Richard Ashcroft @ Sziget Festival, 8 August

• 23 Jul 2019 11:13 AM

Richard Ash Croft needs no introduction! An Indie legend and a major part of ‘Britpop', which shook up the music world in the 90’s.

He is considered by many to be the greatest songwriter of his era, and with songs like ‘Sonnet’, ‘Drugs Don't Work’ and ‘Lucky Man’ its easy to see why. I was fortune enough to see him at the Exeter, small venue for such an iconic artist.

Thursday, 8 August, 7:45 pm 

Tickets: 
Daily: HUF 23,500

Venue: 
Sziget Festival
1033 Budapest, Óbudai-sziget
