Outlook and Hospitality on the Beach on Croatia's Adriatic coast. Let It Roll on a disused Czech airfield — widely called Europe's biggest D&B festival. SunAndBass a week-long institution on Sardinia. Rampage Open Air, said to be the world's largest dedicated D&B event. And two new arrivals for 2026: Outback Festival in Austria and DrumWave on Croatia's Zrće Beach. Eight events, July through September, from €115.
Drum and bass has a smaller festival footprint in Europe than house or techno, but what exists is unusually loyal and unusually concentrated. Croatia's Tisno hosts three of the eight festivals in this guide — Outlook, Outlook Origins and Hospitality on the Beach all use The Garden, a terrace venue overlooking the Adriatic that's become close to a spiritual home for European bass music culture. None of the three compete for the same weekend.
Outside Croatia, the scene splits between one genuinely massive event — Let It Roll, on a disused airfield in the Czech Republic, regularly described as Europe's biggest D&B festival at 30,000 people — and a scatter of boutique and mid-size events that reward the fans who travel for them specifically: SunAndBass on Sardinia, Rampage Open Air in Belgium, and two 2026 newcomers, Outback Festival in Austria and DrumWave on Croatia's Zrće Beach.
Two of the eight — Outback and DrumWave — hadn't published 2026 ticket prices at the time of writing. That's normal for smaller, newer D&B events; check the official sites directly before booking flights.
The global gathering for bass music culture, on a terrace overlooking the Adriatic at The Garden, Tisno. Five days, 10,000 people, €245 — Outlook covers drum and bass, dubstep, grime and reggae with sound system culture at its core rather than as a theme. Camping is included. Zadar is the nearest airport, with Šibenik the closest station before the transfer to Tisno.
The boutique return to Outlook's original intimate scale, at the same Garden venue in Tisno but rooted more specifically in UK bass, drum and bass, dub and grime. Five days, camping included. The 2026 lineup includes Objekt, Kode9 b2b Sully, Donna Leake, re:ni, Sir Spyro and Pinch b2b Beatrice M. Zadar airport, Šibenik station.
A disused airfield in the Czech Republic turned into what's widely considered Europe's biggest drum and bass festival — three days, 30,000 people, camping included, and a lineup consistently drawing the genre's biggest international names. €115 makes it one of the best-value large-scale festivals in this guide. Prague airport with a transfer, or the town of Most itself has a station.
A week-long, 3,000-capacity drum and bass festival on the Sardinian coast that the D&B community consistently rates as the genre's finest boutique event. Artists and fans mix freely rather than being separated backstage, the sea is warm through September, and the music runs from noon until sunrise across the full week. No camping — accommodation is arranged separately in San Teodoro. Olbia airport and station are both nearby.
Hospital Records' own boutique drum and bass festival on the Adriatic at Tisno — the third of the three Tisno-based events in this guide, and the one most focused on liquid and neurofunk. Five days, 3,000 people, €225, with boat parties and beach stages built around the label's own roster. Zadar airport, Šibenik station.
Widely regarded as the world's largest dedicated drum and bass event — four days, 300+ artists across 7+ stages, and a festival village that includes a theme park and skate ramps alongside full on-site camping. Rampage draws a fiercely loyal international D&B crowd every July. Historical pricing has run around €160; confirm current-year pricing on the official site. Brussels airport, with Lommel's own station nearby.
Self-described Austria's biggest drum and bass festival, expanded to four days for 2026 at the Wiesen festival grounds. Over 50 DJs including Black Sun Empire and Mefjus, with on-site camping and a shuttle bus from Vienna. Ticket prices weren't published at the time of writing.
"DNB by the sea" — three days of drum and bass club nights, daytime beach sessions and Adriatic boat parties on Zrće Beach, Croatia's best-known party strip. No on-site camping; accommodation is via nearby apartments on Pag Island. Ticket prices weren't published at the time of writing. Zadar or Split airport, then a bus to Novalja.

Open the Map →Croatia's Tisno does for drum and bass what it does for house music — hosts multiple, non-competing festivals on the same short stretch of Adriatic coast. Outlook Origins runs in late July, Hospitality on the Beach in early July, and the flagship Outlook Festival itself in early September. None overlap. A dedicated D&B fan could realistically build an entire Croatian summer around all three without repeating a lineup or a venue.
Let It Roll and Rampage Open Air operate at a different scale entirely from the Tisno festivals — 30,000 and mass-multi-stage respectively, against 3,000–10,000 for the Croatian events. Both are described by their own communities in superlative terms (Europe's biggest, the world's largest dedicated event), and both back that up with the kind of production budget only that scale can support: 7+ stages at Rampage, a full disused airfield at Let It Roll.
Outback Festival and DrumWave are 2026 additions that fill real gaps — Austria had no dedicated D&B festival of note in this dataset before Outback, and DrumWave adds a specifically D&B-focused event to Zrće Beach, which was previously known mainly for its mixed-genre club scene. Neither has published pricing yet, which is normal for younger or smaller events — budget flexibility and check close to booking.
This splits cleanly by scale. Let It Roll, Outlook Festival, Outlook Origins, Rampage and Outback all include camping. SunAndBass, Hospitality on the Beach and DrumWave do not — all three are beach-adjacent events where accommodation is arranged in nearby towns rather than on-site, which changes the budget calculation meaningfully. Factor accommodation into the true cost before comparing prices across festivals.
Selling out: SunAndBass and Hospitality on the Beach are the smallest-capacity events here and tend to move fastest. Let It Roll and Rampage have more capacity but their loyal followings mean early tickets are still the safer bet.
The GemFest connection: if UK garage, jungle and house alongside drum and bass in one bill appeals more than a D&B-exclusive lineup, GemFest in Wiltshire — covered in the boutique techno guide — is worth a look; it isn't repeated here to avoid double-counting a mixed-genre event.
30,000 people, camping included, and consistently rated Europe's biggest drum and bass festival — for €115. The clearest best-value pick in this guide.
A 3,000-cap week-long event where artists and fans mix freely and the music runs from noon until sunrise. The D&B community's own favourite for a reason.
300+ artists, 7+ stages, a theme park in the festival village. Widely regarded as the world's largest dedicated drum and bass event.
The global gathering for bass music culture on an Adriatic terrace. Bigger and longer-running than its Tisno neighbours, with sound system culture at its centre.
Outlook's own return to its original scale — UK bass, dub and grime in a boutique format at the same Garden venue, with a genuinely underground 2026 lineup.
Self-described Austria's biggest D&B festival, now expanded to four days. Pricing isn't out yet, but the lineup — Black Sun Empire, Mefjus — is already serious.
