The Festival
Held in the pretty setting of Lake Jarun on the outskirts of the Zagreb, the INmusic Festival is smaller than some other similar events but still attracts a number of big name pop and rock acts. Last year's festival drew top names such as Lily Allen, NERD, Franz Ferdinand and Moby.
What's great about this festival is that it's easy to reach. Zagreb is just a two-hour flight from the UK, and there's a few airlines that operate direct flights between the two countries. There are also great air, bus and train connections to Zagreb from elsewhere in Europe.
With the festival in an easy-to-reach location on the edge of Zagreb, this event would be a great way of combining a city break with a European festival experience.
A number of acts have already been announced for the 2010 festival, including Billy Idol, Massive Attack, The Flaming Lips, !!!, LCD Soundsystem, Morcheeba and Pendulum (live) .
Better still, the festival recently announced that a "Day Zero" will be added - i.e. 21st June (the day before the original two days of the event) will now also feature as part of the line-up. US rockers Alice in Chains are to open the festival on that day.
Our top tip: for absolutely tonnes of fun, be sure to attend the Silent Party that will be on site at the festival. Essentially, this will be a large area with everyone wearing headphones...listing to one of the three DJs, who will all be playing different tunes. Of course, with the headphones there will be no speakers - hence the "silent party"! Great fun.

From Jarun tram stop, you can walk to the festival site - follow the signposts.
