INmusic celebrates 20 years, bridging Croatia with top-tier global rock

The INmusic festival in Zagreb is celebrating its 20th anniversary, solidifying its status as Croatia's premier rock festival and a significant player on the European music scene. Despite two years lost to the pandemic, the festival is commemorating two decades of bringing world-class rock music to Croatia, acting as a vital link to the global 'first league' of rock.

Since its inception in 2006, INmusic has consistently provided access to major international artists who might otherwise be inaccessible to local audiences, and at considerably lower ticket prices than abroad. This has not only attracted hundreds of thousands of international rock tourists but also earned the festival accolades in foreign press, including the British media, which has recognized it as one of Europe's best rock festivals.

This year's edition, held from June 22-24 at Jarun Lake, features a robust lineup that includes influential musicians like Jack White and the Gorillaz, making their Croatian debut. Jack White, a Grammy winner and former frontman of The White Stripes, is a highly anticipated act, known for his significant contributions to garage rock and his advocacy for analog sound and vinyl culture.

The festival's enduring appeal lies in its ability to offer a comprehensive cross-section of the contemporary world rock scene, from seasoned veterans to emerging talents. In an era of inflation, INmusic continues to provide exceptional value, allowing attendees to experience a diverse range of artists for a very reasonable ticket price, reinforcing its reputation as a must-attend event for rock enthusiasts.
