(photo:Leningrad Cowboys-Pepsi Island 2001)Have you thought that the biggest music festival located in Budapest every summer? It's called the PEPSI ISLAND! (former name: Student Island) The island festival located in an island (Óbudai sziget) of the Danube.The first island was organised in 1993.I've been there in '95, '96, '97 and 2001.Some concerts I've seen:Clawfinger,Peter Hamill,Levellers,Slash,Faith No More,Iggy Pop,The Prodigy,Stone Roses,Therapy?.Last year:Guano Apes,Placebo,Morcheeba,Faithless etc.There were more than 400.000 visitors in 2001 during the week and about 35% was foreigner.You'll find all kind of music from techno to death-metal.There are more than 1000 events from sports to theatre performances.This year,2002 the festival will be in the beginning of August (31 July-7 August).I don't know the bands, but it seems that Die Toten Hosen and The Gathering will surely come!I think a day ticket will be approx. 3000 HUF and a week ticket about 15000 HUF. It's free for so many concerts and other programmes.
