Sun, sand and a plethora of bum-bag, cut-out swimsuit combos, we’re back from Hideout and we’ve got seven things to shout about!

SUNRISE TO SUNSET, EVERYDAY IS A PARTY

So the festival may only be four days long, but with pre-parties and post-parties galore, no matter how long you stay on the island of Pag, everyday is a party.

WHO WASN’T THERE?

With a line up that read like a telephone book of the hottest DJs on the planet, it was easier to ask who wasn’t at Hideout this year than who was. For us a few rose to the top of the pecking order – Jamie Jones, Justin Martin, Loco Dice, Maceo Plex, Tale of Us and Ten Walls to be more precise.

A FESTIVAL WITH A VIEW

There aren’t many festivals with a view like Hideout. Set on the island of Pag overlooking both the mountains and the Adriatic coastline, the view is second to none, so wether you’re catching sunrise or sunset, you’re in for a real treat.

TAKE TO THE SEA

If partying on the sand isn’t enough for you, you can take to the sea instead on one of Hideout’s many boat parties. Skreamizm and Justin Martin were two not to be missed.

THE FESTIVAL FASH PACK

Forget hippie flowers and floaty dressed a la Glasto. Hideout is all about retro sportswear, cut out swimsuits and face adornments galore. The more outrageous, the better.

HOW MANY DEGREES?

Who wants to camp in rainy old England when you can catch a hell of a tan whilst partying on the Croatian sands. We’re converted Croatian festival goers, sorry England, we’re out.
