I was lucky to see the Sziget festival in Budapest for the first time and was totally amazed. For everyone who wants to experience a proper old-fashioned pop/rock festival in every possible sense – Sziget is your place to go. Endless days and nights of good quality music, a totally wild and crazy audience with human pyramids and crowd surfing and the best festival security I’ve ever seen. The line up for Saturday (and looks that for the other days as well) was extremely good. It was an honour for Mika to be a headliner and he seemed to enjoy it. 

It took only a couple of songs from the audience to totally warm up for the Mika show. I knew it would happen, the Sziget audience was a fantastic element for a great gig and he did one of his best festival performances. He added some very suitable extra details like an exciting dance ending for Origin and a fierce Make You Happy part before sitting in front of the piano for Happy Ending and I loved them both. Emily/EMD was more relaxed and energetic than last time I saw it, very much liked it and Live Your Life as well for the same reason. Underwater was simply super powerful. I loved the show and felt lucky to be there and was happy I decided to include Sziget in my plans.
