30 New Acts Added to Hideout Festival 2012! + FACE Boat Party!

by Scott Bleepz

Hideout Festival is already proving to be one of the most sought after events of 2012 and now we can reveal that no less than 30 new acts have been added to the 3-night line-up, including a string of huge name, world-class artists who are set to make the event even better than it’s debut in 2011.

The full and final extensive line-up can be viewed here…

Tickets:

Tickets cash in at £99 for all the 3 nights of the festival and our deposit scheme is still open for those of you who are still feeling the effects of festive over-spending!

Getting there:

We’ve been scouring the Internet for the best travel deals and have come up with a few tips to help you get to Hideout. Remember the main local airports in the region can be a lot cheaper to fly to than flying direct to Zadar, so look for: Zagreb, Split, Rijeka, Pula, Trieste, Venice and even Ljubljana and you should be able to find something suitable.

For example, Ryanair.com have flights available from London to Trieste for around £45 each way, and then a transfer to Novalja, each way works out at £32 each way making a grand total of £154.

Alternatively, Music Festival Holidays, 4u Festival and Outgoing are running packages which include travel, and one of these could well work out cheaper for you.

Also, you can always drop Hideout a line at travel@hideoutfestival.com and they will help as much as they can, plus keep updated on their dedicated travel blog – www.hideoutfestival.com/blog

Full website now launched!

For those who have already bought their ticket, or if you still need persuading – the long awaited full Hideout 2012 website is now up and running, complete with ticket information, accommodation & flight details, videos, news updates, travel blog, photo gallery and of course the all-important line-up. For all the Hideout Festival info you need, head over to www.hideoutfestival.com.

The Boat Parties

Boat parties were without a doubt a major highlight of Hideout 2011, from Crosstown Rebels to Digital Soundboy to Deconstruction Records, not to mention the extra special welcome boat party, each and every one of them went off amazingly and we expect the same calibre on the boats this year.

We’ve already had loads of questions about 2012 boat parties and we can tell you that we’ve been working very hard to make them even better – you won’t be disappointed. We will be revealing all at the start of March, including the boat party line-ups, times and of course the all-important tickets will be released! Look out for the FACE boat party in particular! We cant wait its going to be mint!
