00:00 The 2023 SIGED Festival in the Hungarian capital Budapest closed with a performance by one
00:06 of the biggest pop stars of our time. Billie Eilish sold out the house on Tuesday and in
00:12 the hours before the concert, people who`d been partying for six days tried to get their
00:17 act together.
00:18 So, we are very, very tired. Our feet hurt a lot, actually, but we enjoy it so, so much
00:24 that we obviously stayed until the end. We`re very excited to see your favorite artists.
00:29 Avtali from Israel also gave us tips on how to cope with the constant partying.
00:36 A lot of energy drinks, a lot of cafe, like every morning, every afternoon, you know,
00:41 all the time. And just party hard, like search for the craziest parties and go into them
00:46 and just like be with the music and feel good.
00:52 In the evening, more than 50,000 people gathered for Billie Eilish`s concert. The 21-year-old
00:59 has already won seven Grammy Awards.
01:10 The next morning, the last of the islanders headed home. 420,000 people partied on SIGED
01:15 this year, 30,000 less than in 2022. And on Thursday, tickets go on sale for the next
01:22 festival, which gets underway on the 7th of August, 2024.
01:26 Although the island is now coming to an end, and the tens of thousands of foreigners who
01:32 came here are going home, the organizers` work is not stopping. The site must be put in order
01:36 inside, and the backstage team is already working on the preparation of the next year`s festival.
