Sziget Festival 2011
It was browsing through Wikipedia a few years back that first brought the Sziget festival to my attention. Based in Budapest, Sziget is one of the best international music festivals in Europe. Playing over seven days every August on the Sziget Island floating on the Danube between Buda and Pest, it represents everything that is great about music. Forget Glastonbury, Sziget is where all the great artists go to showcase their latest and greatest.
The 2011 line up (August 8th - 15th) includes; Kasabian, The Prodigy, Kaiser Chiefs, Empire of the Sun, Interpol and many more. Amy Winehouse was scheduled to appear but has cancelled at the last minute…probably a good thing to be honest. Last year Muse closed the festival on the main stage with an outstanding performance from their latest album and many of their previous hits.
The festival is in a prime spot allowing you easy access to explore both sides of the city and sample all of the great food and bars that can be found there. All the festival goers are friendly and you don’t have to worry about feeling out of place. It’s a much friendlier vibe then any other festival I’ve been to. Also if you’re worried about roaming fees on your phone, there are many deals available in Budapest that can lessen your worldwide roaming prices. Last year I was unable to share all my photos straight away mainly because my old tariff wouldn’t allow me the data storage required. This year I am well prepared and will be uploading as many photos and videos from Sziget as possible.
Sziget is one of the best places to be this summer. If you haven’t already booked, do so now before all passes and tickets are sold out.
