The Guardian Lists Two Croatian Festivals in their Top 10 for 2016

By 27 May 2016

Slowly but surely, Croatia is being recognised for its outstanding summer music festivals.

Ultra Europe, InMusic, Outlook, Dimensions....The numer of well organised and internationally acclaimed music festivals is growing in Croatia, and on May 27,2016, The Guardian listed two music festivals in Croatia in their Top 10 for 2016.

According to the Guardian, music lovers should definitely visit the following:

Love International, Croatia

As the Croatian festival scene bidding farewell last summer to its founding father, the Garden Festival, which bowed out after 10 years of magic, it now falls to Love International to carry the torch. Run by the team behind Bristol’s Love Saves the Day (with the Garden’s Nick Colgan also involved), the festival takes place at the Garden Resort in Tisno, in a natural amphitheatre with a private bay for cooling dips. It also features the kind of line-up to generate heart-throbbing party moments, with some of the most discerning house and disco selectors around: Prosumer, Bicep, Horse Meat Disco … Just thinking about it is making us want to shoot confetti in the air and spill our drink hugging a stranger.

and, a new one that will certainly create a lot of public and media attention this summer

Obonjan, Croatia

While the attraction of Croatian music festivals has always been a fusion of some kind of party + beach-chill holiday, it was probably only a matter of time before someone decided to up the “chill” element. Enter Obonjan. Co-founded by Dan Blackledge, who was behind Hideout and Unkown, this new event is part festival, part resort, with a two-month long programme of music, arts and workshops on a long-abandoned island in the Adriatic. Music headliners include Roy Ayers, DJ Shadow, Dilated Peoples and Matthew Herbert. It’s open from July-September and visitors can just explore the events around the island at their leisure. It’s like a pick-your-own adventure, but the adventures are always relaxing.
