Sziget Festival Budapest 2009
The Sziget 2009 Festival is a special event that will be openly circulated throughout the different types of media. This is a musical, artistic expression and a meeting point between different cultures and tendencies. This is the biggest festival in Europe and the third in the world! Also known as “Woodstock on the Danube”, the festival celebrates its seventeenth edition. The festival lasts for seven days without stopping, has 1,000 shows, 70,000 campers, and expects an attendance of 400,000 people throughout the week.
This is a unique event where you can hear everything: from Pop, Rock, or Heavy Metal, to Blues, Hip Hop, reggae, African music, World music, Folk, Dance, Jazz, Classical or many other sounds. But the Sziget Festival also offers other things like theatre, exhibitions, dance, film, video festivals, extreme sports and international cuisine.
The best artists from around the world meet at this festival. It is like a dream come true!
There is no shortage of great performances from world renowned artists. In recent years, bands and singers such as Eisbär, David Bowie, Lou Reed, Iggy Pop and Patty Smith, amongst others have put on shows! In this edition, however, the festival will announce the best of the international rock scene, such as: The Prodigy, Placebo, Fatboy Slim, The Offspring, Bloc Party, Snow Patrol, Ska-P, Ting Guración, Péndulo or Calexico.
Óbuda Island, where the festival is held, is only two kilometres from the Budapest centre – a charming capital, divided by the Danube in Buda and the old residential area, Pest, the centre of all commercial activities.
Transport is very efficient. There are special connections to go to the festival day and night and there will be all sorts of amenities for these special days! Obuda is like “being on another planet,” one feels free and there is a peaceful, pleasant and respectful atmosphere. Every one respects each other’s culture and tradition. You can create new friendships, new loves and new ideas. You’re going to explore new feelings as if you were not in a real world, very distant from our everyday life.
