ABSTRACT
Going strong since 1993, Budapest’s Sziget has grown into one of Europe’s biggest festivals. This year, Roma and Hungarian folk comes to the World Village stage while amateurs and professionals alike go acoustic at the Campfire Stage. Some of the big names to rock Óbuda Island on the Danube in 2014 include Queens of the Stone Age, Placebo, Lily Allen and Macklemore. But the party extends beyond the Island of Freedom-explore the city’s hip “ruin pubs” and “garden clubs” brimming throughout summer, then travel 90 km southwest to the shores of Lake Balaton for Sziget’s official electronic music afterparty, B.my.Lake (voted Europe’s “Best New Festival” for 2013).
