GATES OF AGARTHA RETURNS TO CROATIA'S ANCIENT CAVE ROMANE QUARRY JUNE 2026

Gates of Agartha returns to the ancient Cave Romane quarry in Pula from June 4–7 with ANOTR, Mau P, Dennis Cruz, Hot Since 82, Traumer and Mita Gami leading the programme. The four-day event brings a curated selection of underground house, tech and melodic electronic artists to one of the region's most visually distinctive open-air venues. Dutch duo ANOTR perform a special extended sunrise set alongside festival favourite Mau P, Spanish tech-house mainstay Dennis Cruz and UK producer Hot Since 82. Mita Gami joins with his blend of indie electronic and hypnotic grooves, while Avangart Tabldot and Saraga bring genre-fluid sets aligned with the festival's underground direction, with support from Ace Brothers, Zoe Done, Pablo Panda, Mene, Moukaide and Elena Mikac.

A defining feature of Gates of Agartha is its otherworldly location. Set within a 2,000-year-old limestone quarry that once supplied stone for the Pula Arena Roman amphitheatre, Cave Romane is defined by towering 50-metre rock walls and powerful natural acoustics. Located in the coastal village of Vinkuran near Pula, the site sits within Istria's historic landscape, a region often referred to locally as Terra Magica. Founded by brothers Yalim and Yaaz Acar, creators of the Echoes From Agartha festival in Cappadocia, the project focuses on staging electronic music events in historically significant locations, transforming ancient landscapes into cinematic festival settings. The vision has always been to create timeless moments where sound, history and community converge, leaving memories that stay forever.
