards throughout the festival site. Any unspent balance can be refunded to you at the festival or online after the event, subject to the festival's refund policy.
Can I swim in Lake Jarun during the festival?
Yes, swimming is permitted in Lake Jarun and it is a very popular activity for festival-goers during the hot afternoons. There are designated beach areas with lifeguards on duty, but please follow all posted safety signs and avoid swimming under the influence. The water quality is regularly tested and the lake is a favorite recreational spot for the citizens of Zagreb.
Are there lockers available to store my passport and valuables?
The camping area provides a limited number of safety lockers where you can securely store your most important documents and small electronics. It is highly recommended to reserve a locker upon arrival as they are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. The festival also has a "Lost and Found" office located near the main entrance to assist with any items misplaced during the event.
Is there a specific dress code or weather preparation I should consider?
There is no dress code, but we recommend bringing comfortable walking shoes and a lightweight rain jacket just in case of a summer shower. June in Zagreb is generally very warm, so sun protection and staying hydrated are essential for enjoying the full three days. Because the festival is on an island with grass and forest paths, it is best to avoid formal footwear or high heels.
