That’s a wrap: Balaton Sound 2019 + Photo Gallery
Change language:
Balaton Sound 2019 – The festival beach lived up to its name. The weather was particularly gracious to BS this year; it was hot and sunny, except for Sunday when visitors could not escape a quick summer storm. But what else was different this year besides the weather?
The first thing that caught my eye while I was sitting on the train to Zamárdi was a giant floating octopus in the air. As we entered the festival, we noticed that the giant octopus also had a number of friends and a giant ray buddy as well.
Upgraded VIP areas
Organisers really wanted to make sure that if you bought a VIP ticket, you left the festival satisfied. Four VIP areas were built this year, 3 of these with a unique theme and vibe.
In front of the main stage was the all-red Circus-themed VIP with red carpets and furniture everywhere.
Next to the Elrow stage, there was the Elrow VIP, which had a tropical jungle vibe with plants and animals all over the place; parrots, flamingos, monkeys, etc.
The VIP beach had its own small piece of lake Balaton. The décor was all-white giving off French riviera vibes.
There was a fourth VIP area inside Dreher Arena.
People dressed up in all kinds of costumes were entertaining the festival-goers all day and night.
Last year, there was hardly anything to do during the day except lying on the beach. This year, many brands represented themselves and entertained visitors with activities and everybody’s favourite thing: free stuff.
