Ten breathtaking festival locations
Dance music with a view
6 Barrakud, Greece
Barrakud, Corfu, Greece
Not content with being placed on an idyllic island slap bang in the centre of the European summer, Barrakud is actually not one of the best festival locations in the world, but seven of them. Dubbed the 'party trip', attendees travel across Corfu to a series of day and night events that run in succession across the eight days of the festival. It's something of a techno pilgrimage, with parties running through to 10am at golden beaches, pools with panoramic views, sunrise boat parties and clubs – Scuba playing the opening party in a seafront club. Check. Tom Trago playing a panoramic view pool party. Check. Lone playing a live show in a beach bar set into a rock filled bay. Check.
Now in its second year in Corfu – with its sister event on Zrće Beach in Croatia now in its fourth year – Barrakud hosts a small but refined line-up, which means the parties mentioned above will be joined by the likes of Rødhåd, Midland, Ellen Allien and DJ Koze, all creating a week-long soundtrack to some of the most unique parties on the continent. It all culminates in an eight-hour boat party that traverses tiny islands, offers punters offshore swims and docks at local beaches, before the sun sets for the last time on this festival in bohemian paradise. Check out the after video from last year if you don't believe us.
Barrakud, Corfu, takes place in late July
