Croatia’s largest open-air festival, INmusic, announces Arcade Fire will headline the 2011 instalment of the event
The INmusic festival takes place on the 21st & 22nd June 2011 and will be headlined by the seminal Montreal act Arcade Fire who are fresh from Sunday’s GRAMMY AWARD and experimental band Grinderman. Set on the shores on the idyllic LakeJarun in Zagreb, the festival boasts six different stages and will welcome 60,000 music fans to dance in the Croatian sunshine.
INmusic has grown rapidly from the first event in 2006 and has previously welcomed guests such as Moby, Franz Ferdinand, Kraftwerk, Lily Allen, N*E*R*D*, The Prodigy, Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds, LCD Soundsystem, Massive Attack, and Morrissey. Little wonder why the event has become the go-to destination for music lovers visiting Croatia.
This year the camping experience has been enriched so that people can enjoy the site for a full six days from the18th to the 22nd June. The site will boast a plethora of amenities such as hot running water, wireless internet, food and drink stalls, mobile phone and laptops recharging points.
For those that need an additional buzz to the music there are a host of activities such as beach volleyball and handball, soccer, skate park, rollerblading, cycling, surfing, rowing, horse ridding, table tennis, hanging bowling hall, mini golf, and badmington near the festival.
The festival is perfectly situated only 1.5hours from Zagreb, giving the opportunity to enjoy the tourist attractions and the surrounding areas before or after the festival. There is the opportunity to take organised trips to attractive destinations such as the beautiful Plitvice Lakes, the castles of Hrvatsko Zagorje, or go kayaking on Mrežnica and cycling on the Samobor Hills (Samoborsko gorje).
“You get the sense that Croatian festival-goers head to INmusic for the experience of being part of the crowd, of bonding with kindred souls and of surrendering their inhibition as they lose their minds, dance in the darkness and exult in music friendship, nature....all that jazz.“ METRO (UK), 2010
