I went to the 1st Sziget festival- back when it was called ‘Deak Sziget’ (translated: student island). That 1st concert was amazing and included all of the 60’s & 70’s bands I thought I would never get a chance to see (e.g. Blood Sweat & Tears, Jethro Tull.)

The 2nd year the concert was labeled ‘Pepsi Sziget’, and the festival has been more commericalized ever since.

It is well worh going if you are nearby- the festival is a great way to meet & party with the locals. Hungarians are awesome people.
