I see Placebo announced a festival in July. So they'll be announced for Sziget sooner rather than later.

I know there not everyones cup of tea and a bit dated lately, I would be a happy boy though.

One of my faves.

Would they still headline?

[Uncle Liam]

Nah same slot as last time. 

[Chris Lfc]

Still waiting for the first announcement! My patience is running out!

[Diocane]

Frequency, Zurich Open air, Electric Castle had announcements. Those are all festivals we use to share acts with.

Artists they announced today:

Mumford & sons

Major Lazer (I think they'll do end show)

The Prodigy

Moderat (seems like they're doing every july/august festival, I want so bad to see them)

Kygo (not headliner please)

Alt J

Rise against

Billy talent

Nero

Noisia

Ame live

Dixon

A trak

etc

 

Nothing special, only Moderat for me, but I think Sziget could have 1 or 2 good unexpected acts

Kygo was announced yesterday by Balaton Sound, so he won't be at Sziget

You forgot about White Lies, they're very good! Moderat would be my pick as well!

I wouldn't mind a return from The Prodigy tbh if they have a good sub. Also, PLEASE DIXON!

[Diocane]

I really hope is Justice as electronic live act instead of prodigy. Doubt we'll get both. Sorry, I'm not really into White lies so I forgot them.

No worry!

I see Justice as a A38 headliner.. am I underestimating them? A38, 23h45 like M83 this year.

 

[Supernintendo Chalmers]

Prodigy, Nero, A-Trak, Billy Talent, Noisia and Major Lazer would be very welcome. As would a flipping announcement!

[Diocane]

I see Justice as main stage headliners. Moderat as a38 headliners (now that bloody beetroots have been booked by balaton).

Moderat, Nero, Noisia, Netsky, Flume, A trak,..... could be an incredible a38 lineup.

Moderat, Netsky and Flume are my top pick for A38  any track from A trak you'd recomend?

[Diocane]

@Noeliam: he is known for some remixes (such as Heads Will Roll) but he is mostly dj than producer, actually I think he is one of the best in the world when it comes to mix and scratch.

[Uncle Liam]

Not the Prodigy again!

Justice YES

 

[Uncle Liam]

You know who should be a headliner? Jean Michel Jarre. 

If Manu Chao can be a headliner, then Jarre easily can, especially with the larger number of French there.

We got our Sziget packs today. The T shirts are loads nicer than last year, as are the other bits and pieces. I mean - Sziget socks!  

It was great to get it and start to feel excited for next year!

No announcements in it though!

A pack just arrived for my son. Tempted to bag myself a new pair of socks

Getting a bit impatient for a little announcement.. 

 

I am thinking the next week or so, with the early birds due to finish.

Or perhaps that is just a bit of wishful thinking..

According to the Hungarian website the first names will arrive on next Thursday: http://sziget.hu/fesztival/programok2017

Can't imagine this not being for Sziget.

[Diocane]

Monday is not really a day for Sziget anouncements. Plus: what's up with the 15 december announcement then?

Correct.  Green day playing Budapest in June. 

[Noeliam]

Yup!

Tomorrow VOLT names.

Thursday Sziget names.

 

And hopefully the 25th we wake up with 25 more names!

[thetime]

What do you think we will get Thursday? Headliner, then a mix of bands? Just a headliner or just small sized acts?

 

This wet dreary december has got me dreaming of August....

No Imagine Dragons, Ellie Goulding & Martin Garrix, announced just now for VOLT.

Good

My prediction would be:

Mumfords and Lads
White Lies
Moderat
Rise Against
Glass Animals
