Sziget has loads of other things on offer to festival goers, as well as the music, there is; theatre, dance, classical music, cabaret, performances, films, fine art, crafts, literary presentations, programmes for kids, sports and other free time activities. In 2012 the Sziget Festival was visited by Michael Eavis, who said Sziget is “a fantastic festival, more colourful and probably a lot cleaner than Glastonbury.”
Sziget Festival takes place on Óbudai-sziget, an island in the Danube, Budapest, Hungary. Taking place in August, the festival started as a local event in 1993 playing host to various Hungarian artists and has grown into a large European festival, showcasing over a thousand international artists over 60 stages, from many genres, to 400,000 daily visitors, half of which come from outside Hungary.
2015 will see the 23rd edition of Sziget take place from Monday 10th to Monday 17th August, with camping available from Monday 10th August.
