Here’s a cool souvenir from this year’s Sziget Festival. The Editors, playing their song “Bricks and mortar” at Sziget 2009. Even if winter’s coming, remembering this great summer always feels good. Enjoy!
Now that Sziget 2009 is over, we can all remember the fun we’ve had here on Sziget News. Alex was the first one to send us a few pictures he took this year. Enjoy!

Here’s the latest we received, from Szigetnews friend Kevin:
 Sziget was good as always, but it was better the last couple of years… Prices
have gone up extremely over the last two years. Line-up was a nice 90ies-feel
line-up, but we’re living 10 years later…
Two friends of mine were robbed. Both were sleepinh in there tents when people
came into their tents to get stuff out! That’s not your own fault!
Don’t know if I’ll go again. Maybe I’ll try the EXIT-festival next
year… But it’s a hard choice to make. Main reason to go to Sziget is the
massive possibilities to chill in tons of places!
Our reader szigetist has shared his very enthusiastic memories with us. Here they are.
“Great festival, nice people, affordable food and drinks, great weather, uninspiring line-up on the main stage, but the rest was great (parov stelar, vitalic, justice,…) and party 24/7, all in all the best festival i’ve ever been to!!!”
Szigetnews friend Michael has sent us his account of this year’s Festival. Here it is:
“Great festival, as has been said carl cox and pendulum cancelling was a joke as
was the whole dance set up a.k.a no one knowing when anyone was on. IMO Digweed
more than made up for Cox,think there could be room for improvement dance music
wise anyway. Everything else was top notch, had to drag myself away from the
world music stage a few times it was so good. Good few of my friends had stuff
stolen, but thats not the organisers fault. Thanks to Hungary and the good
people at sziget for one of the best festivals I’ve ever been to. “
We have another not-so-happy festival visitor. Frank says:
“i agree with Niall
+ the underground music stage (last year called the master card tent or something) disappeared! instead there was this commercial Burn-stage
i think this was my last visit of sziget”
