Here’s our pick of just seven , have a look, book your hostel, and get your festival-lovin’ ass in a plane, train, or automobile!

 

 



 

Sziget Festival, Budapest, Hungary, 9th- 16th August


As if you needed another reason to visit wonderful Budapest, Sziget has become a damn good one. This year sees Kasabian, Wiz Khalifa, and Macklemore top the billing among many more high-profile acts, so if you do find yourself in Budapest over the next week or so, find yourself a ticket to the island of freedom!
