The Auchan supermarket has been there for all years I've been going. Of course I can't guarantee it will still be there during the 2012 edition, but it seems unlikely to me that it will disappear suddenly. And if it for some reason won't be there anymore, there are still many other huge supermarkets in Budapest. They'll be a bit further away, but still it's easy to get there with a citypass.

I don't know the exact prices of camping gear in the supermarket, I haven't bought anything there as I never went to Sziget by plane. But I was told it's quite cheap and sometimes even cheaper than taking tent with you on the plane.

And where one airline goes down, others try to take their place. Ryanair will start flying to Budapest from Birmingham, Bristol, London-Stansted and Manchester, while Jet2 announced new flights from Leeds/Bradford. Already existing flights are from Edinburgh (Jet2), London-Gatwick (EasyJet), London-Heathrow (British Airways), London-Luton (Wizz Air) and Manchester (Jet2).

Early birds never sell out, they are only limited in time. Okay, well, in number of tickets too, but then the festival has to sell out completely and that has never happened before.

You can still buy early bird tickets on the official local website szigetfest.co.uk until April 30. From 1 May prices go up.

Hey all! Just a quick question, my friends and I are flying out to Budapest on 4th August and home on the 14th, and are looking for an appartment or hostel to stay in on the days which the campsite aren't open (4th 5th and 13th August). Can anyone recommend anywhere that is relatively cheap yet relatively livable for them few days before/after the festival? Thanks in advance!

So it's all arranged, up for Sziget number 5 this year with Guitarbaz et al. And not taking toddler this year who has been twice himself. Will miss him like hell but looking forward to some me time!!

Looking forward to announcement tomorrow. Wish list would include Daft Punk as the main dance headliner, with Pendulum warming them up. Then Queens of the Stone Age, Foos, Muse, Biffy.

Eek!! So excited!!

    • f**king horrendous and seems they couldn’t run an egg and spoon race.  zero info and the crush waiting to get in to see Massive Attack was potentially disasterous. Zero info, no stewards at all and was told that the whole evening was cancelled, when we got to the exit. Because it rained. First time attendee and i’ve got onsay, i’m far from impressed. Scalping bastard taxis asking €37 plus for an €11 fare too. Wonderdul.
    • Rumours are it's called The Lost Tour. In the US in September. Ireland in November (so UK+Europe a good bet around November/early December). 
    • Hey guys, is there a group going for any solo y not goers this year?? I couldn’t miss out once I saw the acts but it’s just me and would be great to meet some others:))
    • After deciding to abandon the festival, here's a few of my thoughts (mostly negative tbf).    On the positive side - was it just me or were there a few more urinals than last year? Seemed to help the queues at the loos a bit from what i saw. Plus they had at least had some foresight and had a few more covered areas in the VIP areas.    Now on the negatives.  The weather was admittedly pretty crap but it wasn't apocalyptic. How the actual f**k are bits of the main stage falling off in those conditions?  Then the communication was awful, there's a load of people who left the site because they were told by security guards/other personnel that there would be no more acts on the main stage this evening.  You have an app Primavera, use it! Yes, there's a shitload going on I'm sure but communication with the festivalgoers should be one of the top priorities. You failed.    And I'm not usually somebody who buys into the whole "oh this is hugely unsafe and it's lucky people weren't hurt" narrative, but all the above led to movements of people that were genuinely unsafe.  Evacuating Mordor entirely (again... Why???) and then having a horde of people trying to get in because they thought they were going to Massive Attack was insane.  And given a lot of people basically abandoned ship around 10.30pm the crush at both the exit to the festival and the entrance to the Metro was pretty dangerous.   Conditions happen, most people will get that....but the contingencies have to be better. 
    • You'd think that something like bad weather was in the basics of festival planning. After the shitshow of Madrid, you'd think they'd learnt their lesson, apparently not...
