I recommend Iamyank on the Europe /Buzz stage. He is basically a legend in the Hungarian underground electronic scene. Basically all of the upcoming electronic musicians learned the "business" in his producer school. His music is not dance music tho, but he will bring the live performance of his most recent album with two drummers, it f**king slaps. Also God Is An Astronaut plays the same stagr that day.

Fred Again.. is a cheap guy, and doesnt like to eat overly expensive food.

I understand where you are coming from, but let me assure you, that this lineup WILL NOT be a commercial success. Just look at ticketswap. Right now you can buy a 6-day pass more than 30 percent under the current official price. ATM there are nearly 500 6 day passes selling. What would you say how many people are buying new tickets right now and after seeing the line up? This generation thing is a bullshit. Young people can and do love "old" music, it just have to be good music.

A real shame. Huge F for the organisers.

We will probably get disappointed anyway, so no real difference.

YES! Personally I could see a post-rock band every night haha 😄 Gonna see Godspeed this Sunday, so f**king hyped

I dont know, I find it very dangerous to be this optimistic after what went down with this year's lineup 😄

Air countinues their tour through August. I guess we gonna miss them too 😄

Value-wise, of course, but in absolute terms, this is huge money for a teenager or a uni student in Hungary. For most Sziget goers from that population, Sziget is their only holiday for the year/summer, they cannot afford the two. It was for me anyway

Sziget group got f**ked by covid real hard, and understandably so. I dont know much about other European governments, but I can imagine they at least offered so financial help for the festivals. Here it was nothing. Combine that with the general inflation in Hungary, the weakening of the forint, the inflation within the music industry and the deteriation of the consumer power and here we are. Very sad to see honestly. 2018 and 2019 was prime time for Sziget, they were definitely a top 5 festival in Europe, and now its just like any average happening. And honestly, being "cheap" just wont work out, its not going to engage customers, people wont be coming back - understandably so. It wont work, you either go big and build something big or sort of die, or just become small and irrelevant.

his album "Rounds" got me into electronic music after being a deluded hater of "computer garbage". the man is a genius and a legend. he honestly never even made just average music, always interesting and innovating. his new album just got out, and it doesnt disappoint. its his 12th record as Four Tet.. so glad to see him, and honestly I hope all Fred, Skrillex and him will have their own set, with their own music.

Im sorry mate, but you have to be at least mildly naive to think its going to get any better with a third wave announcement

we will probably have to go to Europe stage to hear some guitars

I understand. still shame tho. the quality drop compared to '18 and '19 is shocking. I know, covid f**ked sziget hard, etc. but this is sad. two-three whole categories below and worse

headliners is one thing. could be better, but its not really amazing anywhere this summer. but oh man the undercards, so many f**king amazing bands all around, and Sziget could get maybe 2 or 3. where are all the instruments, eh?

Im not surprised, with the clues we had, it was already known its a weak one again. Huge F for the bookers. Their only excuse could be the lack of adequate funds.

Sziget Festival 2024 aka How to underwhelm the rock bottom expectations

The Smile Queens of the Stone Age (I know, not necessary too probable) London Grammar Massive Attack Justice

people are talking about Billie Eilish, Justin Bieber, Imagine Dragons, Rihanna, etc. they are not that huge. would be good tho. would take QOTSA and Massive any day.

these are not HUGE names. but i agree, 4/5 of these should be booked.

guys, you have to be somewhat realistic, there arent any huge names around, Sziget cannot do anything with that. i agree, Stormzy is weak, Maneskin and Lana should have been booked for sure. QOTSA aswell, but its understandable they chose to stay in Scandinavia and have three gigs instead of coming to f**king Eastern Europe and do one. on the other hand, undercards are good, could be better, but its good. i really miss The Smile tho 😞 Covid really f**ked Sziget, 2018-2019 were so amazing years, the festival really hit it to be a top5 european festival, the 2020 lineup could also have been legendary, and then sh*t hit the fan. Sziget will probably need a few years to recover, i hope both the investors and the management is on the same board. this year (2023) the organisation was great, they really did what they could to put on an amazing festival. the lack of money still lingers, the lineup was obviously not on a 2018/19/20 level. ofc they should do better for 2024, probably in the sub-headliner department, but realistically, they wont be able to book a HUGE headliner.

look beyond Mainstage, its nothing tasteless. no offense, i get you, i also dont like these acts, but i honestly stopped hoping to get really good big names. and hopefully the decorations will comeback with a better financial situation next year.

that would be awesome. Leaks said they are working on it

headliners are weak, but undercards are interesting. could have been better, but I expected way worse. this can shape up really nicely. cant really bother with Mainstage anyway. the crowd is always sh*t there.

you too! thank you!!!! 🥰
