BUDAPEST: Hungary's Sziget, which organises some of the largest music festivals in Europe, said on Th that information technology had cancelled this summer's main event in Budapest and would instead brand a "grand comeback" in 2022.
The Sziget Festival routinely draws several hundred grand visitors to an island in the River Danube in the Hungarian majuscule, with the Foo Fighters, Ed Sheeran, Mail Malone and Macklemore among the star guests at the last festival in August 2019.
The company said the pandemic-related uncertainties over travel, accommodation and also the use of vaccination cards domestically and internationally have forced them to rethink this summer'south festival plans.
"With sadness in our middle simply knowing our responsibility, seeing all the uncertainty around ... we have fabricated a decision to ready for next yr'due south Sziget festival instead," said Tamas Kadar, lead organiser of Sziget, in a statement.
The festivals staged by the visitor, in which U.S.-based private equity firm Providence Equity Partners bought a 70 percent stake in 2017, have been a huge tourist draw to Republic of hungary, where the tourism industry accounts for more than than a tenth of economical output.
