Posted on 26/08/201614/01/2017by Katechka

The last day on the Island of Freedom promised yet another full day of programmes including the end show with Hardwell and fireworks. The weather forecast was also showing a giant storm coming on the Sziget Festival around the time of the end show, just like last year. What a coincidence! I started off my […]

How does a Sunday at Sziget Festival 2016 look like? Well, like any other day. Except that you do not really know it is Sunday. It seems that people are no longer getting lost, and the Szitizens were lucky one more time because it did not rain at night. What did the fifth day of […]

The first half of the Sziget week is over and if you think that Szitizens are getting tired, they are not! The parties run all night long, and the Island of Freedom got again sold out! When I was walking through the island late at night, I realised that these festival goers do not even […]

The first days of Sziget flew faster than over a cuckoo’s nest. The third day of Sziget brought new people to the Island of Freedom, who were even fresher than the ones who came for Rihanna. There are almost no signs of the rain from the very first day, and instead, dancing people are raising […]

After a rainy start, Sziget Festival continues with a readiness test because there was a full house on day 0 with Rihanna being the headliner. The atmosphere here at the Island of Freedom is quite relaxed, and although there are occasionally ponds or two, Szitizens manage to jump between them quite skillfully. What did the […]

Sziget Festival summary: Day 4 Heat & dust on fire

Posted on 19/08/201522/09/2015by Katechka

This special substance was not available anymore in Hungary so they were trying […]
