I haven't been myself, but friends have been last year.

Great list of acts announced so far! I'm curious what more is to come.

What I heard from my friends:

- Music goes on 24 hour per day.

- The camping is good, but during the day most people are laying on the beach or in the water.

- There's a direct train from Budapest Deli Station.

- Atmosphere is very good. My friends have been to many festivals and said only at Sziget they found a better atmosphere.

For more info on the Hungarian festivals I recommend the website of their UK promoters www.ostfest.com

Cheers mate think im gonna go for it

[Cameleye]

Ticket booked! This is going to be awesome, have done Exit festival a couple of times and loved it, this looks pretty similar happy days! Just really really really want Boys Noize to play!

[JC-Mo'Fucka]

boys noize are at sziget so no chance there! a-trak diplo/major lazer would be pretty good for me.

also maybe: big boi / TEED/ SBTRKT although I think the likes of Avicci & laidback luke are more likely

Ahhh man well I'm still going to live in hope! Major Lazer/ Diplo would be awesome. Have you been before JC? How expensive is beer? Are there 'alternatives' to alcohol available?

This is my wish list:

Boys Noize

Erol Alkan

Moderat

Marco Carola

Monkey Safari

James Blake

XXYYXX

Bart B More

Caspa

Friction

Seth Troxler

Art Department

[JC-Mo'Fucka]

nah never been. cristall answered a few questions from what mates said above though.

sziget is like 1.40 euro a beer so im expecting similar although i'm also expecting for the only beer to be heineken. i'm hoping you can get vodka into the campsite as that'd see me through any festival nicely.

[JC-Mo'Fucka]

will do. budapest deli will be pretty easy to get to from the centre? think i'll have to buy these train tickets on the day

[Cristall]

Yes, it's the end stop of one of the metro lines.

[JC-Mo'Fucka]

Nas confirmed! Along with some other (shite) acts (modestep)

Just major lazer/diplo now come on balaton....

[cotsymccaba]

Does anyone know if you can bring alcohol into the festival? And are there any supermarkets nearby?

[murphtheturtle]

I travelled from NY in 2011 for this festival and would highly recommend it. To answer a few questions asked above, in relation to alcohol, you can't walk in with a big slab of cans but whatever you can fit in your bag is no problem as security is slack enough. Camel eye, I would be careful about the alternatives you speak of, saw some bad experiences when I was there, some people really came too far out of their shells because of some of the dodgy products floating around.

[JC-Mo'Fucka]

I can't book train from budapest to zamardi online.. will i be able to do this (fairly cheap) on the day? is there any way of pre booking?

Cee-lo has cancelled all his eu tour dates! Replaced with afrojack lol

[Cameleye]

Do any of you guys know what the rules are regarding alcohol in the campsite?

[murphtheturtle]

Bottling spirits sounds like witchcraft to me JC! But lets get serious for a minute, you won't get away with glass bottles, put all your spirits in plastic bottles before you get on site or security will just pour them out in front of your eyes. Also, on a side note, spirits will mess you up very quickly in that heat, you'd be better off sticking to your "quid- 2 quid a pint" quote unquote, I don't need to remind anyone of the proverb of the tortise and the hare, which, on another side note, is a personal favourite of mine.

[egg_on_tour]

Thaks for the handy smuggling tips murphtheturtle!

Are they very strict with bag searches/pat downs at the gate?
