Hot Band : Hot Band (a James Brown tribute band) performing live at the Retro Pop Tent at Sziget Festival 2008

Windy Performance : On the evening of day 3, a rather gusty wind gave a welcome breath of air from the day-time heat, but it also caused some performances to be cancelled. At the Cokxpon Ambient Tent, this performanc actually combined rather well with the wind, though the projected backdrops turned out a bit more "dynamic" than intended.

Hangmas : 'Since its formation in 2002, Budapest's Hangmas Zenekar has emerged as one of the more colorful elements of the Hungarian underground scene. With its distinctive atmosphere and unique sound, one might find it rather difficult to place the band in any specific genre . . . '

Above the crowd for Pendulum : Pendulum was supposed to play at last year's festival, but they had to cancel last-minute because of a fatal accident while transporting their gear. This year they made up for it, opening for The Prodigy. They dedicated their performance to the person who did not make it out of that accident.

I thoroughly enjoyed being in the back of the crowd, and I was clearly not the only one; it felt as if the whole island was drawn to the main stage area, leaving bars and other stages all but empty. They sure set the bar high for Prodigy to follow them up.

Day 6 - Laying down (with) some cards :
