Attended by over 565,000 people last year, Europe’s answer to Glastonbury welcomes the biggest male pop star on the planet as its first headliner
Date: 7th-13th August 2019

Sziget is Europe’s most diverse festival and the fifth biggest in the world.
So what better platform for the biggest selling artist on the planet to take the stage for a headlining performance than Budapest’s legendary Island of Freedom? Ed Sheeran’s infectious sing-along tunes and stories of love, loss and youth have earned him countless awards and the title of current king of pop, and are set to be the perfect soundtrack to Sziget’s Love Revolution in August 2019.
Szitizen Prime passes for Sziget 2019 are on sale from 1st October.
Ed Sheeran began his career busking on the streets of London and living on mates’ sofas. Fast forward ten years and Sheeran is selling out stadium tours, playing to hundreds of thousands of people with nothing but a guitar and loop pedal to protect him. With three UK No. 1 albums and five UK No. 1 singles, he’ll be bringing his tongue-in-cheek blend of pop, folk and hip-hop to the Sziget Main Stage.
