Sziget Festival Next Europe Summer Concert

Thursday August 2, 2007
Over five days starting August 8, acts like the Beatsteaks and way fun gypsy punks Gogol Bordello will highlight Hungary's Sziget Festival, a ginormo Budapest blast with a ton o' stages featuring music from mainstream to "HammerWorld." Jazz makes an appearance and the MTV Theater provides entertainment, while the Roma Tent hosts "underground electric music called Meduza (Jellyfish)." Yeah, huh. $155 festival tickets include a week's camping at Obudai Island amid at least 50,000 folks. Start wearing purple.

Europe's big summer concerts are winding down, but you can see what you won't want to miss next year (and Notting Hill's huge carnival is still on tap for August's end):
