Sziget team must be facing even more serious budget issues than i thought. They just revealed the full line up of their other summer festival, Balaton Sound. It is by far the weakest line up in the last 15 years. All the big edm names are removed, no rap/hip-hop names, the 2nd biggest stage basically eliminated (yeah of course they communicate this differently).
I wonder how they are going to approach the following years, maybe their new direction is budget lineup/ festivals which are at least affordable for Hungarians/young audience.
Having been to Balaton Sound/Sziget 15+ times this massive decline is very tough to watch...
Also i think it is clear that Sziget has absolutely no intention to bring rock bands anymore, Rise Against is literally playing 1 day after Sziget in Budapest.
