The main stage hosts an array of headliners across the 6 nights of the festival

Sziget Festival returns for yet another spellbinding year, bringing the best music and performance acts from across Europe to its unique location on The Island of Freedom in Budapest, Hungary.

The festival, which is now in its 33rd year, is an immersive 24/7 experience similar to that of Glastonbury Festival in the UK, but twice the size and with a European edge!

For six days, Sziget transforms Budapest’s Óbuda Island into The Island of Freedom, and attracts “szitizens” from over 100 countries.

Having attended before, I know how fun and eclectic the event can be. So, whether you’re already attending Sziget, or you’re debating whether to go, here’s everything you need to know about this 6-day musical extravaganza.

Who is headlining at Sziget Festival 2025?

Running from 6 to 11th August, Sziget will feature a cross-section of the biggest names in music today. Opening the festival is Charli XCX, followed by Shawn Mendes, A$AP Rocky, Anyma and Post Malone, before Chappell Roan closes the festival on the Monday evening.

Who else will be playing at the festival?

There’s really something for everyone at Sziget, and the festival does incredibly well at pulling together lineups that incorporate the most popular musicians today, as well as up-and-coming musicians across all sorts of genres.

Festival-goers can look forward to........
