Watch: Lucky Veronika Mikes Just Got a Lifetime Pass to Sziget Festival in Budapest
Organisers of Budapest’s Sziget Festival greeted the event’s 10 millionth visitor on Friday. Veronika Mikes, a 32-year-old Hungarian woman, was given a lifetime pass for the event along with a commemorative flag and T-shirt by organiser Tamás Kádár.

“This is only my second time at Sziget. I came to the festival for the first time a few years ago,” Mikes, who had bought a day ticket to see Imagine Dragons with her sister, told MTI.

Sziget, which is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year, welcomed its 9 millionth visitor, a Swiss secondary school student, in 2018.

Friday’s line-up at the festival featured Imagine Dragons, Easy Life, Carson Coma, and Yungblud, among others.
