[b]The long weekend[/b]

[b]From the creators of the legendary Electric Chair comes Electric Elephant….[/b]

We are  heading off to the Adriatic coast of Croatia for a long August Bank Holiday weekend. Out of the basements and into the sunshine; far away to Croatia for music, love, sun, liberation, escape, sex, togetherness and freedom……the journey continues…out of the ashes rises the phoenix.
 
A long weekend or maybe a weeks holiday in a hidden paradise a hidden paradise named Petrcane (near Zadar) where we can all party together under under the sun, stars and  moon… on a beautiful forrested coastline next to the deep blue adriatic sea… A crazy 70’s nightclub (where Studio 54 meets Badelli’s Cosmic club!!), a terraced bar on the ocean front, and an outside amphitheatre live stage in the pine trees all overlooking the islands..
 
We have gathered some of the finest international DJ's and live artists . A wonderful wild mix of musicalness. Balaeric, spaced out beach parties, blissed out acoustic-folk, psychedelia on the moonlit stage , onto the club and outside to the terrace for late night futuristic jackin’ under the stars. Oh, and there's a big old boat.  A magical ship that sails everyday partying into the twilight. Cosmic, spiritual, happy journeys across the sea.
 
Petrcane is a beautiful little fishing village 900 years old with good, kind people and beautiful rustic restaurants… fresh fish caught that day… fruit and wine...and olive oil fresh from the local olive groves. There is camping in the woods, old cottages and villas on the sea front, sailing boats you can charter and explore the mystical islands; National Parks, waterfalls, mountains all a short drive away.
Its somewhere you can bring the kids and relax, or party with soul mates old and new.

This is a beautiful place.  It’s enchanting.  You’ll fall in love.
 
Into the light, into the sun, free your mind

Getting There[/b]
 
Getting to Croatia couldn’t be easier. Croatian Airlines fly out of London regularly to the main cities as do Easy Jet and Ryan Air. There also are many connecting flights into Germany via Lufthansa before connecting with Croatian Airlines.
 
The nearest airport to the festival is at Zadar (20 minutes by taxi) but there are plentiful flights to the capital Zagreb (2.5 hours) and Split (1.5 hours). Our colleagues in Petrcane will arrange transfers from Zagreb and Split. Check their website to apply for a transfer:
