seeing only this last day selling, proves that we're right : the 2024 line up is really weak.
We knew it, we said it, and now the "big sziget brains" can realize it.
Usually, when bookers f**ked a line-up up (is this correct english lol ?), do they get fired ? because, well, 2024 will remain in everyones' heads, but not for the 30th anniversary lol...
While I completely agree the lineup is weak AF, full of (cheaper) solo artists, etc., I guess it is not about bookers doing a bad job, but just low budget thing. That's it for this money. If they could book someone exclusive, they would. As well it is a year of only a few proper headliners touring through Europe so that doesn't help either.
Sziget is evidently more leaning into electronics and trying to win over a younger audience, they offered 21&Under ticket for a reason and it may save this edition, while there will be less and less "regulars". Sziget is changing rapidly, organizers surely know they can't compete with some festivals anymore and they will try to go down a different path (i hope this expression makes any sense)
-
Tickets surely are selling slow, 820 tickets on Ticketswap already, last year Day 2 went to tier 3 instany, now barely two days on second tier

This year i won't make it to Sziget, been there all last editions since 2019. This year will be more about family time for me:))
About the lineup: To me it's giving me "lower budget" vibes. Less live bands and more electronic acts (actually DJs part of lineup is very strong) is where this fest is going. No big and expensive headliners such as Edd Sheeran etc. Undercards are average at best as well. With lower prices and under 21 tickets they are going more after youngers, i belive.
Pretty much all of confirmed headliners were or would be subhead in previous years. It seems in this part of Europe most of festivals are struggling, just check out Exit lineup, terrible.
For everyone going, i hope organization will be perfect and the whole amazing Sziget experience will remain as good as ussualy, it's what makes this festival special and still worth going at this point.
Peace out.

Headliner wise maybe not the strongest and up-to-date edition, but stronger undercard as in past years.

A bit weird we still dont have a poster, isn't it? 😂
It has been a while since last announcement either, i hope we'll get a new name this week

You have : Stormzy, Sam Smith, Aurora, Crystal FIghters, Grandson, Becky Hill, Tomlinson, Big Thief, Fontaines D.C, Yard Act, Wednesday, Joker Out, Blondshell, Pip Blom, Zoe Wees, Warhaus, Dagny. (17) of 35.
This is where i stand: Electronic / non-electronic ratio aside, this list of live artist (so far) is quite disappointment for such a festival.

According to their website, Dogstar also on second festival day, allegedly With Hozier & Paolo Nutini
-
It is still pretty bad, but i honestly expected it to be way worse.

Also realistically - unless Sziget's REALLY taking an L this year, we're looking at:
4 headliners (Stormzy potentially co-head a la Lorde/Macklemore?) + 2 sub-heads in Becky Hill and Louis Tomlinson right?Something like that. Despite i'm still disappointed, i think Sam, Fred and Garrix will do well and aren't really weak headliners.
Stormzy on the other hand feels a bit forced as headliner, but might be the "Lorde 2023" co-head case. Either way, that day needs another strong name.
I'm not sure about Becky, on webpage and posters she is not listed as a top name, and i don't think she is bigger as Aurora for example, at least not outside UK. That makes me think she is not sub.
Interesting is that Four Tet is being listed as 6th biggest name just after Louis. Maybe there is something to the Skrilex idea.

Post covid posters of first lineup drops. last year was quite ok tbh.
-
Headliners dates are on:
Stormzy 9.8
Garrix 10.8.
Sam Smith 11.8.
Fred again.. 12.8. Closing show 🙂
-
It looks like Hozier might get headline spot after all? Maybe beacuse of great feedback they promoted him up, idk.

It is a 21&under lineup. End of story.
Headliner wise it is weaker also, not a single name as huge as Billie or Imagine Dragons. Fred and Garrix will go down well but Stormzy as headliner outside UK? Remember Arlo Parks last year, it was empty.
-
Very meh. Lets face it, for a 90k mayor festival, this can not be good.
But we kind of knew that already, so it is less of disappointment for some.
-
Nice lineup, as always.

UPDATE:
The National & The Gaslight Anthem - 24 June
Hozier & Paolo Nutini - 25 June
The Smashing Pumpkins - 26 June
No info for VB & Sleaford Mods
It makes me optimistic that there is quite a lot yet to come, looks like we might be getting solid undercards. Headliner + Hozier + Paolo Nutini would be considered a strong day for INmusic.
