The first edition of the festival goes back to 2003. Organised by some members of the team of Sziget Festival, Peninsula (in Romanian) or Félsziget (in Hungarian) has grown steadely in terms of audience (from 20,000 in 2003 to 60,000 in 2009) as in the number, the variety and the quality of the bands: at the first edition there were only Hungarian and Romanian bands, while today there are bands from all over the world.[1]
Peninsula / Félsziget is an eclectic festival, with stages for different musical styles: rock, metal, pop, electro, world music, folk, hip-hop, blues and jazz. Today, the festival gathers yearly some 10 to 15 great bands and some 40 to 70 bands coming from most of the Central and Eastern European countries as well, bands which are more or less known outside their countries' borders.
Besides, the festival features a number of other activities: about 30 sports (football, table tennis, badminton, beachvolley, chess, sumo, paintball, archery, zip-line, kayaking, swimming etc.) including some extreme sport facilities (bungee jumping, climbing etc.), movie projections in partnership with the Transilvania International Film Festival, theatre shows, stand-up comedy shows, graffiti contests and other creative activities, ecological workshops, volunteering workshops and training etc.
All these make Peninsula/Félsziget one of Romania's largest music festivals.
