Around 400,000 visitors were welcomed at this year’s six-day Sziget festival, and on the closing day, the Skrillex and Fred Again… concerts were almost sold out. The festival’s Saturday was also a highlight, with stars such as Louis Tomlinson and Martin Garrix performing. According to Tamás Kádár, this year’s Sziget was extremely successful, the festival took place in complete calm, and there were no unexpected events – reports Pénzcentrum.

Already after the end of last year’s festival, the organizers saw that there was a significant interest in this year’s event, especially in season tickets. The willingness of Hungarian visitors to buy passes also increased, which encouraged the organizers to start the “super early bird” ticket sales period for 2025 as well.

The musical offer of Sziget is adapted to the tastes of an audience that has become significantly younger in the last ten years. Tamás Kádár emphasized that it is important to offer programs that are attractive to young people and for which they are willing to travel thousands of kilometers. Among this year’s performers, Stormzy, Bebe Rexha, Janelle Monáe, Sam Smith and Raye targeted the younger audience, while Kylie Minogue and Liam Gallagher attracted the slightly older audience to the festival.
