I honestly wish someone had warned me before I booked. If you’re deciding between Hideout and somewhere like Ibiza or Malta, I’d seriously think twice.
First, everything is far more expensive than you expect. Drinks, food, taxis, boats, you’ll probably spend several times more than your original budget.
The biggest disappointment was how overcrowded it was. The festival feels oversold, and instead of enjoying the music, you’re constantly waiting in queues. You queue to get into clubs you’ve already paid for, and sometimes the venues are so full you can’t even see the DJ or get inside without waiting ages.
The music and artists are great that’s not the problem. The organization is as you can understand that spending hours in lines instead of dancing completely ruins the experience.
