🇭🇷  Is Croatia The New Ibiza  Let's FINALLY put this to bed!. Living and working in both Ibiza and Croatia, I have LOST COUNT of the number of times I have been asked this. So, I have finally put together my thoughts on the topic, which will be published on One More Tune tonight. 🎙 It’s completely impartial, honest and comes from my own personal experience, and NOT the BS copy-and-pasted clickbait garbage articles that get published year in, year out by mainstream media. 💭 My thoughts will, hopefully,  bring you up to speed with both popular dance music locations. 📍 Both these destinations are world-class, but they are NOT the same, and that’s a good thing. In this video, I break down the real differences between Croatia and Ibiza: energy, culture, venues, prices, music styles, travel logistics, and why Croatia isn’t trying to be Ibiza... because it doesn’t need to be. This one’s for the ravers, the festival lovers, Ibiza lovers, Croatia lovers and the curious souls - and anyone tired of clickbait headlines and mainstream media hype.  If you want a more educated opinion on this story, you’re in the right place. #Ibiza #CroatiaFestivals #DanceMusicCulture
