This year's festival will feature almost 100 acts representing a broad range of musical styles, including jazz, electronic and folk. In addition to Hungarian favourites such as Sub Bass Monster, Kispál és a Borz, Kistehén Tánczenekar and Besh o droM, many foreign acts, from Australia, the Czech Republic, France, Mexico, and the United States, will perform at the festival.

 
The festival is operating with a HUF 27 million-28 million budget this year, with the City of Veszprém covering HUF 9 million and sponsors and central budget funding making up the rest. To raise money for the event, the organisers are selling a commemorative scarf and a CD with tracks by some of the performers at the festival for just HUF 1,000.
 
Last year's Street Music Festival attracted 80,000-100,000 visitors.
