INmusic festival

INmusic festival is Croatia's largest open-air international contemporary music event. The festival takes place on the Isle of Youth (Croatian: Otok hrvatske mladeži) in the midst of Zagreb's Lake Jarun every year in late June. The event began in 2006 and is typically held over three days. It has genre-specific stages with internationally recognized indie rock, heavy metal, and electronic musicians.

In contrast to the primarily dance- and club-based festivals that take place on Croatia's coast each summer, this one is a terrific alternative, especially with its eclectic lineup of big-name acts. As Croatia's largest open-air festival, and with a lovely and entertaining lakeside site on the outskirts of Zagreb, it's also a very accessible event, with plenty of lodging alternatives in the city. Zagreb is also quite accessible; there are several flights from the UK, Europe (and even farther afield) to Croatia's capital, as well as other transportation options - it's no surprise that this event draws crowds from all over Europe. As one of the most famous festivals in Croatia, INmusic festival had previously been chosen by The Huffington Post as one of the 10 Music Festivals That Will Rock — high praise indeed.
