    Anyone got any info on dslr cameras at roskilde? Not seen anything on prohibited items. 

    I never got checked to enter the festival on first days, no one even asked me for my wristbands. After those days, they usually check if you have glass on your bag but nothing else, but try to contact to the festival via mail or instagram just to check it out

    Lana, Jorja, James Blake, Jungle, RAYE, Sevdaliza, Kali Uchis, Bicep, Charli XCX, 21 Savage, Maneskin, Omar Apollo, Troye Sivan, FKA Twigs, Arca, Kim Petras

    (all in Europe next summer, its not a random list)

    This is Primavera Sound editorial line-up. I think we could expect 2-3 at most from here.

    I feel like you are trolling at this point

     

    Mate, electronic music is electronic music. People who dislike it dislike it regardless if it is techno, dance or trance.

    Argument that lineup is not EDM heavy because Four Tet, Fred and Garrix are different style of electronic music is silly.

    That is basically like me saying that a fictional lineup that has Foo Fighters, The Cure, Flogging Molly, Maneskin and The Offspring is not rock heavy because they are not same style of rock.

    Taking your fictional example, I like bands from your list, and I hate others. The Cure and Maneskin sound totally different to me, same thing with Offspring.  They appael for totally different targets. Same thing happens with the electronic names from the line-up. Four Tet will be so boring for hardcore Martin Garrix fans.

    "People who dislike it dislike it regardless if it is techno, dance or trance" there are so many kind of different electronic names in the line-up, if you listen carefully, maybe you can find something you like. If you want to think everything is the same, it's your choice. 

    My point was "not to say" EDM to all electronic names, that's it. Was more like a technicality. We have like 50 % of electronic music right now (we have two stages for that, it's normal) but not 3/4 as you said

    Well, if you don't consider actual DJs like Fred Again and Four Tet as EDM, I can understand how you can think that 21 names out of 35 are not electronic music

    I feel like you are in minority, though

    First Four Tet's album is from 1999, of course he is not actual. But this is not my point. As I told  before, I understand EDM as this Tomorrowland type of djs, (Garrix, Avicci, Guetta, SHM, Alesso etc). 

    Meute is electronic music, but they play instruments, and they sound totally different from my perspective, just to point one from the fest. Many people love Fred and hate this tomorrowland type of electronic music, it's like comparing Nu-Metal with Punk just because they both have guitars. 

    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. 

    Then you have things like Overmono, Fred, Meute, L'imperatrice, Nia Archives, or Four Tet, and they are not the tipically Colloseum acts at all, and they'll probably play main or a38. They have 2 electronic stages, totally understandable they have a lot of electronic music. 

    My point, from an electronic music lover, is they have so many differente electronic sub-genres, and most electronic music lovers don't like all.

    I don't like techno, for instance.

    I wouldn't say that it is an age thing regarding the lineup

    I was listening to the official playlist last couple of days and I noticed that majority of songs/artists are EDM, like 3/4 of the playlist.

    If the festival is that heavy in EDM that could be the reason why on one hand it seems like it is a sh*tty lineup to a lot of people (as EDM is just one genre basically) and why on the other hand the people that like the lineup are thrilled by it (probably people who are in EDM)

    I understand EDM as  Martin Garrix, maybe Arbat at most. I cannot consider the same thing for Four Tet, Hawtin, Fred or Overmono, they all are electronic music, yes, but very different. I love electronic music, but not all the electronic names. 

    I see 21 names out of 35 that are not pure electronic, so I don't see your 3/4

    Looks like I'm the only one who is happy with this announcement. For me Fred Again.., Four Tet, Big Thief, Fontaines D.C., L'Imperatrice, Overmono, Nia Archives, Yard Act, Warhaus, Nova Twins, Wednesday and Blondshell are all very good acts, but I understand if someone wants bigger names especially on the 30th anniversary. I highly recommend Wednesday if you like indie rock, Rat Saw God is one of the best albums this year IMO.

    I'm totally with you. I like all the acts you said, + Aurora, Blondshell, Dagny, Grandson, Meute and Artbat. I'd say I want to see almost the full line up except Sam, Stormzy, Becky Hill, and Tomlinson and a few names I don't know (yet). I was expecting a worse line-up due Leaks bets.

    Even looking back at 2022-2023 lineups, this is... I just don't know.

    Headliner-wise it's probably a worst Sziget in a long time (at least for now). Martin Garrix is the only one which seems suitable - traditional EDM-headliner, and not the worst one. Stormzy is not a headliner material for such a huge festival outside of UK. Fred probably is a hot cake right now, but having two DJ headliners when festival only lasts for six days? No comments on Sam Smith, just don't want to discuss it.

    Like them or not, but Imagine Dragons and Billie Eilish are huge artists, which should headline such festival. In 2022 they had two huge pop stars, one huge guitar-driven band and two just big enough. And just three editions before Twenty One Pilots played before Foo Fighters on the last festival day. Time...

    Agree with you on headliners, but looks like there is not strong headliners touring in Europe on those dates. You have amazing bands like LCD Soundsystem, Massive Attack, or even Queens of the Stone Age, but they are not "strong" headliners at all (but I'd kill to have them, specially if we compare them with Stormzy or Sam Smith). The only "big" headliner touring is Lana del Rey, and looks like they are trying to book her. 

    On the other side, the "A38" names are pretty good

    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. 

     

     

    I don' think this is 21 under line-up at all

  9. The medium- small names are so good, c'mon. Pretty weak for headliners, but I don't really spend much time on main stage, so no problem with me. Very nice taste selecting most of the names. Leaks told us the worst names of the line-up in my opinion.

    He has a huge fanbase of teenage girls (former 1D fans), but besides that, no, he’s not big

    If they are former 1D fans, can't be teenagers right now. This One directions guys appeals more to people closer to their 30s than 20s. Harry Styles is 29, c'mon, that is another different generation

    Ok, good example, agree with you. Same with a director with a employe of a company.

    However, in this specific case, we are talking about a singer with a fan. We have the allegations, he defended himself saying that everything was consensual. Nothing was proven against him. Cheating on your wife is not a crime, and yet we don't know if they have an open relationship. The band continues, their marriage too. 

    It's not the same. Because there is power dynamic where you have control over the other one (their job) , and you could feel "obliged" to do some things in order to keep your job. It's not the same with the typical groupie / rock band leader dynamic, at least, once again, if there is not violence, blackmail, or werid stuff. I don't approve that.

    Because of the creepy power dynamics that he used for his benefit obviously. For example as a professor you are usually not allowed to have consensual relationships with students, even if you don't grade them. And especially not hitting them up via instagram, inviting them over and promising them things, that have something to do with your and their position, so completely misusing your power over them.


    Probably the only reason the "victims" were attracted to Win was because he was the singer of Arcade Fire.

    I don't know if he has used any type of violence, blackmail or something like that, if so, it seems reprehensible to me.

    But if this is not the case, he has simply used his status, which is something that women generally value as an attractiveness value. Just like being handsome, tall, muscular, or have a lot of money attracts to some kind of girls. 

    If is Consensus, It is an exchange in which each party gets what they are looking for.

    I think we can expect a mix of names from Rock Werchter, Opener, Rock in Rio Lisbon, Roskilde, Melt and Dour: Dua Lipa, Doja Cat, Kali Uchis, Isabella Lovestory, COBRAH, Skrillex, BICEP, Sugababes, Yaeji, Avril Lavigne, Maneskin, Tainy, etc.

    Your list is very urban-friendly for Mad Cool. This is not Primavera Sound or Roskilde. I'd say Dua Lipa, Avril Lavigne, Skrillex, Maneskin and maybe Bicep from that list. 

  14. Man, this sounds terrible. I only like Big Thief and Overmono from that list. 

    Nobody is asking about electronic names. How many from this list Leaks : Anyma, Mathame, Adriatique, Martin Garrix, Elderbrook, Bob Moses, Rufus du Sol, Odesza, French 79, Lost Frequencies, The Blaze.

    So they didn’t capable to book anyone from Rock en Seine lineup except Fred? But something called Sam Smith is booked? That’s really sad

    To be fair, I don't feel The Smile or Massive Attack in the music line of modern Sziget. Piss me off, because I love that kind of music. Sziget with a mix of Primavera Line-ups and Mad Cool line-ups, with the nice electronics acts they already have, would be heaven to me. 

    I'd kill to see Slowdive at A38...
