Love International 2020, Croatia: Antal, Hunee, Palms Trax, Shanti Celeste, Saoirse, Moxie, Peach, Khruangbin (DJ set), Ben UFO, Craig Richards, Eris Drew, Octo Octa and many more

Love International is back in Tisno next summer.

The defining Adriatic odyssey is celebrating its 5th anniversary following on from last year’s sold out edition, and returns once more to a beatific slice of paradise nestled on the Dalmatian coastline, an intimate pine-shaded hideaway like no other.

The festival takes place from Wed 15th – Tues 21st July 2020, and the brand-new date will see a renewed focus on what has made Love International one of Europe’s last bastions of innovative and forward-thinking music.

Taking in wild boat parties, lazy sun-kissed days, beautiful dawns breaking over Barbarella’s, slow-simmering Sunrise Sessions by the water’s edge and the exclusive Secret Island party to conclude the odyssey, it remains a heady mix of a holiday and festival as one. The 5th season in Tisno will feature its most adventurous programming to date, with the ethos once more fashioned around the best and not the biggest, bringing together all the elements which have created such a revered experience.
Love International features a vibrant mix of DJs, producers and artists mixing it up with labels, collectives and showcases from around the world, all converging for a few days and nights of unparalleled escapism. Musically Love International is one of the region’s most diverse events, spanning house to techno to dub to Balearic, and uniquely during the weekend’s peak the festival runs 24 hours a day.

The team at Love International are incredibly proud to reveal the first wave of headline names, and as part of the anniversary it features a series of specially curated back-2-back sessions which encapsulate the festival’s ethos. Playing together as a trio for the very first time, Antal b2b Hunee Trax b2b Palms Trax link up in a world’s first for what will be one of the most anticipated sets of the year. Further tantalising partnerships see Love International faves Shanti Celeste b2b Saoirse b2b Moxie b2b Peach teaming up, whilst Ben UFO and Craig Richards make a welcome return for one of their rare b2bs. Eris Drew and Octo Octa join up for a first time b2b in Tisno where they will share their celebration of love for each other through the music they play, whilst Studio Barnhus’ Axel Boman b2b Kornél Kovács b2b Pedrodollar offer a genre-blending set.

Further revered artists for the initial announcement converging on Tisno include Khruangbin (DJ set), Midland, Avalon Emerson, Andrew Weatherall, Optimo, Crazy P Soundsystem, Gerd Janson, Haai, Horse Meat Disco, Paranoid London, Roman Flügel, DJ Tennis, Job Jobse, Orpheu The Wizard, Ivan Smagghe and Love Fingers.

Love International has a firm focus on new talent too, and they are proud to announce Body Hammer, Carista, Chaos in the CBD, Danielle, Elena Colombi, Nosedrip, Phunong Dan, Ross from friends (DJ set), Roza Terenzi, Yu Su and Project Pablo play for the first time. Plus there’s support from the returning Bruce b2b Hodge, Jonny Rock, Heidi Lawden and Budino.

Tom Paine, Love International’s co-founder, explains, “We love our Tisno home and can’t wait to be back for our 5th year to celebrate with everyone. Five years in the making has seen Love International continue to evolve into what we believe is the perfect mix of our festival and a holiday in a truly stunning coastal location. And as part of this, we have got some incredible back to back sessions lined up from some of the festival’s most iconic DJs, including that world first from Hunee, Palms Trax and Antal. There’s a great sense of community from everyone who comes from all over the world, from guests to the DJs and artists to the locality itself, and we can’t wait to be back.
