Heading into its 9th year, Outlook Festival is now by no means just the largest representation of bass music in Europe – its reach has stretched globally whilst continuing to keep its integrity intact.
Based in an abandoned Roman fort in Stinjan, Croatia, this year’s Outlook will see thousands of festival-goers flock down to Pula between August 30th and September 5th.
Damien Marley is set to headline the opening concert, with other leading performances coming from dub step originator Benga, D&B veteran DJ Hype, Stormzy, and Little Simz, among others. Head to Outlook’s website to see a full run-down of the extensive full line-up.
Outlook’s boat party has also long been at the heart of the four-day Croatian adventure. This year will include a monster bill for 2016’s edition, with takeovers from labels, clubs and Outlook familia including Metalheadz, Hyperdub, Radar Radio, LEVELZ, Detonate, Hot Wuk, Playaz, Hatcha and Friends, and many more. Tickets for each party are priced at £17.50, which you can bag over at Outlook’s website. We can now also offer you a full run-down of each boat party’s line-up and timetable, just to see which days may tickle your fancy.
