I would also recommend going into town one night before or after who you want to see and take In the ruins pubs. 

And I am not gonna go out during the festival since I am planning to spend my time at the festival from 12 or 13 until 5 in the morning next day, because my schedule is overbooked and there is a lot of bands I wanna hear + performing acts that I wanna see (circus, dance performances,..)

I am arriving 2 days before the festival and staying in the city 2 days after the festival, to explore the city (again) and go out with friends, visit museums,... 🙃

Do we think the “nature reserve” area means it is unavailable for basic camping?

Even more, my friends plan to camp using only basic camping and they're really nervous about that area marked as "free camping" could be the only place to camp without additional upgrades.

Yeah same! Seems like not as much space as previous years for Basic

If that will be the case, this is the end of Sziget as I knew and loved. 

Since 2014 not a year has passed without them restricting the boundaries of the actual freedom on the island or putting a price tag on an experience or increasing the price without improving a real improvement of the offer.


The first time I came a 7 days ticket was 169 €. I paid more for a 3 days ticket in a 6 day festival this year, I could camp wherever I would (as the private camping were small and actually optional), I could go front to back on a stage without any major infrastructure barrier obstructing my way, I could listen to music of ANY kind (world stage i.e.), etc. etc. etc.

The concept seems to have strayed too much from its origin and the jism I get out of it so far is just the one of a Coachella with a touch of eastern Europe extravaganza. I hate Coachella.

Are we supposed to be able to do something with the passport?

You have all the basic info for every zone, map, timetable and the chekpoints where you are supposed to get stamps and when you collect them all you get a small gift 🌞

What happened with themed parties at the main stage? The only one I can see is a fucking sponsored Disney+ fan party smh 😒

In previous years we had a glowstick party, flag party, color party and all others, I am really disspointed 😶

They didn't have them in 2019 if memory serves me right.

They did actually, I was there in 2019, only on the last day there wasn't anything... the other days were banner/climate chnage party, rainbow party, glowstick party, friendship party (with friendship bracelets) and flag party 😕

Oh right. 

Must be the colour party they got rid of in 2019.

Does anyone know if there is another entrance for vip tickets? So you don’t have to wait to get to the festival.
 
I also think sziget is much smaller than previous editions. It’s more like 2014 and before. 

 

Smaller? Compared it to the other passports of previous years? To me it seems like the exact same looking at size. Why do you wonder it’s smaller?

If the free camping is really that small and the nature reserve is not camping, there are way less places to camp on the island. I might be wrong but also on the southern part of the island i thought it was further away from the mainstage where they had a special camping, now thats a nature reserve.

Btw, dont get it why they mention some stages/bars twice on the list with the map

    • 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
