Sziget Festival <\/a>returns for yet another spellbinding year, bringing the best music<\/a> and performance acts from across Europe to its unique location on The Island of Freedom in Budapest, Hungary.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The festival, which is now in its 33rd year, is an immersive 24\/7 experience similar to that of Glastonbury Festival<\/a> in the UK, but twice the size and with a European edge!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n For six days, Sziget transforms Budapest\u2019s \u00d3buda Island<\/a> into The Island of Freedom, and attracts \u201cszitizens\u201d from over 100 countries.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Having attended before, I know how fun and eclectic the event can be. So, whether you\u2019re already attending Sziget, or you\u2019re debating whether to go, here\u2019s everything you need to know about this 6-day musical extravaganza.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Running from 6 to 11th August, Sziget will feature a cross-section of the biggest names in music today. Opening the festival is Charli XCX<\/a>, followed by Shawn Mendes, A$AP Rocky, Anyma and Post Malone, before Chappell Roan<\/a> closes the festival on the Monday evening.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n There\u2019s really something for everyone at Sziget, and the festival does incredibly well at pulling together lineups that incorporate the most popular musicians today, as well as up-and-coming musicians across all sorts of genres.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Festival-goers can look forward to the likes of Armin Van Buuren, FKA Twigs, Nelly Furtado, Papa Roach, Blossoms, Empire of the Sun, Sevdaliza, The Last Dinner Party, KNEECAP and many many<\/em> more. See the full lineup here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n There are a range of options<\/a> for attending Sziget, including day passes, 3-day passes and passes to the entire 6-day festival. Here\u2019s a snapshot of your ticket options:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Sziget festival is located on \u00d3buda Island in the heart of Budapest. The exact address is: M\u00e1jus 9. park, Budapest, Hungary, 1033.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n If you\u2019re heading from the UK to Budapest, you\u2019ll want to fly into Budapest Ferenc Liszt International Airport (BUD). From there, the metro can get you to pretty much anywhere you want to go, including to The Island of Freedom.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Budapest also has three main railway stations for domestic and international travellers to Sziget.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Additionally, you can take the Sziget Express train from The Netherlands directly to the festival site, grab a direct flight from Dublin with one of their package deals or make use of one of the bus routes to Sziget from The Netherlands, Germany, Austria or Italy. Driving to the festival is not recommended, however, as parking spaces are very limited.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Just like Glasto, Sziget offers free on site camping<\/a> in their basic camping zone, which includes community showers and toilets. You can either take a tent yourself, rent one at the site or have one pre-pitched and waiting for you when you arrive.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n There are also premium camping and glamping options in their premium zones, which include extra amenities like a 24-hour reception, exclusive showers and toilets, free luggage storage and access to the Wellness Zone, depending on your ticket type. You can take a camper van or caravan to Sziget, too.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n For absolutely everything you need to know about camping, including accessibility FAQs, visit here<\/a>.

The physical venue will be restructured into new \u2018districts\u2019 \u2013 including Szoho (an urbanised area inspired by London and New York\u2019s Soho districts), Delta (Sziget\u2019s new nightlife epicentre) and North Field.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Within these districts, and across the entire site, you\u2019ll find so much to do beyond seeing myriad live music acts.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n There is a huge range of food and drink vendors, merch and shopping stalls, wellness activities, cabaret and comedy shows, screenings, installations, talks, a beach and much more. Make sure you download the Sziget Festival app ahead of time to keep up with it all!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n WiFi is available around the site, as are first aid points. There is an Aldi City for festival-goers to buy groceries on site, and if you purchase BBQ products, they\u2019ll grill them for free!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n There is a limit on food, drink and tobacco products that you can bring into the festival.
