CLOSER Festival makes its European debut in Bosnia — a 3-day camping experience set beside one of Europe's largest man-made lakes, beneath Livno's Kamensko mountain range.
Founded by SPEZ and evolved from Australia's acclaimed underground series via Warg Records, CLOSER blends forward-thinking techno programming with the natural and cultural landscape of the Balkans.
Alongside two stages of international and emerging artists, the festival features lakeside swimming, wellness spaces, traditional Bosnian coffee through "Ritam Kahve", local food, bars and curated excursions to Livno's wild horses.
A place 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. I 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.
