FIRST PART OF “GARDEN OF DREAMS FESTIVAL 2026” UNVEILED

From June 13 to 19, 2026, Sarajevo will transform into a stage of dreams, hosting seven days filled with music, art, and unique encounters. The city will come alive as different forms of expression merge into a shared space—ranging from unforgettable dance moments to artistic gatherings, conversations, and exploration.

The opening day brings a long-awaited and symbolic location. For the first time, a dance floor will be set up in front of the National Museum of Bosnia and Herzegovina. In the very heart of the city, along a major roadway, the audience will dance in front of one of the country’s most iconic buildings, accompanied by a special audio-visual show that will transform this historic site into a modern dreamlike stage.

The night’s headliner is Denis Sulta, a favorite among Sarajevo audiences, whose set on Wilson’s Promenade two years ago is still widely talked about. Known for his charisma and unpredictable selections, Sulta returns to lead the crowd into new sonic journeys. Supporting him is a strong regional and local lineup featuring Ilija Djokovic, Bonjasky, Surrender Discipline, Doel, and More Than You.

DANCING ABOVE THE CITY STREETS

The second day is reserved for a rooftop experience at one of the city’s most beloved locations—the building of Svjetlost. High above the busy streets, this venue offers a unique setting for festival-goers.

Headlining the lineup is Priku, a leading name in the minimal music scene, who will perform in Sarajevo for the first time, bringing his signature hypnotic sound. He will be joined by Affair, Fedja Knajdl, Torres, Lubnya, and Not Yet, along with emerging talents from the Garden of Dreams platform.

MORE THAN MUSIC

The festival once again highlights its multidisciplinary character. At the Bosnian Cultural Center, audiences will have the chance to attend the Sarajevo premiere of the play “Nebitno,” performed by talented actor Kerim Čutuna. The play is part of a major regional tour, and its inclusion in the festival program reinforces the platform’s vision of connecting diverse forms of creative expression.

“From the very beginning, we wanted to create a space where music naturally meets other forms of art. Today, our festival lives that idea as a platform for encounters, dialogue, and collective creation,” the organizers stated.

TICKETS AND WHAT’S NEXT

This is only the first part of the festival lineup. With artwork by Benjamin Čengić and visual identity created by Nihad Hodžić already capturing attention, audiences eagerly await the rest of the program, which will be announced soon.

Visitors can expect seven days of events, new and previously undiscovered locations, a global sound, and a truly multidisciplinary experience. A limited number of promotional tickets is currently available via the Kupikartu.ba service.
