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.

well, take a look at the "opponents" , like Mad Cool, Rock Werchter, Glastonbury (when their line up will be available) .. it will give you an idea

yep, "recognizable"... but average. Nice average names for an average festivaL. We think (we thought) that Sziget was a Major Festival.

(Speaking of "only popular in the U.K", ladies and gentlemen, Catfish and the Bottlemen ! 😄 ) Just so everyone realise lol : Catfish is 2.4M listenners/month. Aurora is 12M. EVEN Mumford and Sons are more popular (10.5M/month). And we remember the small crowd last year at Sziget...

many of these names will be at A38 stage...even last year, Sziget began to fill the A38 with dj's acts, more than before. To me, Collosseum and Party Arena are enough for dj's, eletro music etc... so I would like Sziget to let the A38 stage out of this genre.

lol I let everyone judge those names 😅 , but at least these are BANDS, that I personnaly would prefer instead of Richie Hawtin, Honey Dijon, Dom Dolla, Anotr, ... dj's, dj's, and only dj's ... 😡🤬

Biffy Clyro / Snow Patrol / Maneskin / Korn / Queens of the Stone Age / The Offspring / Idles / Keane / Motionless in White / Wet Leg / Pixies / Inhaler / ... Here are some example of bands touring in Europe in August. And that's only the ones I'm aware of ! Because I believe many European acts could be available if they were asked. My point is : Sziget 2024 is, so far, a Discount Edition. The new owners + the booker are f**king us up with their low line-up budget.

euro tour planned for 2024, don't know about any festivals though

maybe I miss it, but can someoone tell me who this clue was related to ..?

Damn, I really feel sorry for you... We all expected way more from Sziget, the disappointment is huge... 😞 to be honest, it's the undercard that disappoint and annoys me the most. Garrix and Fred Again.., even if we don't like them, they are headline material (but Stormzy is clearly not, I agree). oh trust me lol, I agree with you, I'd hate to see Lana Del Rey again 😅 About Rihanna I can't tell, wasn't there, but at least they TRIED to book a huge, popular (and expensive !) act.

P.S : no wonder why they don't talk about the fact that it is their 30th anniversary.. even THEM know that their line up suck.

🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮 I understand why @Sziget2024_Leaks is afraid to come back here to read us. He/She is aware of the weakness of this announcement. Instagram comments are violents lol... Truth is, BANDS are more expensive to book than SOLO artists, whether you like it or not. And since the Americans took control of Sziget, their line-up budget IS smaller year after year, that's a fact. The example of Lana Del Rey is a proof : every festival who wanted her, HAVE her. Not Sziget. Same for Maneskin. Why that ? Because they have to "negociate" ... it's only a matter of money guys, which Sziget is not willing to give anymore. And that PISSES ME OFF. Sziget use to be a great, even maybe the greatest festival in Europe. David Bowie, Prince back in the days... or even Rihanna, P!nk, Foo Fighters, Arctic Monkeys, they were all the bests of their categorys ! and Undercards were great ! Now it's only new names/solo names, which are cheaper than confirmed names/bands.

no way. They cost even more than Metallica (which is 3 millions), and Sziget dont put that much money anymore.

May you be right.. ! 🙏

can't believe Stormzy is a headliner... with Sam Smith, that would be 2 names that aren't headline materials elsewhere.. well, sounds like a surprising "discount 30th birthday" to me ... + names like big thief, yard act, overmono.. these aren"t even "second zone" names... This is the first time I'm afraid of the line-up lol.

Indeed, Breaking Benjamin's lead singer has a phobia : planes... i think when he came to Europe, he took the boat (or am I wrong ?) So I have doubts about that poster... but hey, who knows... that would be great though

Sam Smith and Louis Tomlinson seems to be those And about the Victorious, I remember last year at Rock en Seine WET LEG : the (big!) crowd made me think of Sziget , so... maybe ^^

Biffy would have been so great... but the 18-23 don't know them 😕

Yep, Kylie Minogue last album is quite good.. ! But as @kristofm said, I think that Sziget don't book this kind of artists anymore...sadly... And with their "under 21 years old" offer, I'm really afraid of this fest' future for us lol.. (I'm 36 ^^)

(yep, that's "so sad simon" lol, the bullshiter from previous years guys. Dont believe him)

daily tickets don't sell out too quickly. But 2 days, 3 days and mostly 4 days can sold out quite early..

Pulp isn't that popular outside the U.K, but Maneskin is ^^

Maneskin and The Hives are the 2 I'd take immediatly 😄
