Superstar Will Perform at Sziget Festival

A real popular artist – in Hungary and abroad – has been signed by the organizers of the festival in 2015. For the Day Minus One, Robbie Williams will be coming, who is one of today’s best-selling pop icons, hvg.hu says.

Most recently, Robbie Williams gave a concert in Budapest in April 2014, then he also could make the city crazy, so it is guaranteed that the August 10th Sziget concert will enthuse the Hungarian and the foreign fans too.

Attracting of Williams is also a big feat because the artist rarely gives festival concerts. However, his You Let Me Entartain European tour will also reach the Obuda Island (which is the location of Sziget Festival).

According to hvg.hu, during his career, Robbie Williams published 11 albums and he won 17 Brit Awards among others. In 2006 – still a record – ha could sell 1.6 million tickets in just one day, but his name is also linked to the largest open-air concert: a total of 375 000 visitors saw him during three nights in Knebsworth.

Karoly Gerendai, Managing Director of Sziget Festival Ltd. said a total of 25.000 daily tickets were issued for Day One Minus. The first 10.000 units are available at discounted prices for HUF 18.000. After that, tickets for this day will cost 20.000 Forints, subject to availability. The weekly tickets will be, of course, valid for this day too. Tickets can be purchased from midday of February 2.

When Williams was in Budapest with his swing show last time, he pleased the fans with the 20 students of the Rakosliget primary school of music, with whom he sang the old song of Frank Sinatra, the High Hopes, hvg.hu said.

Other important performers were also announced by the organizers of Sziget earlier, so it is sure that in addition to Robbie Williams, Florence & The Machine, Jamie Woon, José Gonzáles and the alt-J will also perform at the festival.
