The basics
Five days of tip top European clubbing takes over a Croatian party town.
The festival
Croatia really is the place to head this summer for festivals with sun, sea and cheap booze. If you’re a bit over the sponsored, corporate nature of many UK festivals nowadays, then Croatia should be top of your list. Sonus is split between a pretty beach, a couple of nightclubs and various boat parties - it’s as much about getting a tan as it is about getting on it.
With 50 international artists and a small ticket allocation this is a boutique affair, where we doubt you’ll have to queue for the loos for very long. Only in its second year, Sonus has a secret kind of feel, but it’s definitely more of an international clubbing party than a full on festival, with underground clubs from Eastern Europe, Berlin and Turkey all taking turns on the decks. There’s a campsite on the beach but if that’s too sandy a thought for you there’s also hotels and apartments in town.
Our tip
Don’t want to head home after five days? Take the ferry to Italy to Ancona and explore the Italian east coast.
