Ultra music festival was held in Split, Croatia last week for the second time. Ultra is a world known festival which is now expending to all continents in the world. We all know the original one, held in Miami every Spring and now the European version which was firstly organized last Summer in Croatia.
This year me and my friends decided to attend it, because we could not say no to a party this big!We got to Split on Thursday a day before Ultra started. So of course we had to attend a few pre-parties as well which were amazing by the way!
Ultra started on Friday and ended on Sunday. The artists at this incredible event were: Hardwell, Nicky Romero, Martin Garrix, Fedde Le Grand, Above and Beyond, Example, Showtek, The Chainsmokers, Deorro, Armin Van Buuren, David Guetta, Sebastian Ingrosso, Knife Party, Laidback Luke, DJ Snake, Blasterjaxx, Steve Aoki, Alesso, Tiesto, Afrojack, W&W, Sunnery James & Ryan Marciano, Twoloud, Adriano Fuerte, Mossel, Disclosure, Cosmic Gate, Gramatik, Carl Cox and many more amazing music artists.
My friends had some words to share, which I think is the best part of this whole journey. Sharing moments like this with people who find this as spectacular as I do is simply indescribable.
Ines Kolar:
I mostly liked the ambience and the people, a lot of youngsters all around the stadium. People actually wore masks just for this event, I find that really clever and fun. Light show was fantastic as well as the fireworks. My favorite artists were: Armin Van Buuren, Tiesto and Alesso.
Maja Ček a.k.a. DJ GLIA:
As a regular visitor of festivals, I must definitely say that Ultra Europe brought it to the next level this year, the lineup was a sick as it can get, the stage was much more improved and on a whole different level than last year. I loved the fact the main stage had only the best of the best djs and also the fact that the ''small stage'' was occupied with visitors at all time, it gave the whole festival the underground feeling so it covered all the genres from trance to house, from deep house to dubstep. As a lover of almost all the genres of electronic music I must say that for me the best opening performance with a deep house taste was Disclsoure, the best performance that was on the main stage was definitely Hardwell, he gave the crowd so much energy it was almost unbelievable , also his mix was flawless, really good track list and good mixing. The DJ who was must unusual for lots of visitors was DJ Snake, as he introduced quite a new music genre called Trap to the audience, which gave Ultra a whole different taste. My top five would so be DIsclosure, Dj snake, Laidback Luke, Hardwell and Armin van Burren, it's rather hard to do this charts as every single artists gave the crowd the very best it could. Ultra definitely getting better, worth while visiting next year.
