152.000 PEOPLE ARRIVED AT THE 26. TELEKOM VOLT FESTIVAL IN SOPRON 2018

---

One of Hungary’s most important touristic events, the 26. Telekom VOLT Festival ended at dawn on Sunday with 152.000 people arrived to Sopron, for the five-day program.

It was impossible to find accommodation in Sopron and its surrounding areas, including nearby villages in Austria, during the Telekom VOLT Festival. This year’s festival was characterized by a variety of eclectic music. Perhaps this is the reason why a lot more people purchased day tickets than in previous years. „For Thursday’s program featuring Iron Maiden, tickets sold out weeks earlier, with 40,000 people attending this concert at VOLT. The Depeche Mode concert on opening night was also nearly full house, and so was the closing night on Saturday. Nearly 152,000 people attended over the five days of the 26. Telekom VOLT Festival.“ said Lobenwein Norbert, the festival’s Founder and Chief Organizer.

„There were almost 500 programs at this year’s VOLT. In addition to the wide variety of programs offered, it is also worth mentioning that from now on VOLT will take on an important message each year, which was autism this year. Altogether 30,000 guests supported the ‚Út a Mosolyért Alapítvány‘ (Road to Smiles Foundation),“ added Zoltán Fülöp, VOLT’s other Founder.

The next Telekom VOLT Festival will take place between June 26-29, 2019.
