The last day on the Island of Freedom promised yet another full day of programmes including the end show with Hardwell and fireworks.

Sziget Festival 2016 – David Guetta and the Magic Mirror
How does a Sunday at Sziget Festival 2016 look like? Well, like any other day. Except that you do not really know it is Sunday. It seems that people are no longer getting lost, and the Szitizens were lucky one more time because it did not rain at night. What did the fifth day of […]
Sziget Festival 2016 – amusing Muse and amazing atmosphere
The first half of the Sziget week is over and if you think that Szitizens are getting tired, they are not! The parties run all night long, and the Island of Freedom got again sold out! When I was walking through the island late at night, I realised that these festival goers do not even […]
Sziget Festival 2016 – impressions from Day 3 – classical music, Bastille and Manu Chao
The first days of Sziget flew faster than over a cuckoo’s nest. The third day of Sziget brought new people to the Island of Freedom, who were even fresher than the ones who came for Rihanna. There are almost no signs of the rain from the very first day, and instead, dancing people are raising […]
Day 0 – Sziget Festival 2016 – dancing with Parov Stelar and Rihanna

Sziget Festival summary: Day 4 Heat & dust on fire
Day 4 was the dustiest and crowdiest day at the Sziget festival. I read somewhere that the organizers had a special spray to apply on roads to prevent the dust from coming up, but they had a runout already on Day 2. This special substance was not available anymore in Hungary so they were trying […]
