Since it’s pretty much one of the most exciting things that has been happening in Budapest every summer since 1994, I must have heard about Sziget at least several dozen times. Finally, it happened and all the hype wasn’t for nothing – a week-long celebration filled with booze, music and half naked men, Sziget was very cool. I went for two days – first to see Gogol Bordello, Mau Mau and Madness, and then back for Leningrad and The Killers.
Both Pink and Juliet and the Licks were a letdown for my feminist pride. On the bright side, I took some nice photos. One of the best ones is of fabulous Mauro who looks more a rock star than most of the festival put together.
