Step into The Buzz, where music knows no borders. A stage that celebrates the thrill of discovery, from rising stars to music of the world. Whether it’s indie gems, electrifying live bands, or a deep dive into world music, The Buzz is where genres blur, cultures connect, and the next big thing is just a performance away.

From afternoon heat to late-night madness, this is where global hip-hop energy collides with bass-heavy nights. Expect beatbox battles, dance circles, DJs and MCs lighting up the stage — late-night drum & bass, dubstep, dancehall, reggaeton, Latin beats & more.

BREAKDANCE AT THE CYPHER

The Cypher is Sziget’s dedicated space at Szoho for breaking and freestyle dance, bringing top international dancers, intense battles, and dynamic showcases. Evolving from its roots in the DropYard, it offers everything from high-energy performances to Break Yoga sessions in the mornings. Whether you’re dancing or just watching, The Cypher is where movement takes center stage.
Together with Cypher Town (a Budapest based hip hop association) we’re spreading the value of hip hop this year too.
