Hello All,

I know there's a lot of you who all might know stg about this festival (at last that this year The Gathering will also play there :wink: ) but for those who don't know about it or just looking for stg to do in the summer, I can recommand it!!!
I just write this because I also wanna go this year too AND our fav band will also play there AND why not to organize some fan meeting if any of you are coming or decide to come after getting the infos :wink:

Sziget ("island") Festival is a one - week long music festival with more than 15 stages, tents and small stages, with 0- 24h music (live music is til about 04:00 every day on several stages of ALL kinds of music) It takes place on a big island on river Danube, not outside the city, but in a very nice and quiet area (not counting with this week of constant noise :D ), with public traffic you can reach the city in 30-40 minutes but to be in Budapest you only have to walk out of the island or get a ship to the city (it's unf not free but its nice 8) )

Date of the fest: 9-16th August 2006 (TG plays on 15th, the final day, 16th is the last down parties then you have to leave the island because it's over...waking-packing-leaving)
