Nevermind.

Could literally be anyone with a tilted head and fairly short hair.

Morrissey would be a great addiction to me, but unfortunately it's not him

I am planning to visit Budapest for the weekend after festival so would you say CityPass is not worth it? If so how do you usually get from the airport to the festival?

There are buses from the Airport. 

But I take the bus the bus to Kispet, the subway to Deak Ferenc, the subway to Batthany, then the overground to Filatorigat.

Thanks Liam, that's really helpful.

And as if it needs reiterating, get a Citypass and exchange it at the Airport.

Seems to be Rihanna.

[AndrewSmith]

It's Rihanna 

 

[ilbeyene]

I hoped for something really different but fine, she is a proper headliner. Still have my hopes on for Day -1.

[Noeliam]

Hmm... may watch her if there's nothing else but that's surely a headline slot that could've gone to Rammstein :/

@eFestivals  on the first paragraph of your article about her: day 0 is thursday the 11th not Tuesday; also, camping is available from sunday the 7th. Also, the formula 1 GP in Budapest will take place on the 24th of july. They changed the dates to have the best artists possible at this period: during the august scandinavian festivals (oya and stuff), and the weekend before Pukkelpop/Lowlands, avoiding Summer sonic (weekend after) and Outside Land (weekend before).
Also, it's minor but the 7 days pass is 249e now.

thanks .... have flagged it up with the editor.

[ilbeyene]

oh, we can tag @eFestivals! Actually there are some other errors in the Sziget description.

- the daily capacity is not 70.000 but 90.000

- the Main Stage pic is very old. Last time the Main Stage was like that was in 2010.

I guess that I should let the editor of efestivals know that I have a ticket for Sziget this year given that I've reviewed plenty of others over the last few years!! I could even be encouraged to take my old camera to take some pics of the new mainstage....

thanks ... you're right that the 70k is wrong but you're wrong that its 90k according to their PR - who has just told us 80k.

The capacity will never be increased in the future (the Sziget boss said that they were using the space in its full capacity).

Maybe 90k with the press (2k) and staff?

that might be correct, yeah - we ask for their daily capacity, but that still leaves room for some interpretation.

@eFestivals it's 80.000 day -1 and 90.000 the other days:

Hopefully we'll get Biffy Clyro and Kaiser Chiefs, and some smaller rock bands like Wolf Alice, Slaves, Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes, Vant and RAT BOY! They're all doing festivals in August.

Maybe manu Chao? He was announced for the frequency festival, which normally share some bigger acts

[neacaisa]

Also, travis looks likely
