About Sziget Festival

Sziget is one of Europe's biggest music festivals, held every August on Obuda Island in the middle of Budapest. Nicknamed the 'Island of Freedom', its week-long, camp-on-site format and hugely international crowd make it as much a cultural gathering as a concert series.

Next editionSziget Festival

The next Sziget runs in August on Obuda Island, Budapest. A week of dozens of stages and around-the-clock programming draws a young, international audience who camp on the island for the duration.
