Sziget This Weekend

Annual festival returns to Hungary this weekend

The annual Sziget Festival is currently underway in northern Budapest and the festival is this year, as ever, playing host to a number of big names as well as a selection of local and upcoming talent.

Among the headline acts set to play are Sigur Rós, Róisín Murphy, !!! and CHVRCHES. The festival runs until August 17, so if you’re in Budapest or just a fan of very last-minute decisions, get yourself to their website here and check out what delights the local acts scheduled to play also have on offer.
