“The list of headliners on the Main Stage is complete and the day tickets are now available. In addition to the already announced headliners on the main stage – Billie Eilish, David Guetta, Florence + the Machine and Imagine Dragons – Mumford & Sons, Lorde and Macklemore have recently joined the line-up, and more than 30 other international acts are on different stages announced”, according to a press release by Sziget CEO Tamás Kádár.
One of the largest festivals in Europe is also reacting to the consequences of climate change and sustainability: “Firstly, at the end of last year we ‘replanted’ our island to eliminate the imperfections in the grassy soil caused by the drought. We are working to ensure continuous irrigation with water from the Danube in the event of a drought. In addition, we are implementing a new anti-dust technique throughout the festival site, which uses the humidity in the air to create a slightly damp layer on the floor, preventing dust from becoming airborne.”
The festival takes place from August 10th to 15th on Óbudai Island in the north of Budapest. The standard tickets cost between €72 (day ticket) and €377 (6 days). pre sales has already started.
