Sziget Festival 2016 – Final Day on the Island of Freedom

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 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 […]

Sziget Festival summary: Day 4 Heat & dust on fire

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

Day 4 was the dustiest and crowdiest day at the Sziget festival. I read somewhere that the organizers had a special spray to apply on roads to prevent the dust from coming up, but they had a runout already on Day 2. This special substance was not available anymore in Hungary so they were trying […]

Posted on 15/08/201522/09/2015by Katechka

Day 3 of Sziget was colorful and dusty. Firstly, we again missed the 4 pm main stage concert of Awolnation. It took us long to get home, eat, wash, write blog, edit pics and return back with the gigantic crowd. I saw in the news that there have been 90,000 people on the island on […]

Posted on 13/08/201522/09/2015by Katechka

Finally Day 1 started! All the closed parts of the festival opened their gates, more and more people came and put up their tents and the sun was shining like crazy. The day was dusty, I am thinking that if there would be no rain or watering of the paths and stage areas, it will […]

Posted on 12/08/201522/09/2015by Katechka

Sziget festival has crossed the baseline and the preparatory stage is over. The festival area seems to be ready, although you could still see some finishing works yesterday. The Szitizens are more than ready, judging from how the people partied the last two nights. The weather forecast does not indicate even any drop of rain […]
