Blink-182 among big Sziget additions

US pop-punk titans Blink 182 are the latest big names to be added to this year's Sziget bill. Cee Lo Green and Jimmy Eat World will also play the eight-dayer, along with Casper, A Day To Remember and Fedde Le Grand. You can catch Blink headlining Day 1.
Taking place on the leafy Óbudai­sziget – "The Island Of Freedom" – in the middle of the Danube, the Hungarian festival has long been a festival discerning Irish fans flock to for something a little different. With an ambience that has been described as "dream­like", it combines peace and love vibes with fantastic organisation. Aside from the likes of music, there are countless exhibitions, theatre events... even a circus. The drink is cheap (get a szigetkartya for your boozy needs), there's a massive shopping centre nearby – a direct flight from Dublin to Budapest and you're there.

It all takes place August 11 – 18. For the full line-up, further details and tickets, head to [link]www.szigetfestival.com[/link].
