We somehow missed all the traffic problems. My son had passed his test a few weeks before hand, so he drove us and we followed some random white van that looked like they were going the same way and ended up lost in some proper side roads, with only the search lights and glow to guide us. We came out of a rural track right next to a car park gate, drove straight in, parked close to the fence and were in the queue for midnight.
On the Monday we hung around til 3pm, the sun was baking and driving out of empty carparks without a hint of mud was kind of surreal.
If you're living in the UK, I'd recommend going somewhere like Primavera in Barcelona.
You avoid lots of rain, camping, and endless britpop influenced bands.
ps. After a couple of awful and muddy Glastonbury's I gave up on UK based festivals, so don't have much up to date knowledge to share (although I do see friends sharing pics from Kendal Calling each year, and they're always in rain coats). What the UK does seem to do well is multi-venue festivals. Something like dot to dot in Newcastle and Bristol, has good headliners, and a great record of picking bands that are up and coming. You get something like two hundred acts across twenty venues. No camping, and you're not standing about outside!
Where in the UK are you thinking of moving to? And I assume you're a fan of Primavera type music, hence asking here, rather than in the UK section?
It depends. Last year there were festival buses, directly from Ljubljanica to entrence for free.
Otherwise, make sure you have apartment near tram lines 5/17/4, and you walk 20minutes from Jarun or Savski most stations.
Hi all, just about to buy my ticket for this, looks cheap enough to get a 1 bed apartment in Zagreb rather than camp and would be much easier, can anyone advise what transport links are like to the festival please?
