Even though some have criticized different things about this year’s festival, SzigetNews friend Iain form Inverness, Scotland had a great time and wants to share it with you. Here’s Iain’s take on this year’s Festival:

“How can anyone say they didn’t enjoy this years Sziget. I don’t care what anyone
says there was something for everyone, when you list the acts the names are
pretty big….REM, The Sex Pistols, The Killers, Lee Scratch Perry, Justice etc.
Look at the price on the ticket and tell me it wasn’t worth it and if anyone got
anything stolen it was their own fault. There was free safe deposit boxes as
well as left luggage containers. What about the great weather, the new friends,
the banter, the variety of food and drinks at good prices, the smiley faces, the
characters and the memories….do you need much more? Roll on next year, I for
one cannot wait!!”

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!!!”

Looks like the festival wasn’t that great for some of our readers. Here’s Niall Cleary’s opinion:

” what a load of rubbish!!!pendulum and carl cox cancelling, justice playin at 12 pm, campsites un-safe and the mood at this years festival was nothing on previous years..yes maiden rocked and REM surprised but seriously the organizers have to take a long hard look at improving next years line-up. apparently 5 days meant a stronger line-up…not convinced at all…wont be telling any stories of praise upon returning home”

Our reader gianpiero wants the festival to return to its usual 7-day format, and also wants “a better programme”
