The biggest music festival in the region is still going strong after nearly 25 years. Taking over its own island (sziget), this sprawling, multi-cultural event is unique in that it comprises many stages and all kinds of attractions for all the family. Arriving by HÉV suburban train to Filatorigát or by special festival boat from Margaret Bridge, hundreds of thousands of visitors ('Szitizens') are immersed into a completely new world for the length of their stay.
Most come for the music alone, of course, but camp out here and you'll get the full Sziget experience. Consistently winning prizes for Best Festival Infrastructure, Sziget also scores high for food and drink, and children's entertainment.
For 2026, headliners include Twenty One Pilots, Florence + The Machine and Lewis Capaldi, along with UK favourites such as Underworld and the Lambrini Girls. On the electronica front either, Richie Hawtin, Sara Landry and Nia Archives provide a darker, clubby atmosphere, while the domestic field is bolstered by Beton.Hofi and Analog Balaton, among others.
