Let’s start first with bands, that were forced to cancel their appearance this year but will come to play for You in 2017: ELECTRIC WIZARD, NILE and TERROR. While ELECTRIC WIZARD are the best stuff the drug-infused sabbathian doom has to offer, NILE helped to reshape death metal with new themes and energy by the turn of the millenium and TERROR are years proven veterans of the HC scene!

Sziget Festival has reached a new milestone by selling out all of the 7 Days Passes before July. The Island of Freedom will also set a new record in the number of nationalities represented at the event, as presales ticket buyers come from a total of 102 countries. Important hint for late-buyers: day tickets are still available, but make sure you decide quickly!

The Budapest-based major festival has attracted a growing number of visitors for the last years and – in spite of an increased capacity – has already sold all 5 Days and 7 Days Passes for the 2016 edition. All Sziget passes include camping possibility, so the organizers also wanted to make sure Szitizens staying onsite can find enough places for their tents.

‘2016 is clearly a record-breaking year for us...
