You wanna make rum?? Cheers!

I booked through szigetfest.co.uk and they send the (e-)tickets immediately after receiving the payment. In case of bank transfer that can take up to a few days. You can choose if you want an e-ticket or normal ticket, but normal tickets are more expensive... E-tickets from szigetfest.co.uk always worked fine for me :) About See I don't know exactly how they do it, but I've heard people had to wait for their tickets for a long time last year. Some even didn't get their ticket before they went to Budapest...

might be reading too much into this, but I did notice that on facebook that The Cure are friends of the Sziget Italia page. Also on the Cure's website it says that there are 3 or 4 more summer fesrivals that have still to be announced. Fingers Crossed!

people need to calm down a little bit, one user (not sziget news) has said that someone on sziget's italian facebook or twitter page has said that they are 'almost certain' that korn would headline so that (to me anyway) does not confirm anything.... i'm still standing by my own opinion that if korn were headlining they would have be announced as headliners not just as playing

I really hope you're right mr monkey.

Making my first visit this year, after going to Glasto for the last umpteen years as well as other fests, and for my Stag do too as a bonus.

I Don't mind Placebo although not a huge fan and I'm really not into Korn at all and never was. I also have tickets for Heaton Park to see the Roses as I live about 10 mins down the road....so the announcements haven't done it for me so far.

Hopefully the next announcement due anytime soon and further ones will be better.....here's hoping anyway.

Who are you realistically expecting as the remaining headliners?

My first sziget too (same as you as glasto isnt on).... no idea who else is headlining... in my dreams maybe at the drive in or the cure, i just dont think that korn will be headlining as they would have been announced as being (as placebo and stone roses were) people just need to chill out and wait to see who is announced and not judge the festival until all acts are announced... this time last year they hadn't actually announced anyone!

Just wanted to check with some other people that have bought their ticket from szigetfest.co.uk- if you bought more than one, and had to put all the ticket holders names in individually, did you find that the e-tickets all have the bookers name on anyway? Sure it will be OK as I forgot to bring the card I booked with last year and they were absolutely fine with just my UK driving licence but just wanted to check!

Oh and PS to the person looking for an apartment- three of us are getting a 2 bed place for £230 total for 9 nights this year- this was from Trip Advisor holiday rental section. Seems a bit too good to be true tbh- hoping it turns out OK but communication has been good so far!

The last few posts are getting me excited, would be absolutely unbelievable if Foo Fighters, Springsteen, Arctics, Noel's HFB, and Bloc Party were announced. When is it expected to be released (the majority/full line-up)?

    • f**king horrendous and seems they couldn’t run an egg and spoon race.  zero info and the crush waiting to get in to see Massive Attack was potentially disasterous. Zero info, no stewards at all and was told that the whole evening was cancelled, when we got to the exit. Because it rained. First time attendee and i’ve got onsay, i’m far from impressed. Scalping bastard taxis asking €37 plus for an €11 fare too. Wonderdul.
    • Rumours are it's called The Lost Tour. In the US in September. Ireland in November (so UK+Europe a good bet around November/early December). 
    • Hey guys, is there a group going for any solo y not goers this year?? I couldn’t miss out once I saw the acts but it’s just me and would be great to meet some others:))
    • After deciding to abandon the festival, here's a few of my thoughts (mostly negative tbf).    On the positive side - was it just me or were there a few more urinals than last year? Seemed to help the queues at the loos a bit from what i saw. Plus they had at least had some foresight and had a few more covered areas in the VIP areas.    Now on the negatives.  The weather was admittedly pretty crap but it wasn't apocalyptic. How the actual f**k are bits of the main stage falling off in those conditions?  Then the communication was awful, there's a load of people who left the site because they were told by security guards/other personnel that there would be no more acts on the main stage this evening.  You have an app Primavera, use it! Yes, there's a shitload going on I'm sure but communication with the festivalgoers should be one of the top priorities. You failed.    And I'm not usually somebody who buys into the whole "oh this is hugely unsafe and it's lucky people weren't hurt" narrative, but all the above led to movements of people that were genuinely unsafe.  Evacuating Mordor entirely (again... Why???) and then having a horde of people trying to get in because they thought they were going to Massive Attack was insane.  And given a lot of people basically abandoned ship around 10.30pm the crush at both the exit to the festival and the entrance to the Metro was pretty dangerous.   Conditions happen, most people will get that....but the contingencies have to be better. 
    • You'd think that something like bad weather was in the basics of festival planning. After the shitshow of Madrid, you'd think they'd learnt their lesson, apparently not...
