Budapest’s Sziget Festival opened with a full house of 95,000 visitors on its first day on Wednesday, featuring a concert by Dua Lipa on the event’s main stage.
Organisers said in a statement that ticket sales suggested similarly large audiences for concerts on Friday and Saturday, too.
On Friday Stromae and Justin Bieber, while on Saturday Calvin Harris and Lewis Capaldi will be the festival’s main attractions.
The statement noted that in the 30 years of the festival’s history tickets had been sold out for Faithless in 2001, Rihanna, Sia, and the Muse in 2016, and Ed Sheeran in 2019.
On Thursday, American band Kings of Leon and British band Bastille will perform on the island.

The Glastonbury festival attracts 200,000 people who travel from all over the world, so 95,000 is not an impressive number. Mind you, Glastonbury has top acts, Szitget does not.
I am so impressed with your statement, Anonymous. The UK is so much better than everywhere else. Hail Britain, the kingdom of festivals that no one cares about. Limp fella, you. Does it make you feel better to compare sizes?
