The parties on this site run on two clocks: the sun and the night.

Below are the hours by type of party as the official ticket pages and posters listed them in 2026, the dress codes they set, the door rules worth knowing and the sunset times to plan around.

Dress codes: the all-white nights
The White Party at Greg Beach, on Sundays in Ksamil, asked guests to wear an all-white outfit. In Saranda, Lost Seaside's White Party – Sunset Edition asked the same: dress in white. The Friday White Party on the Vikingen carried the same name; its poster did not spell out a dress code.
None of the other 2026 ticket pages set a dress code. If your night is a white party, pack the outfit before you travel; for the rest, check the ticket page of your date in case it adds one.
