Currently debating whether to go to Rock Werchter or Sziget. What are some reasons I should come to Sziget? 

If you need some interesting stuff bar the music, like circus / yoga / cabaret  etc. - you should try Sziget.
If you need strong lineup - it definitely loses to Werchter.

Thank you for the response. I usually go to Glastonbury but didn’t manage to get tickets this year. 
 

I suppose that Sziget has the advantage of being in the city so could also find other stuff to fill time with.

Absolutely, no need to spend all day, every day at the festival. Budapest ruin bars are a good night out.

Been to both quite a few times.

 

Rock Werchter is a lineup based festival, if they have an average lineups then it loses most of its charm. As you could pick up the same standard of lineup elsewhere.

 

Plus points it's a 4 day festival with full day lineups and is a very calm lineup.

 

Minus points is perhaps the crowd not being very enthusiastic in the most part. 

 

Sziget is a full on festival, or a chilled festival depending what you want. Personally I don't think it's the same post covid, lost a lot of it's charm and not a cheap festival now. 

 

Plus points it's a 6 day festival, with a varied lineup and lots to do and short hop into Budapest.

 

Minus points, main stage they only have 4 acts on and doesn't start until 4pm and finishes before 11pm. Lineups wise Sziget is more weaker than most large festivals in Europe and over sells the other stuff. 

 

If you are after an alternative in Europe, with a mixture of better lineups and lots of stuff going on. Then I would look at Roskilde festival, 4 day festival + 3..

 

Pre covid sziget was my fave festival I've been to, post covid Roskilde steals it.

We do both...one for the good weather holiday feeling and one for the line up...

 

We did it this year too and it worked well.
