This September, Rovinj will once again transform into the regional hub of creativity, ideas, and great entertainment, and the very first announced Weekend.18 party will be anything but ordinary. The “coming of age” edition of the region’s biggest festival is putting all its cards on the table: from top-notch panels and speakers to a party that’s guaranteed to become the talk of the town. The exclusive European premiere of the new Omoda & Jaecoo models from the Chery Group raises the bar even higher, while the musical spectacle on Friday, September 19, will be led by none other than world-renowned DJ Jax Jones.
A Party to Remember with Jax Jones at Weekend.18
Bringing the energy will be DJ sensation Jax Jones, a global hitmaker with over 9 billion streams and 65 platinum singles to his name. His new album Y2J brings the retro vibe of the early 2000s, reimagined 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. With his multicultural heritage and insatiable curiosity, Jax promises a party that truly lives up to its reputation as unmissable.
An Unmissable Premiere
Beyond the music, the evening also offers something for all car enthusiasts. The premiere of the Omoda & Jaecoo brands will give visitors the chance to be among the first in Europe to experience cars that redefine everything you thought you knew about driving. Two brands, one futuristic mindset: Omoda appeals to the young and the young at heart, bringing avant-garde design, a lifestyle approach, and smart technologies that match the pace of modern life. On the other hand, Jaecoo adds a dose of robust elegance to the SUV segment, with a focus on sophistication and ultimate comfort.
These new models represent a fresh vision of mobility—one in which the car is no longer just a means of transportation, but an extension of your lifestyle. Visitors at Weekend.18 will be among the very first in Europe to see the models live, soaking up the vibe of urban luxury firsthand. Combined with euphoric energy and music spilling into the early morning hours, Jax Jones will turn this party into an unforgettable experience.

This year, with Omoda & Jaecoo, Weekend.18 sends a clear message: the future of mobility is already here—connected to great music, inspiring people, and stories that last.
