Celebrating its seventh year, Hideout Festival is returning to Croatia with 150 major artists from the electronic and house worlds.

Unmissable boat parties, pool parties and beach parties will keep you dancing through to sunrise for five days and five nights.

Here are VIVA’s top tips for this year’s Hideout Festival

WHEN PACKING

There’s no need to worry about squeezing wellies and raincoats into your 15kg (or 22kg if you’re lucky) baggage allowance as Hideout temperatures are set to be hitting 30 degrees celsius on the white sandy shore of Zrce beach. So, it’s time to ditch the British summer essentials and pack plenty of suntan lotion, bikini’s and shorts.

Outfits to consider

  • Travelling to and from Croatia
  • In the day – Pool and boat parties
  • In the night – The festival

MUST SEE MUST DO

This year sees  Hideout’s first Secret Beach Party. Hidden on Pag Island, the electronic dance duo @TheBasementJaxx  will take the stage for their only performance of the festival. Other artists playing at the secret location include @solardomusic, @PaulWoolford and @monki_dj. Starting at 3pm on Monday (26th June) the secret beach party is the perfect way to kick-start your Hideout experience. Tickets are still available here.

Acts will begin from 3pm each day for pool parties with the main stage coming to life from 11pm through to 6am, the perfect opportunity to extend your night and see a spectacular sunrise.

Boat parties are an extra festival-abroad privilege, cruising the Adriatic sea you have the chance to dance under the blazing sunshine to @eats_everything, @ukmele@Duskymusic and many more of the world’s best artists.

GET ON BOARD WITH GLITTER

A 2017 festival must have is glitter, whether it be for nails, hair or face it’s a given that it will be part of your daily outfit at Hideout. While you might not be all about the ‘glitterboob’  trend, it’s an easy accessory that’s cheap and livens up any beachwear or poolside outfit.

SOCIAL MEDIA

The festival site is sandwiched between infinite blue sea and mountains of green, creating a picturesque backdrop for Snapchat stories and Instagram posts (so remember to check if you’re network provider has moved to European roaming). Also, don’t forget to share your pics with us @VIVAMagazines on Twitter.
