When: 2 – 10th July

2010 is already taking shape to be one of the summer’s hot tickets, and the first wave of information has been released.

This year saw The Garden Festival firmly consolidate its standing as one of Europe’s leading small festivals, encapsulating a unique, intimate environment which is part festival, part holiday, part travel experience – and wholly, 100% fun. Run by two UK families in a bucolic fishing village 900 years old, The Garden Festival and Garden Petrcane have both attracted people from Europe-wide and beyond, drawn to the heavenly summer days, the hip-shaking evenings, and the late night sorties until the sun comes back up. Croatia itself is a stunning country, with the festival perfectly places for either coastal exploration or heading inland.

2010’s lineup is indeed taking shape to be the most inspiring yet in the Garden’s esteemed history. Radio 1’s Rob da Bank – the architect of pioneering show Sunday Best and now visionary behind the immense Bestival, Rob is a true music legend and someone fully committed to creating magical music odysseys. He’s joined by party proponents the Cuban Brothers, also making their debut: seasoned veterans of festivals all around the world, they are taking the Garden by storm and set to host various crazy Garden games, activities and insane sing-a-longs during the second weekend. Soul and Jazz legend Terry Callier has also just confirmed.

The Garden is further bolstered with the return of Mancunian genre-buff Mr Scruff and sonic scientist Qool DJ Marv. Splicing R&B, Hip-Hop, Reggae, Latin, House, Jazz, Funk, Rock and Soul classics effortlessly together heralds one of the most exciting aural pioneers ever to have played at the Garden. On the live side, Killer Whale (The Arthur Russell Project) project makes its debut too – reinterpreting Russell’s incredibly rich deep disco sounds into dance floor abandon.

With everything from NYC deep disco from Metro Area jousting with the sublime sounds of Floating Points, one of the most talked about acts of 2009 for a string of revered releases and remixes, through to Leeds’ finest deck devil, Dave Beer, and the brilliant live outfit 2020 Soundsystem, the Garden has it all – and more! One of Scotland’s finest, Garden debutant The Revenge, is set to unleash his fine disco cuts, and since his Resident Advisor podcast his stock has risen even further. Two of the north of the border’s other favourite sons, Subclub’s Harri and Domenic, also make their inaugural trips to Petrcane. London’s Horse Meat Disco debut too, themselves enjoying their most fruitful year yet, and two late night specialists also make their first appearances at The Garden, Sebo K and Seth Troxler, bring a tech-noir edge to nocturnal proceedings. Of course it’s not just all about the new boys – some already legendary Garden guests also return, including Greg Wilson, Henrik Schwarz, Kelvin Brown, Terry Farley, No’ Fakin and a great deal more also star.
