This really is a good line up for the second stage. Compare this with the last 2 editions.

But she won’t headline right?

On what day is Joost? Are you sure he wont be on mainstage? He have been on all the big stages of the festivals of NL and BE, had a number 1 song in germany and is performing at eurovision this year

When I went for the first time (2014). There was a capacity of 60.000 a day, 16.000 of them were Dutch… Numbers are quite the same but capacity grow.

Not at all and that would be amazing and legendary!

I don’t think this announcement is that bad. Because you have 4 real headliners. Most of us don’t go to sziget for the headliners anyway. Besides that, this is only 10% of the line up, maybe even less. Leaks already confirmed they are talking to a rock headliner and another which they didnt agree with before this announcement, but probably will be the biggest of all. Since they planned to announce it this time why this announcement was delayed. Most undercard names will be announced next time. After that there will be the party arena announcement and after that the colloseum. but most off all. Line up helps but sziget is way more than just the line up. If you only go for the line up, please stay home. The vibe doesn’t need you 😉

Ok, the third one that could lead to Paramore…

This SHM hint is too easy…

Where is this confirmed? first aid kit and biceps are very likely because of all the other festivals they do in europe in August…

2015: Avicci and Martin Garrix as headliners…

Usually when a band plays in europe June/July they go somewhere else in august. Would be logistically a nightmare to travel from Canada all the way back to Europe to go back to the USA… It wont be them.

Memphis Depay!

Lowlands sold out in 15 minutes. Since The Netherlands is an important market for Sziget, it’s not a good sign for Sziget I guess

Usually when bands are in early summer in Europe, they change to other continent in August. according to that “rule” they are ruled out…

Usually there is a split in first part of summer and second part of summer. That rule out a lot of these acts for sziget. compared to dutch festival line up, you should look for line up of Lowlands. That festival share a lot acts with Sziget.

I was wondering why nobody was mentioning Tiësto before…. He is huge for 20 years now and i don’t know if he ever played at Sziget…

Negative in what way? No Chainsmokers as headliner but as something else? no EDM headliner? (I could understand if they don’t want fireworks) no chainsmokers lets play a game 🙂

Usually those festivals are all different entities under a bigger company. You can move the money around a bit but normally you keep the money in the same entity. so not a bigger budget. Although if VOLT took place they had to move money around to cover the losses in the last edition.

Both Balaton sound and VOLT did not make profit this year. Balaton sound also does not have dates for 2023. 2 options: they will full focus on Sziget which made profit they had to make a choise between balaton and VOLT. Because balaton is different genre, they choose that one.

Is Paramore big enough to be headliner these days or can they sub before Green Day or Billie Eilish?

I think the weekend also fits the bill perfect. But hint from leaks is clearly for the first headliner. We all know who that will be 😉

Is it a clue or is he announcing he will be back soon?

Well, that was it already. For me this Sziget was just not it. We had some great times but in general the line up compared to the price increases (higher price, less days, not much things i really wanted to see) is not worth it anymore. next to that, the food prices became so much higher since the first time i visited Sziget, 8 years ago. I think for a lot Dutch people this will be the last time. I overheard several conversations saying the foodprices are not acceptable anymore. People have to travel and pay for the festival. Sziget was able to be compete with Dutch festivals because of cheaper prices. It’s not like that anymore. It is cheaper to go to Down the rabbit hole or Lowlands where the line up is better than come all the way to Budapest. What I noticed 8 years ago is still happening: the further you get in to the week, the more prices starts to rise. A wrap gyros was at the beginning 4500 (more than 11 euro’s really??) yesterday it was 4900… A lot bars didn’t have all the drinks anymore, the same for food. Im concerned about the future of the festival.

On the map in the app that’s an entrance.

Both will be accepted. As a dutch person you are able to use your bankcard because Hungary is also EU (not Euro). You dont have to do anything. But normally it is cheaper to pay every transaction in cash and get bigger amounts at once from ATM.
