Hartera Festival 2009

The 'little sister' of Serbia's Exit Festival, Hartera takes place on Friday 12th and Saturday 13th June at a disused paper factory on Croatia's coastline at Rijeka the largest port in Croatia.

The event brings together some of the best artists in rock, indie electro and dance music, in a friendly and intimate environment. Confirmed acts for this year are Klaxons, Royksopp, Simian Mobile Disco, Sasha, Boys Noize and Alex Metric, with more to be announced soon.

Tickets are now on sale, priced £45 for 2-day ticket, £60 for ticket + camping, or £99 with B&B accommodation. With cheap beer, return flights to Zagreb from the UK, reasonably priced quality local food, this event can still work out cheaper than most UK festivals, with the added bonus of guaranteed sunshine, a unique atmosphere and a stunning coastline.

This is the first year that tickets have gone on sale in the UK and the festival is regarded by many in the Balkans as Croatia's 'best kept secret'. So this is the perfect time for people to get one step ahead of the game and experience the festival before it grows into something a lot bigger.

The daily music programme run from 8pm until 6am across 2 main stages, giving all night ravers the chance to re-charge their batteries on one of the local beaches and for the more active, there is a chance to visit any number of stunning resorts such as Opatija, Crkvenica and the island of Krk.

There are also hotels, apartments, villas and even boats all within close proximity to the festival site.

Rijeka is situated in North West Croatia. It is readily accessible from 4 airports: Rijeka (Krk), Pula, Trieste and Zagreb, all within a maximum 2 hr drive of the festival site and serviced by a range of budget airlines. There is a designated bus service from the airport into Rijeka. The railway station is connected with direct services to other major cities in Croatia (Zagreb, Osijek), and from there to destinations in Europe. Rijeka is connected by bus with bigger cities in Croatia, Slovenia and elsewhere in Europe.

Please note this is an over 18s only event.
