Sziget 2014 Festival Timed To Avoid Overlaps
Change language:
(MTI) – The Sziget 2014 festival will be held between August 11 and 18 in order to avoid overlaps with other international festivals, the chief organiser said on Monday.
By holding the event a week later than in recent years, Sziget 2014 will not overlap with festivals in Japan and America, and more international stars can be invited to play in Budapest, Karoly Gerendai said. Advance ticket sales have already proven the decision right, he added.
The Sziget 2014 line-up will include The Prodigy, Lily Allen, Bonobo, Skrillex, Die Fantastischen Vier, Brody Dalle, Bastille, Calvin Harris, Outkast, Manic Street Preachers, and The 1975.
Gerendai said that in addition to a good line-up, Sziget offers special services and circumstances that make the event unique.
“The festival has become Hungary’s number one tourism attraction, drawing twice as many people as for instance the Formula One race. We can utilise the fact that Budapest is getting increasingly popular among young adults,” he said.
