When will the next festival take place?
The 2026 Sziget Festival will be held between 11 and 15 August on Óbuda Island in Budapest. Pre-registration for discounted tickets closed last Wednesday. Although the dates are now confirmed, there had been uncertainty for months about whether the festival would go ahead next year at all.
The doubts arose after the festival’s American–British owners initiated the termination of their land-use agreement with the city of Budapest, sparking rumours that Sziget might permanently close its gates.
One of Europe’s biggest music festivals back in Hungarian hands
The situation was finally resolved when the festival’s founder, Károly Gerendai, bought back Sziget from its previous owners. Following lengthy negotiations and debates in the city assembly, he managed to secure a new agreement between the organisers and the capital, ensuring that the festival can continue its more than thirty-year history.
For decades, Sziget Festival has been one of Hungary’s largest and most iconic cultural events, attracting tens of thousands of visitors from all around the world each year.
The news that the festival has been saved and will return next year is not only a relief for devoted fans, but also a major milestone for its future — especially with Károly Gerendai’s return at the helm.
