Beyond words. This place is full of FUN! There are over 20 stages for live concerts throughout the entire island in Budapest. Mainly live concerts running concurrently by popular bands and groups! This is a yearly event since 1993, and finally this year I get to experienced being here personally. These guys were really great sport (they posed for me;) so spontaneously) click on this photo to link to my Flickr and you’ll see lots of photos about SZIGET FESTIVAL. On the Main Stage, Manu Chao which is a french group, rocked the entire sziget (sziget also means island) until there were two ‘bursts’ of black out! You can imagine how crowded it was >>I was almost ”crushed” being at the front of the stage where their fans were (lots of French were there too). And since I am so small (Asian) where all the other guys and ladies were mostly Europeans/Americans….but still it was totally FUN!
Here’s video of the Japanese group called Gocoo which I took on Day ONE of the Sziget.
Isn’t MANU CHAO amazing?! He has a new disc out Sept. 4th called “La Radiolina” and you can already hear the EP “rainin’ in Paradise” on his myspace

I looked at your many Flickr photos and they do illustrate the popularity of the event. Looks like fun. Like the photos of tent city.
Manu is really great! I loved his music and the concert was really super!
hmmm looks like i have to google Manu to find out about them ;-)
It does look like a very enjoyable event!
This is a great candid shot of people out at a concert!
Hmm.
The Wan2 stage had the press and photographers in between the stage and the audience… you know, behind the fence :-P
You didn’t have a pass for the main stage?
Uh. Careful not to get crushed!
…
( btw what’s worse for the camera?
[ ] Dust
[ ] Mud
Mine is so cheap/small ( or *cute* as I like to call it, Canon btw ) it probably doesn’t mind either… )
Aren’t you concerned about your camera being with you at the SZIGET? Just two days ago, the guy who came in to Medusa to make some shots of the DJs backstage crashed with his scooter right in front of us because of the mud. Both him and the equipment was OK and w/o a scratch. Hmm.
( I should post that few photos of the SZIGET i made, nothing of this quality though :-P )
