The Croatian INmusic festival is quickly becoming one of the most popular European music festivals. The 13th edition of the festival, which kicked off on June 25th, immediately showed why is that. INmusic’s lineup was rich with all kinds of popular and up-and-coming bands and music acts so that everyone could find something for themselves.

One of the most impressive shows was that of British-American indie rockers The Kills. Fronted by energetic singer Alison Mosshart, The Kills landed on the World Stage and immediately showed why they are they such popular live act.

Mosshart’s hypnotizing voice and her magnetic behavior on the scene quickly filled up the venue and gave the audience more than an hour of great music. Everyone genuinely enjoyed the show, and it looked like the band was also having fun as well.

The only knockoff was that The Kills spend too much of their setlist on the songs from their last album, and missed tracks that the audience hoped it will hear.

Speaking of crushing out the dreams and hopes of the audience, we also had a chance to listen to Queens Of The Stone Age. Being able to hear one of the best rock bands of today in person is as awesome as advertised. From stage settings to sound production, everything was on point.

Frontman Josh Home was set on to give the audience the best time of their life and almost managed to do so. Queens Of The Stone Age were badass, raw, loud, and mean while going through their extensive catalog of songs which lifted the audience. There was synchronized clapping, sing-alongs, and jumping all along with occasional jokes directed to the people in the front row.

Unfortunately, it all seemed a bit too short. Also, they skipped some of their biggest hits including “In My Head.”
