About
Papuktech is a forest rave born from a shared passion for techno, nature, and raw connection. Set in the untouched meadows of Livade, beneath the slopes of Papuk mountain and the ancient fortress ruins, the event brings together pounding beats and open skies for a night of pure sonic release.
It is a volunteer-driven gathering built with love by a small but dedicated crew who believe in creating something real, something that moves people.
There are no VIP booths or big companies here, just a powerful sound system, carefully curated techno, and a dancefloor under the trees. Papuktech is our first step toward something bigger: a weekend-long festival that celebrates local talent, underground energy, and the unique beauty of this region. We want this to grow organically, powered by those who come, dance, and return.
By joining us, you're not just attending, you're helping shape the future of a festival we hope will one day be recognised across the region. Be part of it from the beginning. Help us build something wild, real, and unforgettable!
Location
Nestled beneath the slopes of Papuk mountain and the medieval "Stari Grad" ruins, Livade is a hidden meadow surrounded by forest, fresh air, and natural springs.
