Waterpipes : I think waterpipe themed panoramas will have to have their dedicated category soon, we have shot so many of these over the years. Then again, they are seemingly becoming as much of a staple for visitors as palinka. On the upside, after the pipe, you can still drive home.

Muzsikas : Muzsikas has been a quintessential apostle of Hungarian folk music all over the world for thirty-five years.

Jimi Hendrix Memorial Band : Jimi Hendrix Memorial Band performing at the Blues Bar during Sziget Festival 2009.

Calexico : From casadecalexico.com:
Fans of Calexico have already come to expect the unexpected from Tucson, Arizona residents Joey Burns and John Convertino. Each of their albums, from their dusty, lo-fi debut Spoke (1996) to the noir-infused dramatic power of The Black Light (1998), the breakthrough, mariachi madness of Hot Rail (2000), to their hugely successful most recent album, Feast of Wire (2003), which flirted with ambient electronica and Gil Evans infused jazz, charting in 14 European countries. » more

View From The Sherpa Tower : Bird's eye view from the highest point (Sherpa Adventure Castle Tower) on the Festival island.

Hanging on by a thread : a Stunt Panorama : Sanyi, one of our photographers is also a stuntman. We have been shooting aerial panoramas of Sziget Festival for some years using kites and poles, but this is the first time one of us actually hung themselves upside down at twenty meters, in order to take a series of aerial phoographs with the precision required to assemble thos into a seemless panoramic image. Behold the result - a stunning overview of what constitutes pretty much the geographic center of Sziget Festival 2009.

Hungaricum (Stilts) : While there have been exhibits dealing with Hungarian ethnic art and folklore during Sziget Festivals past, none as fun and interactive as this year's Hungaricum Village. Beautifully built country house facades complete with real sunflowers and demonstrations of Hungarian country life which you can wear, taste and play along with.

Electronic Arts Tent : In addition to the 60+ cultural venues provided by Sziget Festival, there are countless sponsor spots offering entertainment of every flavor. While the stages are still dark, these sponsor spots are hopping with the more than 50,000 people who have showed up on theIsland on the day of Iron Maiden's pre-festival concert.
