If you're into music festivals, Sziget in Budapest is a must for your bucket list. As one of Europe's biggest festivals, it transforms an entire island in the city into the legendary Island of Freedom. In 2025, mark your calendar for 6th-11th August to dive into the full experience. If you're still on the fence, check out the first headliners!
The first wave of acts features 30 names! Alongside Charli XCX, Chappell Roan, Armin van Buuren, Anyma, Boris Brejcha, Justice, Papa Roach, and Nelly Furtado, other highlights Adriatique, Blossoms, The Blessed Madonna, Kenya Grace, Kneecap (also making a splash this year with a film of the same title), Palaye Royale, RY X, and for those who might not know them yet, we recommend checking out Fat Dog, a post-punk band that emerged this year with an excellent debut album.
