Dimensions 2027 first artists: Helena Hauff, Theo Parrish and 90+ names for the 15th anniversary
Dimensions Festival 2027 runs from 26 to 31 August at The Garden and Barbarella's in Tisno, Croatia, marking the festival's 15th anniversary. The first wave names more than 90 artists, including Helena Hauff, Rhadoo, DJ Masda, Francesco Del Garda and Dyed Soundorom, with Theo Parrish returning and A Guy Called Gerald playing live. More names follow in early 2027.
Dimensions has revealed the first wave of artists for its 2027 edition, the 15th in the festival's history. The event returns to The Garden and Barbarella's in Tisno, on the Croatian coast, from 26 to 31 August 2027. The announcement, reported this week by Resident Advisor and Electronic Groove, names more than 90 artists, and the festival says over a third of them are making their Dimensions debut.
Many of the first names are festival regulars. Helena Hauff, Rhadoo, DJ Masda, Francesco Del Garda, The Ghost and Kia are all back, alongside Eli Verveine, Dyed Soundorom and PARAMIDA. A Guy Called Gerald is booked for a live performance, and Moroccan selector Malika is on the bill. Egyptian DJ Zeina has also been confirmed.
The headline return is Theo Parrish, who plays Dimensions for the first time since the festival left its original home at Fort Punta Christo near Pula. Debutants include Alexander Skancke, Cabanne, DJ Godfather and Dee Diggs. The first wave also lists several back to back pairings, among them Angel D'lite b2b tINI, dj sweet6teen b2b Katia Curie, and Dyed Soundorom b2b E.LINA.
The festival says more artists will follow in early 2027, together with the line up for its boat parties and afterhours events, which have long been a central part of the Tisno experience.
The shape of this first wave is typical of Dimensions and worth studying. Rather than leading with a handful of global headliners, it books deep: underground house, techno, electro and minimal names with loyal followings, many of them regulars who have grown with the festival. The large share of debut bookings shows that the door stays open to newer artists, as long as the fit with the festival's sound is right.
For artists and managers, the late August slot is a useful one. It sits at the tail end of the European summer, when many acts are routing between Croatian coastal events and the start of the autumn club season. If you represent an act that fits the Dimensions sound, the coming months are the time to build relationships with the boat party and afterhours hosts, whose line ups are still to be announced.
