that's not a vision, that there is a nightmare.

Its my First year going to Sziget, just wondering if people could tell me the best way of going about it all ie. booking flights (ive found some ranging between £135-177 depending on which day i arrive and leave), things i should/shouldnt take etc.... any help is appreciated ive been to lots of festivals in the uk b4 and went to one in holland back in '06

thanks

I'm hoping to go for the first time this year too so I'm not sure of the answers to your questions, I was wondering, what time do the bands start at night, is it late start/finish like Benicassim or all through the day like Glastonbury? I'm hoping that it's feasible to go to the city centre at some points during the festival...

Also, can anyone compare the camping at Sziget to the camping at Benicassim? I camped at Benicassim (the only other European festival I've been to) and the camping was hard work in the heat, though it was ace!

The bands get going properly at about 3-4 each afternoon. But there is something going on all night and day.

You definitely have time to get to the city during the day. Really the place doesn't get going until later.

I didn't camp, but the good thing about Sziget is there are no designated camping areas, you can camp anywhere, even beside the music stages. There is lots of shade and trees, but you would need to get there early to find a good spot.

im booking flights next friday i cant wait!!!! yeah you can camp in the woods, and from what ive seen theres so much going on during the day, activities you can do etc, looks like such a great atmosphere aswell!! a few of my mates have been and said its the best festival theyve ever been to, they said they used to shower in the river danube every day wow!

Sziget Official stated there will be daily updates and announcements next week! blup!

[j...rox]

Here's hoping for a couple from The Cure, Foos, Elbow, Noel G and The Black Keys.

[AndyBradshaw1]

Prayin for Pearl Jam *fingers crossed*

theres so much potential of bands from other festivals that could be playing so im well excited/hoping the next announcments are gonna be good! for me id love korn to be one of the headliners, even if its headlining the rock stage or something, but the fact they didnt get announced as a headliner makes me think there not gonna be one mayb high up on main or something, even though they are the main pull for me coming this year from england (never took notice of the festival be tbh lol) i wouldnt be overly fussed if theyre headlineing or not just the fact theyre playing(already seen them on their tour this year) and placebo so glad their a headliner, any other big bands now are an absolute bonus for me

I hope not. I'd put up with her if we got some of Alabama Shakes, Bloc Party, Passion Pit, Bombay Bicycle Club or The Shins

fear not and have patience... i've not yet figured out if they have any pattern to their announcements, i don't think they're that well organised!!

[Lambo_KoRn]

id love the foo's to be playing! saw them last year at MK Bowl and were amazing!

[PastCaring]

Just a thought - maybe they're waiting until the end of the month (i.e., after they've stopped selling early bird tickets) before they make any more major announcements?

As long as they haven't sold out before we can afford to buy ours .......

[AndyBradshaw1]

Haha, Ive already got mine, just seems as though the way tickets are sold and the announcements are made, less people will buy tickets..

[Lambo_KoRn]

how much will the tickets be going in may? im buyin my flights first
