Their subculture, with its edge of anger and bittersweet resignation, remains an important influence on alternative bands. Contemporary chart artists are a dismaying bunch, and Eurocheese of all flavours sells by the bucketload. Republic do tolerable stadium pop, and rap duo Animal Cannibals can amuse. Budapest's club circuit has some promisingly individual acts, such as the goofily alternative Publo Hunny or the darkly cheerful Quimby. Seven days of cheap drinks, dust and mayhem, it's a prime annual get-together for Hungarians and travellers.
Tickets are cheap, and visitors can camp on the island for the full festival experience.
