Ten best festivals of Europe 2010

Anticipating the joy of music fans the popular British publication The Guardian published a list of 10 best festivals of the next year. It is noteworthy that among such giants of European music industry as Helfest (France), Springfestival (Austria) and Iceland Airwaves (Iceland) first place took the East European festival Soundwave (Croatia).

The Croatian festival Soundwave is held on the picturesque coast of the Adriatic Sea, near Zadar, in a small fishing village which age exceeds 900 years. The magnificent Dalmatian pristine beaches, gentle sunshine and a bracing sea breeze are an integral part of the festival. According to the Guardian journalists, thanks to the high professionalism of the organizers and its unique natural conditions the Croatian festival can contest with the famous British Bestival (the Isle of White).

The great atmosphere of the amphitheater, a magnificent beach terrace for the daytime languor and dancing in the moonlight, elegant chic of the 70's, the great feelings at the hooligan Boat Party - all this makes the Soundwave festival completely unique holiday for music lovers and clubbers. Getting tired of the endless musical rhythm you can retire to one of the local beaches and dive into the crystal waters and sunshine of the Adriatic, explore spectacular national parks or enjoy the authentic culinary delights of Croatian cuisine in the house of the farmer or the fishing village nearby.

All these advantages have allowed the Croatian Soundwave festival to take the first place in the rating of the best festivals, which should be visited next year. Thus, these are the best music festivals of the next year:
