Over the last decade, several British festival promoters have set up shop in various locations around the tiny country to help establish it as one of the most popular festie destinations for young Brits (and other foreign nationals). Events like Dimensions, Outlook, Hideout, Love International, Electric Elephant, Fresh Island, Defected, Dekmantel Selectors and many, many more fill up every window in Croatia's calendar during the summer months. 

Now, Croatia has a winter festival to add to its huge roster of events, and one of the big names on the lineup to set things off with a bang is Dutch superstar DJ Armin van Buuren.
