Organisers of Budapest’s Sziget Festival greeted the event’s 10 millionth visitor on Friday.
Veronika Mikes, a 32-year-old Hungarian woman, was given a lifetime pass for the event along with a commemorative flag and T-shirt by organiser Tamás Kádár. “This is only my second time at Sziget. I came to the festival for the first time a few years ago,” Mikes, who had bought a day ticket to see Imagine Dragons with her sister, told MTI.
The festival’s 9 millionth visitor was a Swiss secondary school student in 2018. Friday’s line-up at Sziget features Imagine Dragons, Easy Life, Carson Coma, Yungblud and others.
