GOES ABROAD
It's the late-May bank holiday — the Monday is already yours. London's loudest weekend spends it in Tirana and Durrës — the Adriatic's longest beach, 35 minutes from the airport — from the team behind some of East London's biggest club nights. Your ticket covers the main events. Rooms are listed here too, booked with the hotel direct — we don't take payment for those. Fly out Friday evening and it costs you zero days of annual leave.
Three nights in Tirana and Durrës over the May bank holiday — beach parties on the Adriatic by day, we take over the night. Afrobeats, amapiano and the family, 35 minutes from the airport.
Your ticket covers the main events across the weekend. Hotel rooms are sold separately with their own payment plan; flights to Tirana are yours to book — Wizz and Ryanair fly direct from London. And it’s not just the party: quad safaris, boat trips to hidden beaches, canyon lakes and cave hikes are all on the menu.
FOUR DAYS,
ZERO DEAD TIME
Land, make your way over (transfer options in your travel pack), check in, find the family. Welcome party on the beach as the sun drops.
WEAR · Everything white, head to toe. Linen, denim, whatever you own — it all works at golden hour and everyone already has it.
Day party on the sand — grills, games, DJs on rotation. Reset, dress up, then we take over the club.
WEAR · Daytime: swimwear, linen, straw, anything the colour of the beach. Bring something for your feet that survives sand.
The biggest room of the weekend. Doors late, finish later.
WEAR · Red, orange, flame — the loudest thing you packed. One thousand people in ember under a black sky is the photograph of the weekend.
Boat party or pool session, golden-hour dinner, then the closing party. Bring your last 10%.
WEAR · Every shade of blue, sea to navy. Take a layer for the boat — it drops when the sun does.
Bank holiday Monday — nobody's setting an alarm. Late checkout where we can swing it, back to Tirana, home with the group chat on fire and work tomorrow like it never happened.
Dress codes are an invitation, not a door policy — nobody is turned away for wearing the wrong colour. They exist because four hundred people who packed the same palette photograph like one thing, and that is the whole point of going together.
Line-up and final timings announced to booked guests first.
THE SOUND
Not a British holiday that happens to have music.
The spine of every night. Lagos and Accra, old and new, all weekend.
Congolese rumba and ndombolo, coupé-décalé, French rap. A whole room for it, hosted by DJs who actually play it.
The newest sound on the bill and the reason the late sets hit differently.
Dancehall proper, for the part of the night that needs it.
Sunrise on the sand and the closing party. Not amapiano — a different thing entirely.
The bar room, the boat, and everything in between.
The line-up is announced to booked guests first. What we can tell you now is the shape of it: the Francophone room is a room, not a guest slot, and it is why this weekend sells in Paris and Brussels as well as London.
THE LADDER
Nothing is hidden. Show your group the whole ladder now so you can plan around it — the price only goes one way. One wristband covers every main event.
Wristband only — no room, flights or transfers. Paid in full today; confirmation lands by email straight from your wallet details. Apple Pay / Google Pay appears when your device has a wallet set up.
GOT YOUR BAND?
SORT YOUR STAY
The hotels we've picked, minutes from everything. You book the room with the hotel directly — we don't take payment for rooms, and flights and airport transfers are yours to book too. Tell them you're with Cococure for the weekender rate.

Two singles, balcony, 4 min from the beach stage. Price per person sharing.
Whole villa to yourselves — priced for 8 sharing, space for up to 16. Book with Top Villas direct.
Three singles — the group-trip classic. Price per person sharing.
Prices per person sharing, as the hotel quotes them; the room is confirmed as a whole (a twin is 2 × pp). Flights to Tirana not included.

Fares are typical ranges for a return booked well ahead, not quotes, and our dates are a UK bank holiday — the busiest weekend of the British year. Wizz and easyJet have already released summer 2027; Ryanair usually opens theirs around the turn of the year, so set a reminder rather than paying whatever is on screen today.
About 35 minutes down the motorway, 30km. The direct bus is €6 each way and runs roughly hourly until about 9pm. A taxi is €25–35 if you agree the price before you get in. A private car is €30–40.
Landing after 9pm? The buses have stopped. Take a taxi or book a car before you fly.
Eight or more of you on roughly the same flight? A minibus is €90–150 for the whole van, which beats everything else per head and means nobody is standing outside arrivals at midnight working out who has cash.
Tell us your flight times on your trip page and we will tell you who else is landing when.
A PARTY
DAYS AS BIG AS THE NIGHTS
Tirana and Durrës aren’t just a backdrop — between the parties we’re running trips into the good stuff. Bookable as add-ons once you’re in.
Two hours of trails and beach tracks along the Adriatic — helmets, guides, chaos encouraged.
Hidden beaches and clear coves you can only reach by boat — swim stops, music on board.
The viewpoint that’s all over your feed — turquoise water, canyon walls, a climb worth every step.
River-canyon walk to a prehistoric cave above the Erzen gorge. Trainers on, phones out.
Austria-length cable car up Mount Dajti, Tirana at your feet — and a zipline back down if you dare.
The Adriatic’s longest beach, sunbeds, grills and our day parties on the sand.

Fully paid months before you fly — the only thing left to book is the flight.
GOOD TO KNOW
Is the hotel included in my ticket?
No. Your wristband covers the main events. We list the hotels we've picked and you book the room with them directly — we don't take payment for rooms, so anything about your room is between you and the hotel. Stay wherever you like if you'd rather. Flights and airport transfers are yours to book too.
Do I need to book time off work?
Barely — that's the point. It's the late-May bank holiday, so the Monday is already yours. Fly out Friday evening and the trip costs zero days of annual leave; fly Friday morning and it's one.
Are flights included?
No — you book your own to Tirana (TIA). Wizz and Ryanair fly direct from London, often £60–120 return if you move early. Airport transfers aren't included — options and prices come with your travel pack.
How does the payment plan work?
Pay £50 per person today to lock your wristband and your price. The balance splits into equal monthly instalments charged automatically to the same card, finishing by 16 April 2027. Pay ahead any time from your trip page.
What if an instalment fails?
We retry a few days later and email you a one-tap pay link — no drama unless it stays unpaid, in which case your booking goes on hold before anything is lost.
Can I book a room with friends?
Yes, and you arrange that with the hotel yourselves — twins and triples are quoted per person sharing. Each of you needs your own wristband from us. Coming alone? Ask us to introduce you to someone else looking to share.
Do I need a visa? (UK passport)
No. UK passport holders enter Albania visa-free for up to 90 days in any 180-day period. Bring a passport valid for at least 3 months beyond the trip, and travel insurance is strongly recommended.
I'm on a Nigerian passport with a UK visa — can I come?
Yes, in most cases without an Albanian visa: Albania waives its visa if you hold a valid MULTIPLE-ENTRY UK visa that you've already used to enter the UK at least once, or a valid UK residence permit (BRP / eVisa status). The document must stay valid for your whole trip. Without one of those, apply for Albania's e-visa at e-visa.al before flying. Rules can change — double-check the official Albanian e-visa site when you book flights.
Paying from Nigeria?
We charge in GBP, EUR and USD. Nigerian bank cards work if international payments are enabled on the card (ask your bank or flip it on in your banking app) — virtual dollar cards also work perfectly. We can't charge in Naira yet.
I have a Schengen visa or EU residence permit
A valid multiple-entry Schengen visa that's been used at least once inside the Schengen area — or a valid Schengen-state residence permit — also gets you into Albania visa-free. Same for valid multiple-entry US visas and US residence permits. Single-entry or unused visas don't qualify.
Can I get a refund?
Deposits are non-refundable. If you can't make it, name changes are free — sell your spot to a friend, up to 14 days before. Your room is a separate matter: you booked it with the hotel, so their cancellation policy is the one that applies to it.
Payment plan & booking terms
1. What you are buying. We sell you a wristband: entry to the main events of the weekender on the dates shown. That is the whole of what we sell and the whole of what we take payment for. We do not sell, resell, package or take commission on accommodation, flights or airport transfers.
2. Rooms, flights and transfers are yours. We list hotels we like and point you to them. You book your room directly with the hotel and pay the hotel, not us. Your contract for that room is with the hotel alone, on the hotel's terms, and anything to do with it — price, availability, condition, cancellation, damage, refunds — is between you and them. The same goes for flights and transfers. We have no authority to change, cancel or refund any of it, and we are not liable for it. If a hotel we listed disappoints you, tell us anyway: we will stop listing them.
3. Deposit. Your per-person deposit secures your wristband and locks the price at the tier you bought. It is non-refundable.
4. Payment plan authorisation. By booking on a plan you authorise STX.NG Ltd (the event organiser) to automatically charge the remaining balance to the card used for the deposit, in the scheduled monthly instalments shown before payment and in your confirmation email. There is no interest and no fee for paying this way — a plan costs exactly the same total as paying outright. You can pay ahead at any time from your trip page, and paying in full up front earns the bar credit advertised at the time you book.
5. Missed payments. If an instalment fails we retry over the following days and email you a payment link. If it is still unpaid after the final retry your booking goes on hold; if it remains unpaid 7 days after that, we may cancel the booking and release your wristband to someone else. In that case the deposit is forfeited and every instalment you paid above the deposit is refunded to you.
6. Cancellation by you. The deposit is not refundable. Name changes are free — you can transfer your wristband to someone else up to 14 days before the event by replying to your confirmation email.
7. Balance deadline. The full balance must be paid by the balance date shown at booking. Fully-paid guests receive the travel pack and check-in details.
8. Roommate introductions. If you ask to be matched with someone to share a room, we do no more than introduce you. We do not vet, screen, reference or background-check anyone, we make no promise about who you will be introduced to or that you will be introduced at all, and no money passes through us. Whatever you then agree — the room, who books it, who pays what, who owes whom — is an arrangement between the two of you and the hotel. We are not a party to it and we cannot get involved in any dispute arising from it, including unpaid shares, cancellations, damage, behaviour or anything that happens in the room. Use your own judgement, as you would with any stranger, and tell us if someone makes you uncomfortable so we can stop introducing them.
9. The wristband. Entry is 18+ and you must bring photo ID matching your booking to check-in. You are checked in once, on arrival, and issued the physical wristband for the weekend. Once it is on it stays on: a cut, removed, altered or transferred band is void, and lost bands are not replaced free of charge. We may refuse entry to, or remove, anyone whose behaviour endangers or seriously disrupts other guests, with no refund.
10. Line-up and programme. Artists, hosts, venues and timings are announced to booked guests first and may change. Individual acts are not the substance of what you have bought, so a change of line-up is not grounds for a refund. If a whole main event cannot go ahead we will replace it with something comparable.
11. Tables and minimum spend. Where a table is sold for the Saturday club night, the price shown is a minimum spend on drinks for the whole table, taken in advance and redeemable against the bar on the night. It is not refundable and unspent balance is not returned as cash. Table party size limits apply as shown at booking.
12. Changes and cancellation by us. If we materially change or cancel the event, you will be offered a comparable alternative or a full refund of everything you have paid us, including the deposit. That refund covers what you paid us for the wristband. It does not cover your room, flights or transfers, because you did not buy those from us — which is why we tell you to insure them.
13. Travel. Flights are not included. You are responsible for valid travel documents, visas and entry requirements, and we strongly recommend travel insurance from the day you book — including cover for cancellation, so that a change in your plans is not our refund policy's problem to solve.
These terms are written in English, and the English version is the one that applies. Translations are provided so you can read them in your own language; if a translation and the English ever disagree, the English governs.
14. Nothing here removes your legal rights. If any part of these terms is found to be unfair or unenforceable, the rest continues to apply. These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales.
