A great day 4 at Sziget 2012, with performances by the likes of Two Door Cinema Club, Sum 41 and Snoop Dogg at the Main Stage. Those choosing to go to the World Music Stage had a night to remember, with The Pogues playing an incredible set there. It was all tons of fun on the island, even if the weather was colder than everybody is used to during Sziget Festival. Cold's probably better than way too hot, isn't it? Either way, today is the last day. After today, Sziget Festival 2012 wraps things up and we all go home, waiting for next year. So, we

Sziget 2012 Day 3 pictures on Facebook
August 10 was a full day at Sziget 2012, with performances by acts such as The XX and The Stone Roses on the Sziget main stage. The A38 had a lot to offer, too. Those that decided to go there could see Agnes Obel playing a superb show, as well as move along with Bebel Gilberto and her band. We also got to the Giant Street Theatre, were Compagnie Pipotal was doing its usual performance of their show Basculoscopia.

Some Sziget 2012 Day Zero pictures
How's your Sziget 2012? Has it started already or are you just joining the party today? Metal Day was tons of fun, as proved by the thousands of people banging their heads with acts such as Lacuna Coil, Hammerfall, Dimmu Borgir or Moonspell.
