The third Terraneo music festival was held in the coastal town of Sibenik from Wednesday to Friday, with about a 100 foreign and Croatian performers, from electronic through hip hop to rock, playing on nine stages.

More than 15,000 people attended the first day of the festival, when the biggest attraction was Great Britain's The Prodigy.

The other performers on the first day included Fun-Da-Mental, Eyesburn, Emiliana Torrini, Koan Sound, Mayales, Woods, Kranksvester, and Kawasaki 3p as well as several DJs.

On Thursday, some 10,000 people attended the festival, when the musicians included My Bloody Valentine, Calexico, Gang Of Four as well as a number of DJs.

Wu Tang Clan, Aloe Blacc, The Cribbs, Dubfire, The Bots and others played on Friday.

The festival is a perfect addition to the tourism offer of the Dalmatia coastal region, making it a popular destination for thousands of young people from Croatia and Europe looking for fun, organisers said.

Their aim is to make the festival the leading music event in the region which develops and nurtures the concept of socially responsible and eco-friendly entertainment. Their task is to promote the natural beauty of the Sibenik region and promote this town and Croatia as hip and attractive destinations.
