About this festival
On Crete’s north-east coast, Bateleur takes over an entire holiday resort for four days. From 22 to 25 October 2026, Elounda Bay Palace in Elounda becomes the festival site, with music, workshops and relaxation spread across the resort. Rather than a traditional festival field with tented stages, the hotel gardens, pool area and coast shape the daytime programme before DJ sets take over in the evening.
House is at the heart of the line-up. Dennis Ferrer, Miguelle & Tons, Bontan, Omri. and Rafael are announced, alongside CJ Jeff, Niv Yefet, Hard To Tell, Bonafique, N.O.Y, Mentesh and Miss Albi, among others. During the day, the programme includes yoga, Pilates, sound healing, breathwork and discussion sessions; some workshops require registration on site.
Packages including accommodation and festival access are available, while one-, two- and three-day wristbands can be bought separately. Elounda is on Crete’s north-east coast and is reached via Heraklion Airport.
