Exactly one month from now, from September 11th to 14th, Šibenik will once again become the musical and cultural hub of the Adriatic. SHIP Festival 2025 brings a record-breaking 49 artists from Croatia and abroad, along with 114 speakers from the music industry, reaffirming its status as one of the most important regional events dedicated to contemporary music and professional networking.
This year’s SHIP will take place across six attractive stages throughout Šibenik, and for the first time the program will extend into Sunday, delivering a late-summer finale filled with concerts, panels, workshops, and seaside gatherings. The organizers have released the official daily schedule.
The audience will be able to enjoy top-class concerts by both Croatian and international acts – from major stars such as Kalush Orchestra and Adult DVD to regional and local favorites, with a diverse range of genres spanning indie, electronic, ethno-fusion, rap and rock. The conference segment will gather 114 speakers from around the world, including producers, agents, managers, journalists, and other music industry professionals, creating a space for sharing knowledge, experiences, and forging new collaborations.
Alongside the already announced legendary Kevin Cole (KEXP) and the prestigious media partners of this year’s edition – Rolling Stone UK, CLASH, and The Line of Best Fit – Šibenik will welcome a host of big names from the global music scene and music business. Among them are Lisa Branigan (Glastonbury Green Futures Festivals / Re-play Music C.I.C., UK), Mark Bona (Sziget Festival, HU), Caitilin-Finn Ballard (ATC Live, UK), Christine Semba (WOMEX, Piranha Arts, FR/DE), Christof Ellinghaus (City Slang, DE), Ellie Rumbold (Partisan Records, UK/DE), Filip Košťálek (Colours of Ostrava, CZ), Sofia Ilyas (Beatport, UK) and Wiecher Troost (Amsterdam Dance Event, NL). Their presence guarantees that Šibenik will become the epicenter of global music networking for four days.
“This year’s SHIP is the biggest so far – both in the number of performers and speakers, as well as in the diversity of the program. With the schedule now released, audiences can start planning their festival days, and we can’t wait to see Šibenik come alive with the rhythm of music,” say the organizers.
