Sziget might be one of the most widely-adored festivals on the calendar, but the team don’t take it for granted; constantly expanding the site and assembling genre-expansive bills that straddle pop, rock, indie, electronic music and everything in between. In 2025, the week-long event is set to introduce a handful of new arenas and revamped venues, including the Szoho district, a “multicultural hub” inspired by iconic city districts like Soho in London and New York. Elsewhere, the Delta District will function as the festival’s new nightlife epicentre, offering entertainment options from dusk ’til dawn. The seven-day spectacular will return to Óbuda, the largest Danubian island in Budapest, from 6th to 11th August 2025, with a world-class line-up of artists to boot. Electronic music once again stands tall in the billing, with appearances from Armin van Buuren, Anyma, Justice, Kneecap, Steve Angello, Ahadadream, Blawan, HorsegiirL, and hundreds more across the week. Last year, Sziget celebrated its 30th edition, hosting a whopping 1,000+ performances across 50 stages, and drawing a crowd of more than 500,000 dancers. It’s no surprise then that it continues to rocket up the rankings in our Top 100 Festival poll, peaking at No. 13 in 2025. OLIVIA STOCK
