I think i'll be going to Sziget this year as it looks like i'll have a great time no matter what the lineup is.

For people who have been to Sziget before and also to a few other european festivals; if you took the lineup out of the festival would you say that Sziget has the most going for it? Or have you been to another festival with more going on/better atmosphere?

What do people make of the festival being moved back a week? It now clashes with the two main festivals in Holland, Lowlands and Pukklepop. Seems a strange decision as their main audience outside of Hungary is the Dutch. They said that by moving the festival back a week the lineup will be better due to bands being at other festivals around the world during the previous week. I guess they must be fairly sure that the lineup will be improved next year to compensate for this.

I have been to Sziget. I have also been to Hurricane in germany and Benicassim and I would say both had a far better atmosphere than Sziget.

they have so much quirky, nice little touches there. the setting is really cool but it is pretty expensive ( apart from the local beer whiuch is rank and is the only cheap drink there) and the place is just a bit dull.

most people there are dutch and whilst we had a great time with a cool group, the atmosphere wasn't as friendly and party-like as beni was.

Budapest is awesome though and if you go to sziget i recommend staying in budapest for a few days and going to the spa party .... WOW!

But unfortunately, after we left budapest to head to sziget, whilst we had a good time at , it wasn't what we expected and we preffereed the city.

Pearl Jam and Queens Of The Stone Age would be welcome! Not sure whether Sziget will be that rock orientated this year or whether they're going to move more towards the dance side of things seen this year with Guetta and the like. Hopefully they have a good rock offering.

I would love the Depeche Mode rumour to be true, but I'm not holding my breath.

Arcade Fire would be good, Arctic Monkeys and Metallica will be everywhere next year so they could crop up.

I think they will have at least one big dance act though... Calvin Harris? Avicii?

I have a nasty feeling that Sziget is trying to become more of a dance orientated festival, although I, personally, would love to see more rock in the line up! My gut feeling is that the first headliner announced will be something along the lines of Arctic Monkeys or maybe Kasabian.

Arcade Fire are in the US at the time of Sziget.

I actually think Pearl Jam is a good shout. Not that I would be particularly bothered.

Main stage will primarily be rock/indie orientated. As will the A-38 during the day pre 2300 hours.

I'd take Kasabian over a completely dance orientated line up - but then I wouldn't go out of my way to experience either.

I've been to Sziget for 5 years in a row and last year I went to Pukkelpop too. Sziget is so much better. Better place, better weather, better atmosphere, better services, cleaner toilets, cheaper prices and more multiethnic audience. What I spent for a week @ Sziget for drinkin and eatin was just the same that I spent for 3 days @ Pukkelpop. ;) (ex. a 0,5l beer at Sziget costs 2,1€ while a 0,25 beer at Pukkelpop 5€)

    • Yes I'm also glad to see more experimental leftfield artists on the line up  Best line up in years 
    • Also Elefant to the Buzz.
    • I've heard him mention Deftones and Biffy as holy grail bookings in the past.   I think given Simon is back again suggests he enjoyed himself last year, not sure if they all still live in the UK so don't know if they'd match the flight thing
    • I refuse to queue for it - usually take an aeropress and some way of heating water but this year I'll be pre making a few bottles of coldbrew and having an iced coffee every morning (if we can get hold of ice, otherwise it'll be a lukewarm coffee) 
    • Himalayan salt lamps are decoration lighting that you may purchase for your house. They are made of pink Himalayan salt and are believed to offer a variety of health advantages. In reality, advocates of salt lamps believe that they can purify the air in your home, relieve allergies, improve your mood, and help you sleep.   Some people claim that Himalayan salt lamps can improve air quality, boost mood, and aid with sleep. However, there is little evidence to support these claimed health benefits.     What Are The Salt Lamps, And Why Are They Used?   Himalayan salt lamps are created by inserting a light bulb into huge chunks of pink Himalayan salt. True Himalayan salt lamps are created from salt collected from Pakistan's Khewra Salt Mine. Salt from this area is thought to be millions of years old, and while it looks quite similar to table salt, the tiny amounts of minerals it contains give it a pinkish hue. Many individuals purchase Himalayan salt lamps because they like the way they look and the peace that the pink light provides in their homes. Meanwhile, some are drawn to their potential health benefits.   How Do Pink Himalayan Salt Lamps Work?   Salt lamps are thought to have health benefits because they are "natural ionizers," which means they change the electrically charged particles of the flowing air. Ions are compounds with an uneven number of protons or electrons, which gives them a charge. They are naturally formed in the air as a result of atmospheric changes. Streams, storms, waves, natural radiation, and heat all generate air ions. They can also be generated artificially using commercially available air ionizers. It is thought that Himalayan salt lamps produce ions by attracting water particles, which evaporate as a salt solution when heated by the lamp, resulting in mainly negative ions. However, this theory is yet to be verified.   Related Topic: Is Pink Salt Better Than Normal Salt? How To Buy Pink Salt In Canada? 8 Benefits Of Pink Himalayan Salt      What Are The Health Claims, And How Do They Measure Up? They enhance the air purity   They are promoted as helpful for persons suffering from allergies, asthma, or respiratory disorders such as cystic fibrosis. There is presently no proof that using a Himalayan salt lamp can eliminate harmful bacteria and enhance indoor air quality. The argument that they are beneficial to persons with respiratory issues may be based on the ancient technique of halotherapy. According to this therapy, persons with chronic respiratory diseases are helped by spending time in saltwater caves since salt is present in the air. Some researchers have found that this approach may be beneficial to specific respiratory disorders, but further high-quality studies are still needed.   Eases Coughing As you are aware, the benefits listed in the previous section highlight the distinct characteristics of Himalayan salt lamps. When these lamps heat up, they emit negative ions that offset the positive ions in our surroundings, resulting in cleaner air quality. This process increases cilial activity in our airways, which aids in the removal substances from the lungs. In essence, Himalayan salt lamps act as natural air filters, promoting general health.   In a nutshell, Himalayan pink salt lamps not only remove impurities from the air but also assist your body filter air more efficiently, making sure any foreign particles you inhale do not enter your lungs.   They can help you sleep   There have been no studies looking into the impact of Himalayan salt lamps on sleep. However, a 2013 study examining the effects of air ionization on relaxation and sleep found no evidence of a positive effect. Thus, even if salt lamps have an effect on the air environment, it is unknown whether this will change sleep patterns. If you replace strong electric lights with a Himalayan salt lamp, the dark light could help encourage weakness near the end of the day. This is because being exposed to bright light before bedtime can cause the sleep hormone melatonin to be produced later.   SUMMARY: Himalayan salt lamps are said to improve air quality, elevate mood, and aid in sleep. However, there is right now insufficient evidence to support these statements.     Do Pink Salt Lamps Provide Any Benefits?   Although some of its health claims have not been verified by science, Himalayan salt lamps may provide additional benefits. This includes: They are attractive: If you like how they look, they could be a good addition to your home. They help to create a soothing atmosphere that allows you to unwind. They may help minimize light in the evening: If you have trouble sleeping, utilizing dim lights in the evening may help you fall asleep more quickly.     Further Ways to Purify Your Home Air   Himalayan pink salt lamps are not the only technique to improve your home's air quality. Pair them with air purifying houseplants or any of these other easy but incredible ways to naturally filter the air in your home, helping you and your family to breathe the healthiest, cleanest air imaginable!     Read More...
