Since its first edition in 2007, Heineken Balaton Sound has provided great value for money and comes from the team behind the legendary Sziget Festival, so you can be sure that every single detail is taken care of with all of their experience. It is recognised for having breathtaking stages which are located right next to the glistening open waters of Lake Balaton. Heineken Balaton Sound is always bathed in hot sun so is more than just a festival – it is a unique holiday experience with a world class line up that covers the most interesting aspects of several different electronic genres.
For this reason, it is an epic showcase and supersized event with music lovers from all over Europe making an annual pilgrimage to experience the thrill of the Main Stage, with its vast LED wall; the beauty of the house and techno oriented B My Lake stage and many more intimate stages across the site, all with cutting edge audio-visuals, lights and serious sound systems.
Lake Balaton is a real holiday hotspot, offering the ideal combination of festival and holiday. You can relax in warm and sunny weather by day at the lake, then dance all night long to a diverse selection of the world’s biggest electronic artists in a natural location while there is also the option to take a roadtrip to explore the capital, Budapest. The festival offers superb VIP experiences which provide access to the fast lane and three or four VIP areas with extra services, sanitation, food and drink options.
