Elkezdődött a Sziget Fesztivál - nézzünk meg róla egy rövid összefoglalót angolul!
Sziget Festival, held on Hajógyári island on the Danube in Budapest, opens on Wednesday 10th August with Rihanna, the Muse and Manu Chao featuring in its lineup. Besides Rihanna, whose concert on Thursday has been sold out, David Guetta, the Chemical Brothers, Sia and Noel Gallagher will also perform during the week-long festival.
Sziget’s Main Stage was named after the recently-deceased booking manager Dan Panaitescu, who worked on staff for twenty years. Tribute will also be paid to David Bowie in the Magic Mirror tent under the title “Ashes to Ashes” on Wednesday, Day Minus One.
Sigur Ros from Iceland will play for the first time at the festival this year. Their performance is on Saturday. The last day of the festival, next Tuesday, will feature the US Lumineers and the UK’s Last Shadow Puppets.
“The festival will be one of the safest places in Budapest”, chief organiser Károly Gerendai said at a press conference on Monday. Security will be tightened at the entry points and this year visitors can be identified by their bracelets for the first time. Head of operations Dániel Benis told MTI that a security staff of 1,300 will operate on festival grounds, working in collaboration with fire services, police and medical staff, altogether numbering about 3,000. A special ambulance force with nine cars on call and space for medical helicopters to land will provide medical assistance.
Last year the festival attracted a record number of over 430,000 people. It fetched the European Festival Award for Best Major Festival first in 2011 and then in 2014.

Sziget Festival also has its anthem. Listen to it and read the lyrics.
Odette: Be with you – Sziget 2016 anthem
Look at the sky the highest high
Believe you can touch
Not afraid to fly
Be the one is what you want
Dirty shoes running news
Hard to loose
Let it go nobody knows
We don’t care about tomorrow
Give me back the love you get
We on the sway road you never forget
It’s you you you
And me me me
All we need is love
to set us free
Be with you
You with me
All we need is time
to set us free
Shaking hats
Till we dance
Every red lips
Big sweetromance
Shut your eyes
Feel the lights
The magic happen
Don’t need to hide
It’s you you you
And me me me
All we need is love
to set us free
Be with you
You with me
All we need is time
to set us free
