Innovation: Sziget Festival introduces cheaper, night-only pass for 2025!
Sziget Festival is taking a fresh approach in 2025 with the launch of a new evening-focused ticket option called the “Night Pass by Revolut.” Priced at HUF 21,900 (EUR 55), about 35% cheaper than a full-day ticket, it offers festivalgoers a more accessible way to experience the event. This new option targets those drawn by Sziget’s vibrant nightlife, giving access from 11:00 PM until dawn, with an extensive lineup of top-tier music and programs. It caters to visitors who may not be interested in daytime concerts or simply want to soak in the festival atmosphere for just one evening.
One of this year’s standout innovations is the completely reimagined Delta District, aimed specifically at fans of electronic music. According to Index, the district features three distinct venues: the iconic Yettel Colosseum, the newly upgraded BOLT Night Stage, and a brand-new clubbing experience, The Club. This trio transforms the night into a global showcase of electronic music—from Dutch trance giants to underground techno stars. Its visuals, lighting, and soundscape aim not only to replace the Balaton Sound experience in 2025 but also to surpass it.
New nightlife experiences at Sziget
After the Main Stage closes, the Sziget continues to go full throttle. Over a dozen venues shift into nighttime mode, creating an experience akin to a new mini-festival each evening. Beyond the Delta District, stages like the Revolut Stage, dropYard, Light Stage, Jukebox by Havana Club, and the Beach keep the party alive until morning.
The lineup is diverse, catering to fans of mainstream EDM as well as those who prefer alternative or experimental sounds. Headliners, including global superstars, renowned DJs, and emerging talent, typically begin their sets around midnight, ensuring Night Pass holders won’t miss a thing. Local acts also feature prominently in evening slots, offering plenty for fans of Hungarian music.
But Sziget nights are about more than just beats and lights—they’re filled with humour and artistry. According to Blikk, the Hungarian-Spanish Duo Gancho cruises through the festival in a vintage car, entertaining crowds with juggling, acrobatics, and theatrical antics. Their performance, the AcroMobil Show, is interactive, lighthearted, and bound to become a fan favourite.
Festival-goers can also encounter dancers from Oakleaf, who celebrate nature with colourful costumes and cumbia rhythms evoking ‘Flower Power’ vibes. A stunning bubble show will float enormous soap bubbles above the audience, capturing Sziget’s whimsical, childlike spirit.
But music and spectacle are only part of the story. As night falls, Sziget becomes a sensory feast of visual and performance art. The Spanish troupe Sylphes delivers a breathtaking aerial ballet set to Vivaldi’s music, performed 30 meters above ground and blending elements of classical ballet with synchronised swimming. It’s a must-see for anyone looking to experience something truly different beyond the dance floor.
Sziget’s iconic Street Theatre is also making a comeback with exciting new acts. Expect giant puppets, fireworks-enhanced performances, dazzling installations, and interactive parades. Spain’s Troula Theatre fuses pyrotechnics and drama, while the GENOA collective redefines space with a massive sail-based kinetic installation.
The birth of a new festival experience
The Sziget Festival’s new Night Pass is more than a discounted ticket: it reflects a shift in philosophy. Perfect for those overwhelmed by daytime events or simply interested in one spirited evening, the Night Pass delivers the same electrifying atmosphere and world-class performances as a full-day pass, but in a more concentrated and affordable format. With this innovation, Sziget sends a clear message: the festival isn’t just a vibrant daytime event; it’s an immersive nighttime universe offering music, art, community, and visual enchantment for those who come alive after dark.
