    I would kill to go to the Sziget Festival, I only heard of it a few months ago, but I was totally amazed and stayed up all night researching the festival. Unfortunately I don't think it's possible for me to go next year, as none of my friends are to keen on the idea of going to Hungary for a week long festival, but going to this festival is definitely really high on my bucket list!

    When it comes to music, the two differ a lot. Primavera Sound has a great alternative line-up, while Sziget is more mainstream. I think it's a matter of personal taste which festival has the better line-up. For me it was Sziget this year, for others it will be Primavera Sound.

    But for me line-up is not the only thing that's important about a festival. In terms of location the festivals score equal points, both Barcelona and Budapest are fantastic cities, but Sziget scores much better when it comes to the vibe and things to do besides watching concerts. I was very disappointed about that when visiting Primavera Sound this year.

    I'm gonna say Sziget is infinitely better than Primavera, only because I secretly love Primavera and dont want too many going :D

    Was in Sziget in '09, really enjoyed it. Stayed for a week and a half in an apartment in town, the festival site is monstruous. Wasn't too gone on the lineup (as someone else said it's quite mainstream) but glad I went nonetheless. Budapest is a wonderful city

    I've heard it's supposed to be very good. Trying to decide to go or not and just wondering about this whole drinks scenario? I saw that you can't bring in any but how much does it cost in there? how much would you spend per day etc?

    I had a mate that was at the 2009 edition as well, he said it was amazing. Fluuute are you a member of Efestivals forums, there is a Sziget thread there of about 30 pages for the 2015 edition, register up and get posting there too. http://www.efestivals.co.uk/forums/topic/188694-sziget-2015/

    I'm late but the prices of drink is cheaper than most Irish pubs. I was getting a JD and Coke for less than €4. It was that new honey flavour one as well.

    You can get a very large slice of pizza for less than €2. There is a wide selection of food.

    It's all loaded onto a festival card as well (like an Oyster card) so no need for cash.

    Myself and 5 other fine Irish folk are heading over for the week via Prague. Look out for a massive Irish flag being waved amuck around the place for the whole week. Representin'.
