Im still hoping that Bieber will cancel and they will replace him with someone who doesnt make cheesy pop music. 

Interesting to see that beers for 1000 at Volt- are they run by the same people, and therefore we can expect the same price at Sziget? 

I dont  want Justin but I think he will be a huge miss as they will not replace him with anyone decent and they will bump folk up. 

1000 would be a decent price thats about £2.15 according to Google

Nice, One of the appeals of Sziget is the cheap booze prices, i remember going to Balaton about 10 years ago and thinking how great it was to get a cold fresh pint whenever you liked without worrying about the cost (it was about £1.50 for a Heineken!). 

Luckily the Pound seems rather strong against the Forint, unlike the Euro.

JB and his wife were out on the town in L.A over the weekend and, although he wasn't smiling, he didn't appear to be struggling anymore (no droop in the eye etc). I'm no doctor, obviously, but he does appear to be on the mend.

Are bigger bags allowed on the festival site? What do people advise ? Just to bring a jacket or rain poncho. 

The weather seems to be unpredictable to me. Or is a T-shirt and shorts simply good 😉 ! I don’t know how often there are thunder storms….

Well, people camp in the festival area, so you can bring bigger bags, duffels, suitcases,... 😁

Well, it's five weeks tomorrow. Time seems to be flying by. Those of us heading from the UK should know by Friday whether our plans are impacted by flight cancellations or not, which will make for a nail-biting next 80 hours or so.

What are everybody's plans? We're in the city centre, near the chain-link bridge arriving in the city Tuesday afternoon and fly out the following Tuesday.

Fly out on the 1st flight on the 8th, got to get there early. 😄

Been checking out and patterns of BA cancellations, yes I'm that nerdy and sad. Monday first flights seem OK at the minute. 😁

camping in chill camping this year. Bit gutted bridge upgrade camping has gone, as that was perfect with being away from the all night venues.

(Hopefully) flying from Heathrow to Vienna on the Sunday. Couple of nights there before grabbing a train to Budapest on Tuesday lunchtime. Staying in the city and then flying back to Heathrow on the following Wednesday, giving us one spare day after the festival has ended to explore Budapest - something we failed to do when we came in 2019!!

Full festival schedule coming “very soon” according to the latest instagram post 👀

I love the fact the post is asking who your favourite main stage act will be when they've not actually told us who will be on the main stage! Hilarious 🙄

Has anyone noticed that Fontaines D.C. have been moved to Sunday 14th on the website?

Back on the Monday. 🤣

They are not very good at this lineup business on the website.

We are going 8th - 18th - Ryanair from Manchester. Fingers crossed! 
 

I hope JB plays - not a massive fan but would probably take the chance to see him, & it’s too late to get anyone of a similar stature.

We're on that flight too, staying on site from the Monday and a hotel room booked Tuesday night, what are the transfers like from the airport to the festival?

If you take the train / tube, make sure you validate your ticket in the machines. Friends of mine got caught out when we went.

I'm actually in Budapest interrailing for part of sziget, might consider a day ticket!

I thought about the passes as the transfer is included and we are going to try and see a bit of the city too

Buy a city pass at the airport and use it from there. It isn’t in your ticket but for us staying off site it has always been worth having despite seeing a bit pricey at first sight. You can use it for as many river trips as you like, one free spa and as many half price ones as you want, free trams and trains - just so easy.

Its well worth spending time exploring the city. Some days it is easy to go earlier in the day & just come back for headliners. Despite having a full ticket, we sometimes skip a day in the middle!


In the past we have got a taxi from the airport cos we don’t know where we’re going but got the train back. We know Budapest a bit better now so may well get the train from the airport to the city & then see what we think.

see you on the 8th!

May do the city pass at the airport then, will look into it, its our first foreign festival so bit daunting, especially for someone who likes to be duper organised 😆

Understandable yep, sure you'll have a good one.

Not sure what your budget is but the food inside is pretty steep almost UK prices so we always went to the Auchan supermarket - its like hungarian costco and their food hall has amazing food. if you forget anything - pretty much everything is there and they have lots of special sziget themed stuff outside like we got free drinks in this pop-up bar one day of 2019!

Be sure to camp in shade as well if at all possible - sziget can be a scorcher!

Maybe we’ll share a taxi then! 🤣

Its quite an easy city to navigate because there is an app for the transport system. There are also Sziget Reps at the airport who will help to point you in the right direction!

Could you Facebook friend me so we can link up? I’m Ay Em Eff on there (don’t ask!) I’d be happy for us to share a taxi into town. 

I warn you - their taxi drivers are f in nuts!

1st time we got a taxi to the site from the airport. Taxi driver gave us a tour of the city in his taxi, just because he was friendly. We didn't ask and he didn't charge us extra.

Good job we wasn't in a rush.

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
    • Yup and they aren't cheap   Glastonbury is different though, it's a place that will pack out for rarities they don't usually see. Download strictly speaking shouldn't be the strangest place for Avril to pop up of she had been a touring artist of longer times over the years.   Avril and GC would get the same billing for me and GC are selling arenas out quicker than Avril sold Ally Pally. Bearing in mind she'd pnly done soem Brixton dates before.
    • Avril gets above GC on rarity (see Cypress Hill this year). She drew in something like 70,000 at Glastonbury, so much so that they had to close the field off. I’d wager that she would get the biggest crowd of the entire weekend if she was to play DL.
