Arctic Monkeys, Kendrick Lamar, Stormzy, Mumford and Sons, Liam Gallagher and more. Who’s going?
We’re very aware that you might have your hard-earned cash earmarked for a certain festival, but very few are like Sziget Festival in Budapest, Hungary.
To begin with, the festival runs from August 8- 14th which is nearly twice as long as most other festivals and it takes place on an island, Old Buda Island to be precise.
