Sziget 2012

[guitarbaz]

Radiohead.

I was right with the Roses and I'll be right with this one!

[WhatAboutMe]

Yeh i think you could be right with Radiohead, im also fully expecting The Cure to be announced as well. On their website it says they have "1 or maybe 2" more european festivals to announce, and they've got a nice gap in their schedule for Sziget.

Its also about time we got more of an announcement!! longest wait ever

[Ben Holland]

Still holding out for Foos and Daft Punk!!

Pretty please........!!

[PastCaring]

I think I'm gonna be watching Korn too, but I truly don't care about Placebo. But, who knows, their new album might be the best ever and will change my opinion.

And seriously, even in the unlikely case all acts to be announced are not good for you, you will certainly not regret going to Sziget once the festival has begun. Sziget is not about line-up, it's about the total experience. People come from everywhere, bands come from everywhere and together everyone makes Sziget a great festival!

I'd be relatively confident for an announcement on the 19th.

oh the Cure would be great

they (the organisers) have stated they'll be going for a more youthful appearance to the lineup this year but we'll see....

Placebo are a bit meh, seen them a few times and they just didn't do it for me. they could have kicked arse with the material they have, but didn't.

[j...rox]

Someone on the official page asked for Noel Gallagher. Sziget liked the post, think that suggests a strong possibility?

[j...rox]

They also did it when someone posted the video for The Cure - Disintegration. So I reckon that's also likely.

[j...rox]

The only other ones I could see it for were The Killers and Biffy Clyro, I can pass on The Killers but it wouldn't surprise me if they were added.

Announcement deffo sometime next week according to the official Sziget News on Facebook. I think it'll contain a big, big band the foos or cure perhaps. I think it's now where alot of people are torn whether they should buy tickets so releasing a big act or two makes perfect sense. Im not even gonna guess every time ive been completely wrong ..

Day zero: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%81kos_Kov%C3%A1cs

Hungarian singer-songwriter. Seems like Sziget is targetting the locals: they no longer can afford Sziget itself so they're giving them this.

Bit of a letdown after Prince, on the other hand: the announced and rumoured lineup is already so good that it's hardly a problem. Viza, LMFAO, Subways, Steve Aoki, Ministry.. I'm really, really looking forward to it already!

Last year the end-of-March announcement contained one planned headliner: Amy Winehouse. Pulp and Chemical Brothers had been announced before in the first release of names, while White Lies (in my opinion the weakest headliner) was announced end of April. The Prodigy was announced end of June, 30 Seconds To Mars (replacing Amy Winehouse) was announced beginning of July and the announcement of Prince was really, really late: end of July.

As we already have three likely headliners right now, I think there will be no headliner announced this time. Instead I expect quite some names for the World Music Stage and some smaller stages.

Ministry, Placebo and The Stone Roses don't shout new band do they! No complaints on The Roses of course.

[Cristall]

Apparently Michael Eavis wants us to go to Sziget too: -click-

Amon Amarth self-confirmed. Metal stage one would presume, although some bands like this do find themselves in the A38 tent.

[AndyBradshaw1]

Another announcement this week apparently.. anyone got any idea of the date?

Tomorrow Morning to be exact.

[Cristall]

Tomorrow Morning to be exact.

[j...rox]

Are you sure about that? The German word 'Morgen' means both morning and tomorrow

[jmcevoy2]

Maybe it means tomorrow morning? lol

[Ben Holland]

Exit Festival are revealing more of the line up tomorrow as well. Co-incidence? Perhaps.....or maybe they have booked the same band/s and can't reveal it until tomorrow.

Really hoping to be blown away by the Sziget line up after all the good things my mates said about it last year. The fact Michael Eavis has piped up a couple of times about Sziget in last few weeks too bodes well. Being who he is, maybe he has some inside knowledge about the lineup.....Probably me just wishful thinking though.

Foos, Noel, The Cure & Black Keys and I'll be extremely happy.

Well, lets hope we get a great announcement tomorrow - what's the betting it's in the afternoon? Then we'll have an excuse to book tickets on payday!
