that... THAT would drive me crazy lol 😄 Kylie Minogue ... ❤️❤️❤️

I was actually thinking of someone else for this "no way they're doing festivals" lol 😉 About Coldplay, their fee being over 3.5M also makes me think that there is no way Sziget will book them. I don't know how much Prince or David Bowie used to ask, but nowadays we all understand Sziget won't spend that much money anymore for a single act. But I still maintain : offer those 9 Millions Rihanna got for the indian wedding, and even Coldplay will come to Budapest lol.

I remember when majority were like "blablabla Coldplay impossible for festivals"... . Thank you Glastonbury. I hope now everyone realise that it's only a matter of MONEY. Hey, Rihanna performed at a wedding for 9 millions, ok ..? So please no more " gnagnagna blabla he's/they/she not doing festivals etc...". But considering the obvious Sziget budget for music, indeed I don't believe 1 second that they could get Taylor Swift lol. Or AC/DC or The Weeknd. We should look at acts that use to be subhead or "normal" headliners.. James Blunt, Sia, Usher, etc.. and if we get lucky, someone who haven't performed for a while like Shakira or Ariana Grande, etc... (Katy Perry still seems to me too big for the "Nowadays Sziget" 😞 )

let's hope so ^^ Wouldn't that be a great news ? 😄 Don't worry we'll get someone like Shakira's level instead 😉

I'm not unhappy with the 5 last names we got, because I have already accept the fact that Sziget made the choice to spend LESS on the line up budget. That's a FACT, we must deal with it. The last big shot was Foo Fighters in 2019 (trust me, they are expensive.. way more than Imagine Dragons or Billie). So considering that, we should now take a look at the undercard way more than we used to ; the first wave was very poor, everyone agree on that. I think even Sziget themselves, they're not stupid. Why do you think they don't communicate about this edition being the 30th... they're kind of ashamed.. So the 6 first names we got from the second wave (Skrillex, L.Gallagher, Tom Odell, Raye, Editors and Mo) aren't that bad (except Liam as a headliner, this is too much). I'm just saying, let's be patient , maybe they'll be clever and get the best undercards names they can get.

Even i I hope for Biffy Clyro, Maneskin or Queens of the Stone Age for the rock headline show.. Liam can be quite good. MØ subhead on mainstage and Editors on A38 is also nice. I don't know for everyone here, but these 3 first names (even if I'm not a fan) are a better start for me than the first wave ^^ thanks for the clues @Sziget2024_Leaks 😉

hey.. I almost wrote "Keane" in the list.. 😜

Placebo, Rise Against, Biffy Clyro, Motionless in White, Maneskin, The Offspring, Kasabian, Inhaler, The Kills, Queens of the Stone Age, Korn, Snow Patrol, Liam Gallagher, The Hives, Spiritbox, Neck Deep, The Amity Affliction, Viagra Boys, Scorpions (why not after all..), Flogging Molly, ... These are only a few examples of rock bands touring in Europe in August. So Sziget can't say afterwards " rock acts were missing in August".. clearly not. So I'm veeery curious about the second line up announcement. there is hope. But also fear lol...

don't overthink : it's only a matter of money. If they're willing to pay, it's on. But I (sadly..) don't think Sziget is aiming this kind of artists nowadays 😕 . Younger rock bands maybe (because cheaper) , like The Reytons, Dead Poet Society, ... About Placebo, they've been to sziget many times, and it seems that it was a combination that works, so why not...

Motionless in White is kind of "Palaye Royale" in Sziget 2022, that would be nice 🙂

Skrillex as a headliner ? never lol. More a "Party arena headliner" maybe, just like Alan Walker or Steve Aoki were.

u realise they were already here last year, right ?

(great show though)

Skrillex / RAYE / Tom Odell Ok then. I still hope some from Biffy Clyro, Rise Against, Marc Rebillet, Snow Patrol, Robin Schulz, Justice, Keane, ... and of course unannounced names yet in Europe ^^

I sadly agree. I'm even angry at them, disrespecting us by putting so much electro-edm acts... like we dont know its cheaper than bands...

... L.O.L ... it IS Skrillex, no doubt about this. And I honestly don't care where they put him. Same as Alan Walker or Steve Aoki I guess, Party Arena..

no way. Too big, too expensive and "too old" for new sziget. That is sad though, she would be an amazing act 🥲

New announcements from those two fests', MAIN SQUARE and ROCK EN SEINE When I see Blink-182, The Killers, Prodigy, Maneskin, BMTH, etc... on other fests' ... ... and sziget giving us goldband and azahriah.... 🥵🥵🥵

same for Rock en Seine and Cabaret Vert, 2 french fests' happening in August

and wayyyyy too expensive for Sziget. For any festival actually. 0 chance 😕

cool, another edm-electro act. Threre wasn't enough, I feel better now. Keane and Babymetal have my votes ^^ Also, "TALK" is the kind of act I would definitely see at Sziget : he's all about the acceptance of ourselves, no matter what we look like, no matter who we love, ... yep, that must be a choice Sziget made. I would say 80% chance.

* Robin Schulz * Biffy Clyro * Keane * Zaho de sagazan * (a festival EXCLUSIVITY. You know, because 30th anniversary. Because Sziget is a big name I think..)

lol you're not spamming, it's actually nice to see what the others fests' have planned ^^ Keane and London Grammar would be nice 🙂

I agree. It makes me think of metal festivals I go to, for example Hellfest : in 2019 and 2023, I attended NONE of the headliners lol, still it remains my favorite festival because the undercard is gold. I expect kind of the same with Sziget this year, I ended up accepting that the headliners would not be at the level of 2022

@Newjem, I think this is a good resume ^^ I 90% of the time agree with you man, but there is a WORLD between Sziget's line up and RW - Mad Cools' ones lol.. Being aware of some "bands cost" (sorry I don't know the english word or expression) in some French festivals, I can swear to you that Mad cool and Rock Werchter did spent way more money on their line up than Sziget so far.
