INmusic Festival returns to Zagreb's Lake Jarun

INmusic Festival takes over Lake Jarun in Zagreb from 22 to 24 June 2026, a three-day open-air weekend marking the festival’s 20th anniversary. If you are in the capital this week, expect the lakeside to be busy and the city’s hotels and transport under pressure — book and plan ahead.

Dates, venue and lineup

The festival runs over three days, 22–24 June 2026, on the islands and shoreline of Lake Jarun, the recreational lake in the west of Zagreb that has hosted INmusic for years. This year’s headliners span three nights:

• 22 June — Jack White, making his Croatian debut on the opening day.
• 23 June — Gorillaz, performing in front of a Croatian audience for the very first time.
• 24 June — Kings of Leon, headlining the closing night.

Also on the bill are IDLES, The Flaming Lips and Manic Street Preachers, alongside a deep supporting lineup across the festival stages.

What it means for your trip

With tens of thousands of fans converging on the capital, demand for accommodation and transport rises sharply over the festival weekend. If you are coming for the music, book a room early and budget extra time for getting around. Jarun is connected to the centre by tram, and many festival-goers camp on Youth Island by the lake.

Plan around it

Even if you are not here for INmusic, it is worth knowing the dates: central Zagreb is livelier and pricier over the weekend of 22–24 June.
