travel

    You can get to Petrcane by air, land and sea, for all the options please see below.

    In an effort to try & run this festival whilst causing as little damage to our lovely planet as possible we would like you to consider all possible options for travel before making your choice.

    by bus

    The most Eco-friendly way that we are suggesting to travel is by The
    Sunshine Bus, a number of coaches we are providing from the UK to the
    festival site.

    Take the bus! it will give you the chance to experience a drive through
    Europe and a chance to get to know a bus full of likeminded people also on
    their way to party, you’ll feel like a family by the time you get there.

    This year we will be providing a number of buses, some coming for a full
    weeks holiday and others just for the weekend of the festival.

    Below are the departure dates for the sunshine bus to Soundwave. The finer
    details will be organised nearer to the time with exact times & locations of
    pick-up points in Manchester & London etc, and the exact route and arrival
    times.

    Tickets are now onsale from here: http://www.leedstickets.com/eventinfo/2072/Soundwave-Bus

    Price – £125 return + £5 Tolls & Admin + Booking Fee
    Firstly a quick apology, due to a couple of overseen costs (administration & tolls) we have had to add an extra £5 to the costs of each seat… *BUT*, by selling the tickets through leedstickets we have actually saved you money as all of our other ticket outlets charge 10% booking fee, so you would have paid an extra £12.50 in BF with other agencies.

    Departure date from the uk

    Tuesday 20th July
    pick-ups in Manchester (Approx 6pm) & London (Approx 11pm)
    arrive in Petrcane Wednesday 21st (Sometime PM)
    Departure date from Petrcane

    Tuesday 27th July
    return to London & Manchester
    arrive Wednesday evening.

    car

    Whilst we would urge any festival goers to travel by bus, last year there were a number of people who decided to make their summer holiday a European road trip that included Soundwave Festival in their travels, either as the main destination or as one stop on a circuit around Europe.

    There are a number of different routes you can take across Europe to make your journey interesting – get on google and look at the options… Amsterdam, Munich, Luxembourg, Strasbourg, Venice, Zagreb and a number of other cities all can easily be made part of your route there.

    So, if you plan on driving, drive a full vehicle. Set up a group on facebook and find out whether your friends fancy the road trip – it will be an experience you wont forget.

    train

    You can travel by Eurostar to Northern Italy and then take a train through Slovenia into Croatia, although we advise that buses in Croatia are much quicker than the trains. See the sites below for more details.

    air

    If you are travelling by air then please try and pay the small carbon offset fee that is provided as an option with most European flights nowadays.

    The nearest airport to the village of Petrcane is:
    Zadar (20 mins), followed by Split (90 mins) or Zagreb (3hr).

    These times are for traveling by car along the highway.

    AIRPORT TRANSFERS

    We are working with Shuttle Tours in Croatia to provide transfers for our guests.

    Shuttle tours can organise cars for 1-3 people, minivans for 4-8 people and for selected flights there we will be arranging coaches, obviously prices will vary depending on the type of transport. Below is the list of Coach transfers that we predict will definitely be available, please email info@shuttletours.net to let them know which coach you would like to reserve a place on.
