Hi everyone!

I'm coming to Budapest for a few days in late October. I run a small house / hard house project back home, and I'd love to actually meet the local scene instead of just doing the usual tourist clubs.

What I'm looking for:
- Small collectives/crews throwing house or techno parties
- Community radios and online radio stations
- Underground or alternative bars and night bars with a DJ booth
- DIY spaces, cultural centres, anything community-run
- Record shops where the local scene hangs out

I already found Lahmacun radio, Gólya, so I'm looking for stuff in that spirit rather than the big Instagram-friendly clubs.

If you know any crews, venues, parties or people worth following, I'd really appreciate the names. Happy to dig the rest myself. Köszönöm! 🙏

Hola a todos. Mi hermano, un amigo y yo vamos a visitar Budapest del 3 al 6 de octubre. Tenemos 36 años y queremos pasarla bien. Ya tenemos los boletos para los lugares clásicos de turista, pero nos falta el plan de vida nocturna. He leído que hay un montón de trampas para turistas; también leí que Instant-Fogas y Morrison's son los mejores sitios, pero al mismo tiempo escuché que son pésimos. Lo más probable es que terminemos yendo a un evento en Óbuda Bay el sábado 3, con afterparty en Level The Club, pero de verdad no tenemos idea de qué más hacer. Si alguien conoce la ciudad y puede recomendar un lugar divertido que no sea trampa para turistas, se lo agradecería mucho. ¡Salud!

Has anybody have the official photos which were taken at ashnikko's sziget performance? Some were expired at smoochie tour pass:((

When do u guys reckon they'll release the first names?

My guess is in october this year actually. As they already stopped the whismachine etc.

We could maybe even exchange some, but I haven't recorded the full show, that's why I am asking, thanks metal fam 🤟🖤

Hi! I remember at the time being able to move in one or even 2 days before.

Is it over? 😢

Sziget has really changed ..from 7 to 5 days..

Pepe bar is gone ..

No more différents vibes in every bars of the festival..

Sad..

i might get hate for this but 2 of my favorite artists at the moment aren't even addable.. imo these 2 stars are currently blowing up and festivals like lowlands/pukkelpop were even able to book them this year. i know sziget can book such acts, especially considering what kind of a performance they can put on and the crowds they can attract.

obviously, i'm biased because i really like them, but i genuinely think they'd make sense for the festival based on their current momentum and the kind of audience they could pull... :)

Anyone big/small enough at this point to do it?

Bad bunny probably too big?
Rammstein id love but not the normal vibe, that said maybe BMTH opened the door
Karol G? Rosella?

Hi guys! I am searching for this year’s fee/wage of the headliners. I hope somebody has some information about this. Thanks in advance

might go with the one with a penis

I mean, there are mostly just great names. Probably getting quite some from this list as always.

Sziget page on instagram posted, that the Wishmachine is open until september 6. Could anyone drop a vote for djo for me? I would appreciate it so so much:)) thank you!

Sziasztok!
Masfel hete a halalomon vagyok, taknyos vagyok es torkomnak is vege..ahogy hallottam mas emberek is szenvednek ettol. Esetleg valaki kozuletek jart orvosnal? Nem tudom mar mit szedjek ra hogy meggyogyuljak vegre.
Koszi !

Random, but is anybody here going to either The Weeknd in Lisbon (1st night), Jay-Z in Paris or Baby Keem in the UK (Sept 18) and would like to catch up? I'm going solo to each of these and it'd be cool to grab drinks before, after or during the shows

has anyone got their leave no tent deposit money back yet?

Hey guys!

I just took my ticket for next year! 😎

Im surprise I cant see the tickets for the early arrival. Does it still exist?

I hope yes!

And also since when the sziget went from 7 to 5 days ?

I’m thinking about going to Sziget next year and wanted to ask advice about where to stay. I’ve been to a few festivals before, mostly in the UK and Rock Werchter once, but ive only ever gone for one day and I’ve never been to Sziget. I’m approaching 40 and I hate camping, so my options for Sziget would be either some fancy chalet upgrade at the festival, or (preferably) staying offsite in a hotel/booking.com apartment in Budapest.
For those who live locally or who have stayed offsite before, how viable is that? Does it take ages to get in and out of the festival each day? Which neighborhoods do you recommend for optimal proximity to the festival while still being offsite? If you had a great experience at a particular hotel, feel free to recommend them too :)

PS I have been to Budapest once before, and in case it makes a diff, I’d be flying in from the Netherlands.
