Sziget Festival Heating Up Hungary August 12-18

Tons o' stages featuring music from mainstream to madness starts August 12 when Budapest's Hajógyár Kikötö (Shipyard) on the Danube River's Óbudai Island becomes its own tent city for the Sziget Festival, Hungary's massive musical blast kicking off with Lauren Harris and Iron Maiden on "Zero Day" followed by five days of bands you'll want to see and fun you'll want to have. Drop by for the event of the European summer -- and 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):
