Hercules and Love Affair to bring New York flavour to Croatia holiday scene

With Nu-Disco pioneers Hercules and Love Affair set to headline Rijeka's Hartera festival this summer, a Croatia holiday in the region could have a distinct New York feel to it.

First formed in 2004, Hercules and Love Affair is the musical brainchild of DJ Andy Butler alongside Kim Ann Foxman, Aerea Negrot, Shaun Wright and Mark Pistel.

Over the past eight years, the group have crafted some of the freshest sounding disco-fused house music to ever hit the airwaves.

The group  now look set to take it to a global scale after it was announced they would be headlining the Tuborg stage at this summer's Hartera festival in Rijeka.

Scheduled for the weekend of July 14th, the event sees a diverse mix of eurobeats and house cuts descend on this idyllic setting for one weekend of musical mayhem.

It could make for the ideal addition to a Croatia holiday in the region too, with Rijeka offering the kind of nightlife and beach fun to attract young visitors from across the continent.

A trip to Rijeka could also provide the perfect opportunity to embark on one of the famous island hopping Croatia cruises on offer throughout the summer.

Ideal for friends keen to take in the sights alongside the usual party antics, Sail Croatia trips represent the best way to discover what lies on the region's thousand-plus islands this summer.

Back on mainland Rijeka meanwhile, the fabulous tunes of Hercules and Love Affair could provide the perfect soundtrack to your summer, with cuts from the group's recently released album Blue Songs likely to be on the playlist.

Running for two days and with the likes of James Holden and Elemental on the bill too, this could be another brilliant way to see this region in all its glory.
