Sziget Festival organiser shared favourable news concerning this year’s beer prices
Change language:
Ticket sales for this year’s Sziget Festival indicate a big increase in the number of Hungarian visitors, Tamás Kádár, the chief organiser of the event, said on Tuesday.
Lots of foreign attendees
As for foreign attendees, the largest number will come from the Netherlands, followed by visitors from countries neighbouring Hungary, Kádár said. “By now we have sold more tickets than last year; the downward tendency seen since 2022 seems to be reversing,” the organiser said, adding that Wednesday’s Charli XCX and Thursday’s Shawn Mendes concerts were expected to be completely sold out, similarly to Post Malone on Sunday.
This year’s Sziget programmes will start on Wednesday, but several thousand people have already started putting up their tents at the festival venue on Obuda Island. The festival programme will also feature Kid Cudi, Chappel Roan, Anyma, Kooks, Nelly Furtado, FKA Twigs, and Kiss of Life, as well as Hungarian performers Pogany Indulo and Deva on the Main Stage.
The Revolut Stage will offer concerts by Empire of the Sun, Justice, Papa Roach, Caribou, and Brutalismus 3000. Asked by MTI, Kádár said the Hungarian government’s recent ban on Irish trio Kneecap from the event and from the country for their anti-Semitic views would “not have an impact” on the festival.
