We're well on our way - driving to Budapest in our motorhome. Currently in Nuremberg, and it's really hot (32 degrees plus) but OK as I guess the humidity is lower than we're used to. Back on the road towards Vienna tomorrow. This is the way to do it - the lovely weather and beautiful places we're stopping up are really getting us excited!

Safe journey everyone - see you on an island (rather than the east campervan fields at Glasto!).

Have a safe trip, bank holiday in Dublin, working till Friday and flying on Saturday night, looking forward!

I'm a bit nervous, I've never been on a festival for a week, so I think I probably ended up bringing too much stuff and forgetting the weird essentials, I've seen some lists in the forum that have been very helpful, also the weather shows it might rain during the week, so I don't know if I should bring the wellies.

Hi, yes I think if you bought 2 watches you can use them separate. They are just payment cards. Each card/watch is unique. So I don't think they can share a account. So each card/watch has its own money on it.

does anyone know if on the island there are some drinking fountains where you can fill your bottles with some good water? or is it necessary to buy water? thanks :)

 

 

From what I've read they have free drinking points around the site and by the toilets/showers too, definitely can't be expected to charge for water when the weather gets so hot! 

 

Also, how many forints are people planning on taking with them?

i'm thinking of taking just a litle forints. On the festival you can top off your payment card/watch by card. and if i need cash in the city i'll find a ATM. just bringing some emergency forints i guess.... but maybe i don't bring any at all and just find a ATM when i arive at the airport.

Bottle of wine- £6.84

Small glass of wine 0.1l- 91p

Large glass of wine 0.2l- £1.82

4cl shot of spirits- £2.39 (4cl is a bit under a UK double)

Heyyyy,

 

Just a quick question, does anyone know that with VIP tickets do we have the possibility of setting up camp on the saturday or sunday before Sziget starts on the monday? Thaaaaaanks :music:

You do have the option of moving in early although you have to buy an early moving in pass, have a look on the Sziget website, think you can move in from Friday for 20 euro or Sunday for 15 euro. There's 5 of us moving into vip on Sunday afternoon (:

Hi everybody!

me and friends are coming to sziget for the first time and we bought some tickets for the siesta camping.

my question is about the camping gear..is there a place near the festival that we can buy tents and aero bed or something for sleeping?

we bought 5-day tickets so we will get there only on the third day of the fesitval. 

any reccomendations will be great!

thanks!

Apparently there's a "camping store" on site this year, and there's a big supermarket right outside which usually has some supplies too!

I don't think they do, but given that coke is £1 a bottle you can split one between you and a friend and the mixer would be 50p each, so still less than £3 for what is nearly a double with mixer

We're in Vienna now - a stone's throw from Budapest.it's absolutely baking - 35 degrees plus. So I really don't think you'll need wellies. If it rains, I think we'll be glad of the respite ☀ ☀ ☀

Exciting! Have a safe trip, I'm sure you'll have a blast, I did Benicassim alone in 2012 and met some amazing people, everyone's just out to have a good time! 

 

I can't wait, we're leaving at half 6 Sunday morning to catch the 11:45 flight out from Gatwick :D

is this thing of the "camping store" inside the festival been officially confirmed or is it just a rumor? 

The impression I get from the Sziget Official Facebook page is that you can collect camping items on site but you need to order them online on the Sziget website.  I see a few things are already sold out.

    • They are going to have Blink 182 for sure, early June upto around Werchter weekend I'd say for them. Two of Sweden Rock,  Greenfield and RFP are going to miss out.
    • I've come across a few this weekend saying Deftones aren't big enough for Download.   I would recommend b&b hotel hbf the night before....cheap, comfortable and very decent. Within 10 minutes from the station and a tram stop outside to jump on...all travel is free during the festival time as well with a kombi. Lidl is very good and cheap I can't lie....€6 for a chair with carey handle, €20 with a bag too...you can work that out yourself.   If you camp, get up at 5am and go to the queue....literally don't question it as now I know.     The travel wise part is easy when you get the hang of it and I've never had an easier exit from a festival today tbh. We were camped in the turn left section but past the registration and to get water you have to come right out.   Opening up an exit through he camp at least by Friday morning when everyobe is there would be much better but you csnt walk through general if you're green and sonon.   I think the issue for me probably too is I have never taken like a mutliple litre water too, I've always done a 6 pack water from like poundland lol but you definitely need it. I had one shower that was cold lol   Talking of getting into the front, Volbeat was the only easy one, for Maiden and especially Linkin Park if you weren't in the queue for it by at least the last quarter ot Architects you had no hope....it was shocking. I do like orbit to sit down. I had to decide to sack off Within Temptation too or no chance.   Second stage biggest gripe is the faff of walking all the way round when VIP or whatever it is literally get access to each bit. I did read tbh before going people though RIP/Ring was turning too much the wrong way.   Also as a side note, caught some of Limp Bizkit last night too and they are not headliner but any distance at all. Yes they pull a crowd...they would do with LP finished but on the grand scale its a super weak booking. Stop, start for video recordings all the way through a headline set?, 1hr 15 minutes and you can't play for that time. I'm so glad they were not chosen to headline main.   On another thing, if RIP played it right they'll get GC and Avril to sub/second stage headline on the Blink day.   Toilets and cleanliness is a big plus I will say that.    
    • Any of the likes of Keo, Basht. and Cardinals could all fit in here.  Although they’re the sort of bands that could fit many of the stages at Glastonbury 
    • Glasto loves a come back act - how about the Rapture?    
    • Yeah mentioned in the park thread but feel more Woodsies to me
