Take a chance on...

Tom Waits and Leonard Cohen Evening (DJ)
SMs Cafe [map], free
Lots and lots of songs by two of the finest living songwriters. They won't be there, by the way. Imagine having to listen to your own songs all night.


Bánkitó Festival
Bánk, [map] [directions], from 10am
No, nothing to do with with Banksy, although the artwork might make you think otherwise. It's not actually in Budapest, it's in a place called Bánk, pronounced 'bank'. It's not in a bank. The Bánkitó Festival, is steeped in smaller festival cool and is a good warm-up for Sziget.

Géniusz (Concert)

Zöld Pardon [map], 20:00
Géniusz are pretty standard guitar bothering types, but not at all bad and if it is a nice evening you will at least be outside with a bit of entertainment. Website here.
