12 Things You Have To Do At Sonus Festival
1. At the end of the day, the biggest draw for any festival is the music, you can have the beautiful Adriatic setting, the modern bars, the cool people and gorgeous weather but without some tasty beats it’s wasted. Thankfully Sonus is offering up some of the dance music scene top acts including Dixon, Guy Gerber, Jamie Jones and Jackmaster.
2. If you haven’t seen Dixon live before then prepare to spend a few hours in the company of the Innervisions boss as he lays down some beautiful melodic techno – perfect for man-trance fans keen to dance with their eyes closed in the magic of the Croatian evening while weeping softly at how beautiful life is….
3. Rumor has it that Guy Gerber will be playing a set of all his own productions daubed head to toe in luminous body paint while people dressed as Roman legionaires cavort in front of the function ones spilling wine and absinthe onto their bodies….or, that might be just what goes through my head any time I’ve been at one of Guy Gerber’s Bacchanalian after parties…prepare for things to get strange.
4. No beach based summer party would be complete without Hot Creations permed honcho Jamie Jones thudding out some house replete in a selection of charmingly gaudy Hawaiian shirts – get yourself a mojito, pop on a shirt and start dancing on the sand.
5. DJ’s DJ, Jackmaster, is another unmissable act on the roster for Sonus festival (all of the acts are unmissable in my opinion) and he makes this list because of his Scottish charm, his eclectic track selection and fantastic hair.
6. Zrce Beach: For most festival goers you’d be happy with a field and a sliver of sunshine so the fact that you can bounce around to top techno on one of Croatia’s most beautiful beaches seems lice the icing on a cake that is already chiefly composed of icing.
7. Boat Parties: There’s a reason why P. Diddy & Leo DiCaprio are constantly being photographed partying on boats, because it’s awesome! You don’t even have to be a rich womanising millionaire to enjoy it, all you need is some friends, music and a cold drink to feel like the king of the world…(I cringed a little making that pun).
8. The clubs! Sonus plays host to some of the slickest clubs in Croatia where you can enjoy a mix of chilled out vibes, mainstage buzz and afterhours magic…
9. Don’t let the fact that Kalypso sounds like an ice lolly fool you, it might not be a sugary treat but it definitely is cool and goes down well on a summer’s day!
10. Papaya was recently voted DJ Mag’s 23rd best club in the world, out of the thousands upon thousands of clubs in the world that’s no mean feat, you should be proud to fistpump your nut off in it’s hallowed halls!
11. Aquarius is the perfect spot for anyone who enjoys a bit of open air partying, and at the end of the day isn’t that what festivals are all about, letting the natural ambience and atmosphere wash over you as you connect with some top music in a gorgeous location, you couldn’t got far wrong.
12. The VIBE! Sonus is blessed to host some of the most discerning and hedonistic party people in the dance music world, which combined with the location, the facilities and the world beating acts makes it one of the best partying vibes around….
