Day tickets selling well (okay, four days are).

I really thought that Arctic Monkeys would have their new album out by now. As much as I love them, I don't fancy listening to half-a-dozen songs I've never heard before at Sziget.
-
If this is correct it's going to be crazy busy. And I thought the line-up was only average this year too. Give the kids what they want and they will come it seems.
EDIT: Just re-read and it's 96% of the 6 day passes, not all passes as I'd assumed from the graphic. My bad. Still popular though!

First time going to Sziget. Most likely alone. What would be accommodation recommendations? On the island or hotel/hostel in the city?
I'd suggest on the island as I'd say you've probably left it a bit late for anything decent and reasonably priced in the city. I could be wrong but I've been monitoring booking.com and there doesn't appear to be much left.

No idea at the minute.
They need to sort you out, pretty sure they're legally obliged to get you to your destination on the day you're due to arrive or as near as possible, either on one of their flights or on a competitors'.

Why is Role Model (Freedome, 6.30pm, Wednesday) listed at Cate? Lol
And why is there a 90 minute gap in Freedome while Dua Lipa is on main stage? This could create serious overcrowding on main stage if it stays like that.
Still awaiting a decent-sized act in Freedome on Thursday. Stage is currently empty between 7.45pm and 10.15pm.

But why do they have “space “ for some acts but with Sam Fender and Arctic Monkeys not? Quite confusing tbh….
Sorry, I don't understand what you mean by 'space' between acts. There's at least a 30 minute gap between the end of Sam Fender and the start of the Arctic Monkeys
-
Cleopatrick added onto Wednesday 11pm on IBIS X All Europe Stage.
-
There looks to be a space between Lauren Sanderson and Riles on the Thursday in Freedome. Has someone been removed from that slot since yesterday as I didn't notice it then.

Can someone explain to me why Sam Fender plays almost 2 hours? And a band like Fontaines DC 1 and a half hours? Is that normal for SZiget? I am used to set times of 1 hour (except headliner)
Dont get me wrong I am happy with those long sets but is it correct ? Because when are there set changes?
I believe (but happy to be corrected) that Sam will probably play 75mins and Fontaines 60 mins, each with 30 mins switch over time to the next act.

Music-wise we're looking at:
Wednesday: Remi Wolf - Noga Erez - Role Model - Rufus Du Sol - Dua Lipa
Thursday: Alice Merton - Bastille - KOL
Friday: Alfie Templeman - Jungle
Saturday: Black Honey - Lola Marsh - Lewis Capaldi - Sevdaliza - Calvin Harris
Sunday: Sigrid - Palaye Royale - Anne-Marie - Caribou/Tame Impala
Monday: Holly Humberstone - Inhaler - Sam Fender - Arctic Monkeys - Fontaines DC
The 2019 line-up was more suited to my tastes so we didn't really try out any other stages so, on Thursday and Friday at least, going to give them a go and be the oldest swinger in town at Elrow on Monday!

Updated clashfinder according to this: https://clashfinder.com/s/sziget2022/
Ran-D and Cleopatrick are on lineup page but not on timetable and don't have stage times on their pages.
Masked Wolf is missed both from lineup and timetable pages, so probably out - which is strange considering he was one of the main "quick-filler" acts for last minute dropped off artists this season (Rock for People, Weekend Festival Finland etc.)
Perhaps the acts you have mentioned have been placed on a 'reserve' list in case any of the current crop drop off - which seems inevitable.
-
We are going to Sziget with my daughter and her friend (both 17-years-old). Looking through the line-up, there are a few acts they want to see - Folamour being one - that are playing well into early morning.
We are staying in the city centre, near the Four Seasons - how safe would it be for them to get a taxi from the site to our apartment on their own?
-
Main clash is definitely Caribou and Tame Impala. After that, I'm pretty happy although the way the timings work mean there'll be a lot of leaving acts a little early to get a decent place at another stage in time for another act.
Inhaler to Sam Fender is a particular pain for that.
Only other major clash is Nova Twins and Rufus Du Sol which I can definitely live with!

Things might alter, you know what they've been like with the lineup on the website. But here you are.

Tame Impala v Caribou is my only real tough decision. I've never seen Tame Impala so will go with them.
Probably my age but the A38 seems much weaker this year.
I'd missed that. That is a horrific clash. Saw Caribou last year and absolutely loved them but, like you, I've never seen Tame.
That's gutting.

Nice one.
Monday looks perfect, although a bit of an odd placement putting Holly Humberstone on the main stage.
Glad Fontaines are playing after Arctic Monkeys snd not clashing with them or Sam fender. Also happy to finish the weekend with Sasha.
Where have you got the info that Holly is main stage? Or is it just the timing?
I've seen her twice before (neither time impressed me particularly) but agree that main stage for her and her kind of music seems bizarre.

Times have been posted on the website - not sure if these are the final correct times.
Hope they are correct as it'd mean that none of AM/Sam Fender/Fontaines/Inhaler will clash on the Monday

This is what has happened to Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam. Played a festival early last week and all of the dust f*cked up his vocal chords. They've had to cancel their last four gigs because of it.
