Volt Festival

The event, which is organised by the same people responsible for the Sziget Festival in Budapest, attracted 6,000 foreign visitors, a steep increase over previous years. Most came from Austria, but their were many more visitors from Germany, the Netherlands and Slovakia as well.

 
The weather was ideal - for the first time in the festival's history it neither rained nor was overcast.
 
The festival operated with a budget of about HUF 500 million and earned some HUF 70 million, according to preliminary estimates by its organisers.
