When is Sziget Festival 2027?
The Sziget Festival 2027 runs from Tuesday, 10 August, to Saturday, 14 August 2027; five days of music, art and culture on Budapest's famous river island. The date is officially confirmed, and the nightly program traditionally continues into the early hours of the following morning.
Where does Sziget Festival take place in Budapest?
Since 1993, the festival has been held on Hajógyári sziget (also known as Óbuda Island or Shipyard Island), a Danube island in the northern Budapest district of Óbuda. More than 50 stages are spread across the site, drawing around 500,000 visitors each year. At Sziget 2026, nearly half the crowd came from abroad, with the largest international groups traveling from the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Austria, Germany and Slovakia.
