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 – 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 […]

Day 3 of Sziget was colorful and dusty. Firstly, we again missed the 4 pm main stage concert of Awolnation. It took us long to get home, eat, wash, write blog, edit pics and return back with the gigantic crowd. I saw in the news that there have been 90,000 people on the island on […]

Day 2 was supposed to bring shows of Ellie Goulding, Ella Eyre, Foals, Interpol and many others. The day started for us with a nice sleep in our own bed and a long shower after that. Jealous? Be! We got to the festival area just in time for the concert of Akkezdet phiai on the […]
Sziget Festival – Day 0 Florence + the infected machines
Sziget festival has crossed the baseline and the preparatory stage is over. The festival area seems to be ready, although you could still see some finishing works yesterday.

Sziget Festival – Day -1, Robbie Williams and alpaca
Sziget finally started! Well, not quite yet as yesterday was just Day -1. Many festival venues are still closed and being finalized in the meantime. But the music program already kicked off with the best (and most expensive) that the Festival Crew managed to bring so far – Robbie Williams. But first things first. […]
