Sziget – Tamás Kádár is satisfied with the number of visitors of 420 thousand

“During the two missed seasons in Europe, the anticipation for entertainment was huge, so when it was finally possible to go partying again in 2022, people everywhere went to the party en masse. Last year’s Sziget was also visited by many people who bought their tickets at the end of 2019 and then they had to wait almost three years, but they did it”

– explained Tamás Kádár.

He was not yet able to say whether this year’s festival was profitable for Sziget Zrt., the final figures are influenced by many other factors, including the hospitality industry traffic, and much information is not yet available.
The six-day event, which ended at dawn on Wednesday, did not have a sold-out day this year (Friday with Imagine Dragons and Tuesday’s closing with Bille Eilish came close), but every day at least one world star made it, among others Florence + The Machine, David Guetta, Mumford & Sons and Macklemore.

The main organizer said: they have been working on bringing Billie Eilish to the festival since 2018, when the performer was not yet considered as big a star as she is now. “Whoever was there saw what an amazing concert he gave and how much fun both the audience and the artist had.”
