As festival-goers can experience firsthand, Sziget Festival stands out from other European festivals in more ways than one.

The diverse festival city is erected for one week from nothing on a beautiful green island in the Danube crossing the Hungarian capital, with the high standard of services, the special “Sziget Feeling” and last but not least, great value for money, which makes this multi-cultural event popular the world over.

The services offered to the artists who will be performing on the main stage are equally unique. Sziget is the only major festival in the world where the backstage of the main stage includes a Michelin-stared restaurant where artists can dine à la carte. Moreover, VIP guests of the festival and accredited journalists can also sample the freshly prepared culinary delights.

It so happens, that the creator and main organiser of the festival decided to venture into the world of gastronomy as a hobby. He decided that if he could organise a world class festival, he would achieve the same heights as a restaurateur. He was so successful that after only a year his restaurant was awarded a Michelin star, firstly and uniquely in Hungary.

This restaurant will be serving the culinary needs of the festival’s stars this summer. So, Muse, Faithless, Iron Maiden, Madness, Kasabian and the other bands can be safe in the knowledge that they are dining at a Michelin-starred restaurant. It’s a good thing they booked in time."
