This September, Rovinj once again transforms into the regional hub of creativity, ideas, and great entertainment, and the first announced Weekend.18 party will be anything but ordinary.
The 18th edition of the region’s largest festival is putting all its cards on the table: from top-tier panels and guest speakers to a party that’s already set to become the main topic of conversation. The exclusive European premiere of new Omoda & Jaecoo car models from the Chery Group raises the bar even higher, while the musical spectacle on Friday, September 19, will be headlined by none other than world-renowned DJ Jax Jones.
A Weekend.18 Party to Remember with Jax Jones
Bringing the energy will be DJ sensation Jax Jones, a global hitmaker whose more than 9 billion streams and 65 platinum singles speak for themselves. His new album Y2J delivers a retro vibe from the early 2000s but filtered through the lens of contemporary Southeast Asian club sounds and the underground rave scene. Jax Jones, born Timucin “Timz” Lam, draws inspiration from his multicultural upbringing, from London clubs to family summers in Penang, Malaysia. Rovinj will dance the night away to hits like You Don’t Know Me, Never Be Lonely, Where Did You Go?, Instruction, and many more. Jax’s multicultural heritage and boundless curiosity guarantee a party that’s already being called unmissable.
A Premiere Not to Be Missed
Beyond the music, there’s something for all four-wheel enthusiasts as well. The premiere of the Omoda & Jaecoo brands will give visitors one of the very first opportunities in Europe to experience cars that push the boundaries of everything you know about driving. Two brands, one futuristic mindset: Omoda appeals to young people and those who feel young, bringing avant-garde design, a lifestyle approach, and smart technologies that follow the rhythm of modern life. On the other hand, Jaecoo introduces a dose of rugged elegance into the SUV segment, with a focus on sophistication and premium comfort.
The new models embody a new vision of mobility—one where the car is no longer just a means of transport but an extension of your lifestyle. Visitors of Weekend.18 will be among the first in Europe to experience these models up close, soaking in the vibe of urban luxury firsthand. With euphoric energy and music lasting until the early morning hours, Jax Jones will turn the party into an unforgettable experience.
This Is Not Just a Festival—This Is the Weekend of All Weekends
This isn’t just another weekend of networking; it’s six festivals rolled into one, bringing together thousands of guests, inspiring speakers, and unforgettable stories from September 18 to 21. This year, alongside Omoda & Jaecoo, Weekend.18 sends a clear message: the future of mobility is already here—and it’s connected with great music, inspiring people, and stories that last.
So, if you’re looking for a place where networking and partying merge into one, and where you’ll also hear the most inspiring stories that stay with you far longer than a single weekend, Weekend.18 is the best place for you!
