The Outlook Festival in Croatia has hands-down the best summer festival lineup of 2013. If it weren't in Coratia, we'd be there in a second.

Take a look at the incredible 2013 lineup - so who's bringing this baby to America?!

Special Thanks: Outlook Festival for doing it up proper, Submotion Orchestra, The NY Islanders for returning to the NHL playoffs and banana bread
