CLOSER Festival makes its European debut in Bosnia from
24th–26th July 2026, delivering a unique
3-day camping experience beside one of Europe’s
largest man-made lakes beneath Livno’s breathtaking Kamensko
mountain range.
The Story
Founded by SPEZ and evolved from Australia’s acclaimed underground series through Warg Records, CLOSER combines forward-thinking techno programming with the natural beauty and cultural heritage of the Balkans.
More than a music festival, it is an immersive destination experience where music, landscape and community come together.
The Experience
- Two stages featuring international and emerging artists
- Lakeside swimming and relaxation areas
- Wellness and recovery spaces
- Traditional Bosnian coffee experiences through “Ritam Kahve”
- Local food vendors and bars
- Excursions to Livno’s wild horses
“Where nature becomes part of the music, and music becomes part of the landscape.”

THE EXPERIENCE

Mountain Landscape
Beyond the final bassline and the first sunrise lies something even more powerful — the untouched nature of Livno. Surrounded by the mountain ranges of Cincar, Kamešnica and Tušnica. That’s exactly why Livno was chosen as the European home of CLOSER — a place where nature becomes part of the music, and music becomes part of the landscape.

Lakeside Escape
Imagine the morning after an all-night set: the sun rising above the mountains, friends drinking coffee by the water, while you step into one of the largest artificial lakes in Europe. No rush. No schedules. Just the feeling of being completely disconnected from the outside world. CLOSER merges underground culture with the raw beauty of the Balkans in a way Europe has never experienced before.
Camping

No overcrowded cities. No artificial festival feeling. Just clean air, sound and freedom. Two stages, an international lineup, mountains in the background and water just steps away from your tent. It’s hard to find another European festival that feels like this. That’s exactly why CLOSER is already attracting the global underground community to Livno.

Ritam Kahve
The campsite at Buško Lake transforms into a temporary village of underground culture. This is where you meet people from all over the world, wake up next to the water, share morning Bosnian coffee in the “Ritam Kahve” zone and end the night beneath the stars with one of the strongest techno lineups of the summer.
