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. 

Our first taxi was late at night and he was scrolling his phone and veering across the road for the whole journey! Afterwards we had to question ourselves as to why we had risked death by not saying anything just to be polite!

 

we are now friend @craigyb31

Wow, and I thought Rock Werchter had problems! Fingers crossed we don't get too many of these.

 

I HOPE SO TOO, I literally bought a ticket for first day of Mad Cool to see Glass Animals, and they cancelled today (a day before) 🙃 I hate this

Turns out the Glass Animals cancellation isn't Covid, the lead singer is having vocal issues.

Someone posted a picture of the alcohol prices from balaton on a sziget what's app group I'm on. 

You'd imagine prices will be the same at sziget.

Here are some hints from VOLT festival too (another festival managed by Sziget):

- Cheapest wine: 950 FT

- Cheapest spriccer: 1440 FT

- Cheapest beer: almost 1000 FT

- 0.5L Plain water: 690 FT

- Pizza slice: 1200 FT

- Hamburger: 3000 FT

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.

Sorry if you've already answered this, or someone else has explained it, but why should we know by Friday whether our flights will go ahead? I'm flying from Luton to Budapest on Wed 10th August via WizzAir. Will this also apply to me?

I think this list will be also the list at Sziget. Balaton Sound is like Sziget very international. Volt is less international so more local prices. Not bad for people from outside Hungary. 400 forint is like 1 euro these days.

Its brilliant, after paying £6.20 for a can at creamfields south. 😄

Essentially, the UK government has given all airlines a fines amnesty until Friday. This means that between now and then airlines can cancel any of its summer flights without being fined. So all airlines are going through their roster to cancel flights they don't think they'll be able to deliver, thus avoiding fines.

Does that make sense? So, if your flight isn't cancelled by Friday there is a higher likelihood it will go ahead. Not guaranteed, but likely.

Yeah that makes sense, thank you for the explanation. Fingers crossed then.

Times have been posted on the website - not sure if these are the final correct times.

Nice one. 

Monday looks perfect, although a bit of an odd placement putting Holly Humberstone on the main stage.

Glad Fontaines are playing after Arctic Monkeys snd not clashing with them or Sam fender. Also happy to finish the weekend with Sasha.

Where have you got the info that Holly is main stage? Or is it just the timing?

I've seen her twice before (neither time impressed me particularly) but agree that main stage for her and her kind of music seems bizarre.

Tame Impala v Caribou is my only real tough decision. I've never seen Tame Impala so will go with them.

Probably my age but the A38 seems much weaker this year.

I'd missed that. That is a horrific clash. Saw Caribou last year and absolutely loved them but, like you, I've never seen Tame.

That's gutting.

    • 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
