They are preparing for this year’s Island with Kylie Minogue, cheaper meals and a more organized outing

Australian singer Kylie Minogue will perform on Sziget on Wednesday, the organizers announced this at the festival’s press conference today. Where, among other things, they also said that so far Hungarians have bought the most early bird passes for the festival that runs from August 7 to 12. It was already announced that, among others, Skrillex, Four Tet, Liam Gallagher and Azahriah, who recently unexpectedly appeared with a new LP, will perform at this year’s festival.

At the press conference, it was said that last year there was a lot of negative feedback about the food prices and budget-friendly food, which the festival introduced last year under the name of budget food. This year, the goal is to be able to cover the entire spectrum with food in exchange for the lowest price, not just fries with sauce, or other minimalist solutions that we encountered in 2023.

The goal is to make food cheaper compared to last year’s prices, while drink prices will remain at the 2023 level.

In addition, they revealed that Revolut will be the title sponsor of the big tent, and that shuttle buses will be run to Margit Bridge every day after the last main stage performer. There will also be digital signs where festival-goers will be able to find out how long it takes to get out of the event or queue for taxis. On days with a larger audience, the road to the H-bridge can also be opened for pedestrians. By the way, there will also be a new taxi rank here, and the number of night boat trips will also increase. It is also an innovation that the auditorium in front of the main stage is transformed, the very large area is divided into two smaller areas so that you can see better from the back.

In addition, the very suggestive information was also told that Skrillex, Fred Again and Four Tet directly asked to perform on the Island one day. This is also exciting because there are three performers who are big stars in their respective fields, who often collaborate and perform together. Although there is no official announcement about it, it is strongly in the cards that they can prepare for a joint production on the Island this year. We wrote about Four Tet’s new album in more detail here.
