The secret is out — Croatia is the new vacation European hotspot. Move over Mediterranean coasts of France and Italy, Croatia is the place to be now. With its cheap prices, unbridled natural beauty and seemingly limitless places to stay along the coast, Croatia is the new vacation king for Europe's youth. Noting that trend, many music festivals have moved an outpost to the shores of Croatia, the most recent being the Croatia Rocks Festival. The inaugural festival will take place next summer between July 20 and 23, 2015, on Zrce Beach on the Island of Pag, according to Mixmag.
Croatia is already the scene of Ultra Music Festival Europe, Hideout Festival, Dimension Festival, Outlook Festival, Soundwave Festival and others all on the shores of the Adriatic Sea. The temperate climate and coastal proximity makes it ideal for hosting outdoor festivals all summer long.
Ibiza Rocks is a promotion company that throws weekly parties at the Ibiza Rocks Hotel in the western enclave of San Antonio that caters to U.K. tourists. The parties have been home to some of most exciting up-and-coming U.K. talent like Disclosure, Gorgon City, Chase and Status, Karma Kid, Fatboy Slim and others.
It also brings the party outside the club to its Ibiza Rocks show that each week showcases some of the biggest bands and acts from across the world, like Nas, Ed Sheeran, Rudimental and others.
Now the party atmosphere from Ibiza is coming to Croatia, which needs little extra encouragement to get into the mood. The festival will feature, according to the website, four days and nights of live music, DJs beach parties, boat parties and dancing under the stars.
