The very first artist announcement for the eighth Sea Star Festival already confirms that one of its most unforgettable editions is coming this May.
The main stage in the lagoon will be taken over by the masked techno deity and one of the biggest names in the history of the genre – the great Boris Brejcha! Alongside the German superstar, Stella Maris will also be swept away by the unique music-environmental spectacle Emergency EXIT, which this year ceremonially opened EXIT Festival’s 25th anniversary celebrations, as well as the renowned Boom Festival in Portugal. The central figure of Emergency EXIT is the highly acclaimed electronic producer Satori, and the performance is a collaboration between EXIT, Boom Festival, and the famed collective La Fura dels Baus, known for creating performance spectacles worldwide, including at the Olympic Games opening ceremony. Also confirmed are two exceptionally talented artists – American shining star Layla Benitez, electro-scene wunderkind Lanna, and a host of regional DJs and producers gathered around the Electric Waves stage.
This is just the beginning of an unmatched artist lineup — many more names are coming soon! The first, limited batch of tickets for the eighth Sea Star Festival goes on sale Tuesday, 9 December at noon, and will be available for up to 24 hours, or until the allocation sells out.
Sea Star Festival returns for the eighth time to the stunning Stella Maris lagoon in Umag. The first festival of the season will take place 28–31 May 2026, with more exciting news and artists to be announced soon.
