With 452,000 festival-goers from 100 different countries, the Sziget Festival was once again the event of the summer. For its25th anniversary, no less than 300 artists on 50 stages will have paraded on the island of freedom in Budapest from 9 to 16 August. Back on this moment of collective madness in photos.
Every year in August, a horde of festival-goers from all over the world flock to the banks of the Danube in Budapest, Hungary. The reason? The Sziget Festival, the largest festival in Europe in the genre. This year, for its25th anniversary, the event welcomed international stars such as Pink, Kasabian, Major Lazer, Macklemore, Alt-J but also hundreds of concerts, animations and artistic performances all as insane and surprising as this festival. JustFocus was there and brings you back to life the festival with a small selection of photos.
