Hungary’s world-famous Sziget Festival in Budapest to get new look, programme elements and here’s the 2025 lineup
The Sziget Festival in northern Budapest this year will be given a makeover both visually and in terms of programme elements, the event’s organisers said on Thursday.
Festival-goers attending Sziget between Aug 6 and 11 can look forward to a host of new programmes and experiences, chief organiser Tamás Kádár told MTI, noting that the event is undergoing a long-term upgrade.
“It is a constant challenge for Sziget to maintain its place in the international competition,” Kádár said, adding that cultural consumption habits, expectations towards festival and the economy required the festival to keep reinventing itself.
“We’re taking a big step forward this year: we’re implementing developments and changes that focus on creative solutions while staying true to Sziget’s fundamental values, vibrant cultural programmes and musical diversity,” he said.
Here is the 2025 Sziget lineup
Sziget will again be offering discounted passes, he said, adding that the early-bird tickets will be cheaper than last year.
Kádár noted that this year’s lineup will feature Chappell Roan, Charli XCX, Anyma, ASAP Rocky, Shawn Mendes and Post Malone, among others.
Cirque du Sziget, the festival’s circus tent, will feature a Japanese production with a blend of traditional Japanese instruments and electronic music along with visual effects, he said.
