TravelHave you been to Hideout Festival in Croatia? Any tips?

Iโ€˜m looking into a solo trip next Summer in Europe and Croatia is one of my stops. Iโ€™m considering going to Hideout Festival and wondered if anyone had any experience with hostels near by and the festival in general? Any tips on Croatia would also be amazing as Iโ€™ll be travelling afterwards.

Has anyone travelled to Montenegro from Dubronvik in October or off season? Can I purchase tickets on board the buses? Can I just buy the tickets at the station/on the bus?
