I think it goes on after the Friday night headliner, but maybe it's earlier than that...

I think it's usually on on Weds and Thursdays?  Maybe my memory is playing tricks on me?

There you go then, I really wasn't sure. Does it come on after the Weds fireworks maybe?

It's on when i'm driving into the festival on a Tuesday night. Seeing the light from a distance is like an indicator that we've arrived.

it looks like it is switched on on the Tuesday before gates open on the Wednesday, at least it was in 2017 based on these webcam archives.

This is from 04:30 on the Wednesday morning 21st June 2017

actually I've looked a bit further back, it seems to go on for the first time on 9th/10th June (below is 04:30 on 10th)

Then it was switched off again on the night of 18th/19th June until the Tuesday evening (below is 04:30 on 19th)

Thats awesome, first time I've ever seen the festival all set up but no tents. 

 

I''m easily pleased.

The levels you have gone to are a comfort to me, a fellow obsessive

    • Hmm, weird- Rush are playing the Co-Op live on the 12th and the 14th, and Megadeth are the meat in that sandwich - so they have to roll everything in, roll it out again, only to roll it back in and then out - here's hoping for a prog hokey-cokey with all manner of bizarre time signatures and drum solos! 
    • Depends what you mean by seeing 'more stuff' about it.    I definitely don't trust the original Sun article.

    • Chill. There is no chance Sziget will be cancelled by the government. Even the prime minister held a press conference today, where he confirmed this.   Magyar said they do not want to shut down the country or prevent events from taking place. He gave the example that vetoing an event would be like completely cutting off a large consumer’s electricity supply for the organizers. However, just as they have not taken such a measure against large consumers, they have not taken steps to cancel events either. (Magyar did not name a specific event, but he was presumably referring specifically to the Sziget Festival.) At the same time, Péter Magyar stressed that if disruptions occur in the system or the heatwave persists, it could become necessary to postpone or reschedule events (example: some Hungarian football games will probably be held in daylight, moved to a few hours earlier, to save energy), although he believes there is currently little chance of that happening. This is particularly true for events that rely entirely, or largely, on their own energy sources.
    • If the campervan field residents aren’t allowed to cut through orchid they’ve got a brutal walk on their hands.   otherwise not too many surprises
