Where: Budapest, Hungary
Meaning “island” in Hungarian, Sziget is a week-long renowned music and culture festival that attracts flocks of people to the gorgeous 266-acre Obuda Island just outside Northern Budapest. This year’s Sziget, running from 10-17 Aug, has truly outdone itself with the biggest names in music across a range of genres. Think Muse, Rihanna, Sigur Ros, Sum 41, Kaiser Chiefs, Chvrches, Crystal Castles, Bullet for My Valentine and Axwell /\ Ingrosso.
Even more than that, there’s a calendar of non-stop activities, featuring food from around the world, art buildings and installations, circus acts, fire dances and even a wedding tent.
