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 – impressions from Day 3 – classical music, Bastille and Manu Chao

Rain at the first day of Sziget Festival 2016 – never mind!

Sziget Festival Summary: Day 1 – phenomenal Cirk la Putyka
Finally Day 1 started! All the closed parts of the festival opened their gates, more and more people came and put up their tents and the sun was shining like crazy. The day was dusty, I am thinking that if there would be no rain or watering of the paths and stage areas, it will […]
