Check Out the First Batch of Artists Announced to Play Hideout 2016

We know, we know—it seems like only yesterday we were all sat on Zrce beach wolfing down chips and beers while some of the world's biggest and best DJs smashed out set after set under the Croatian sun, loving every second of the Hideout experience. Even now, as we sit and stare out of office windows at the dismal sight of winter's rapid encroachment, it still feels like part of us is there, sipping cocktails on a boat floating around the Adriatic. Don't fret though, because now you can start getting ready to do it all over again—Hideout 2016 is nearly upon us!

We here at THUMP will be back at the festival next summer with lots of exciting stuff happening, but we'll tell you about all that closer to the time. In the meantime, the good news is that if you've pre-registered for tickets, you can snap 'em up now. If you haven't, then get ready to click like an absolute madman come this Thursday (5th of November) when they go on sale to the general population. You know you want to come before you even know who's going to play…hold on, what's that? Have we got the line-up to date for you to sink your teeth into? Yep!

Alongside firm favorites like Skream, Richy Ahmed, and Heidi, you can expect to catch the likes of Jamie XX, J.E.S.u. S, Jackmaster, Joy Orbison, Julio Bashmore, and a ton of other acts whose names don't begin with a 'J' turning the beach into the world's best club for a few days. For tickets, head here.
