In 2026, the Sea Sound Festival held its third edition from Thursday, July 16, to Sunday, July 19, in the Martinska area in Šibenik, Croatia. Sea Sound Festival was born as a direct successor and descendant of the legendary Seasplash Festival—the longest-running local festival dedicated to bass music and sound system culture, with a tradition spanning nearly a quarter of a century. All musical programming for this year’s edition took place across two stages: the Live Sound stage was powered by the Seasplash Sound System, while the sound on the Bass Sound stage resonated from the Nettle Sound System.
Day One: Thursday, July 16
The third edition of the Sea Sound Festival got off to a powerful start at Martinska. The lineup took place on the Live Sound stage powered by the Seasplash Sound System. The evening was kicked off by Dubmx, followed by a set from Mef SVS, with Bass Matters continuing to warm up the atmosphere. The highlight of the first night was a performance led by Hornsman Coyote & Ras Milenko, while the Roadtripper crew brought the night to a memorable close.
Day Two: Friday, July 17
On the second day of the festival, the music program unfolded across both stages. On the Live Sound stage, the opening section of the evening belonged to Systamatic and Hyko Dubz, after whom the Franco-Croatian duo Joke & Chakka got the crowd dancing. Next up were Anja G & Dr. Obi with their signature Live Dub Mix.
Concurrently, the Bass Sound stage powered by Nettle Sound System delivered heavy rhythms and sets brought to you by Kocka, Pilif, Spooky M, and UPDXG.
Day Three: Saturday, July 18
Saturday night brought the peak of the festival’s excitement. On the Live Sound stage, Hvala Sven opened the program, followed by the Roots in the Woods crew. Next, RH Space Orkestra and Beetantone took over the stage, leading up to the evening’s culmination: a powerful performance by Wicked and Bonny’s Echo Syndicate.
Over on the Bass Sound stage, the audience enjoyed deep basslines and selections delivered by Mulholland, Grumen, Th’Acquisition, and Monosi.
Day Four: Sunday, July 19
The final day of the festival brought a laid-back, community-driven “Last Session” finale. The all-day program on the Live Sound stage was hosted by Team Sea Sound / Seasplash Sound System + friends via an Open Desk format, providing the perfect wrap-up to this four-day sound system adventure at Martinska.
