Someone wrote that you could not bring their own alcohol into the campsite, this is true?And if it is. How much does a beer cost at the campsite?

Think it sounds pretty unreasonable.

And what do u do if ur 17?

the majority of those with any form of bag or backpack will get searched. sometimes they'll even pat you down if you're not carrying anything at all (i like to travel light).

ffs the beer is so cheap on site why would you bother lugging it all there yourself?

And don't forget: the beer on site is cold. Well, it depends on where and when you buy it, but most of the times it is. If you want a cold can of beer, you better not buy it close to Main Stage shortly after one of the gigs has finished. ;)

Beer from the fridge in my campervan is cold + a whole lot cheaper than £1.50 a glass if bought in Czech Republic on the way.

Fairly easy to get booze in if hidden in van..

Pretty much anything you like apart from cider. Spent most my week last year drinking buckets of JD+Coke and cocktail. I recomend a bar on the right hand side of main stage were you can drink cocktails and dance on the tables.

Just found out Meduza is gone, we were the fools that decided to camp right next after seting up in the rain and not knowing what it was. Sleep failed that week....

think they must be in negotiations with bands then, hopfully trying to get someone big for the saturday headliner to silence all the haters, probs trying to get someone big to play for a smaller fee due to their new budget restrictions,

also GIVE US METAL DAY BANDS PLZZZZZZZ :D

I just took a look at some websites of (metal) festivals shortly before and during Sziget and made a list of the bands that could possibly perform on Day Zero. If Sziget uses the same slots for Metal Day as for Ska and Reggae Day two years ago, I expect a Hungarian metal band to open and probably four other acts to perform, of which Lacuna Coil probably is one. The others could be:

Scorpions (4/8 Wacken, Germany)

In Flames (3/8 Wacken, Germany)

Opeth (3/8 Wacken, Germany)

Cradle Of Filth (2-4/8 Wacken, Germany)

Meshuggah (4/8 Hevy, UK – 10/8 Jurassic Rock, Finland)

Hammerfall (2-4/8 Wacken, Germany)

Dimmu Borgir (3/8 Wacken, Germany – 9/8 Brutal Assault, Czech Republic)

Refused (9/8 Way Out West, Sweden)

Kamelot (3/8 Wacken, Germany)

Volbeat (2/8 Wacken, Germany)

Hatebreed (11/8 Bloodstock, UK)

Epica (8/8 Metal Camp, Slovenia)

Behemoth (9/8 or later, Bloodstock, UK)

Unearth (6/8 Lecce, Italy – 8/8 Munich, Germany)

Heaven Shall Burn (3/8 Szene, Austria – 9/8 Brutal Assault, Czech Republic)

Moonspell (2/8 Wacken, Germany – 11/8 Brutal Assault, Czech Republic)

In Extremo (3/8 Wacken Germany – 10/8 Klaffenbach, Germany)

Napalm Death (6/8 Metal Camp, Slovenia – 10/8 Brutal Assault, Czech Republic)

Sick Of It All (4/8 Wacken, Germany – 9/8 Brutal Assault, Czech Republic)

Agnostic Front (6/8 Birmingham, UK)

Baroness (6/8 Hamburg, Germany – 9/8 Oya, Norway)

Textures (4/8 Vagos, Portugal – 11/8 Brutal Assault, Czech Republic)

Arch Enemy (4/8 Vagos, Portugal)

Of course there are many more acts possible, but these are just the bands I know.

Quite unlikely for Sziget, because they already perform in Hungary the week before Sziget:

Machine Head (2/8 Fezen, Hungary – 6/8 Metal Camp, Slovenia – 10/8 Brutal Assault, Czech Republic)

Sepultura (4/8 Fezen, Hungary – 10/8 Brutal Assault, Czech Republic)

Testament (2/8 Fezen, Hungary – 6/8 Metal Camp, Slovenia – 9/8 Vasteras, Sweden

Kreator (3/8 Fezen, Hungary)

Korpiklaani (4/8 Fezen, Hungary - 5-9/8 Metal Camp, Slovenia)

Very unlikely, as they already planned another show for 7th of August:

Alice Cooper (Langesund, Norway)

Social Distortion (Stockholm, Sweden)

Iced Earth (Dublin, Ireland)

Finntroll (Metal Camp, Slovenia)

Paradise Lost (Metal Camp, Slovenia)

The Black Dahlia Murder (Munich, Germany)

    • No worries, it's a perfectly fair question to ask. I would expect people to be talking at the back & near the bars & that is where I would want them to be talking. If your group are enjoying yourselves & the music & briefly chatting to say how much you are loving a certain song etc, you would be an ideal group to stand behind.   My issue is with people having full blown conversations (usually unrelated what is on the stage) whilst being surrounded by people who are trying to listen to the music. This was happening in the middle and towards the front of all stages, & so you have limited options to move around & you may have spent 20 minutes waiting for the band trying to get the closest position that you can. If there's a group of 8 people, there may be 2 or 3 that like the band & the rest will start talking if the music isn't their thing. This may be the norm now for festivals, and if it is, that's ok & I will focus on a band's own gigs & UK based new music festivals.    I'm also not including consequences of my own decision making. I saw Geese on Wednesday so went to Occident after Men I Trust finished so it was understandable there would be chatting that far back. Similarly, getting to The XX after Olivia Rodrigo along with most of the site, I knew my chance of a good spot & a chat-free zone had gone so that was completely reasonable.   PS. I went to Bilbao BBK in 2023 & 2025 & enjoyed it. For Pulp & Kylie in 2025, I got a position early & was surrounded by a respectful & fun crowd for both. The UK non-headlining bands tend to go on the undercover 3rd stage, & most people like to congregate outside so you can usually get close to the front of that stage.   
    • Interview on 6 music earlier, was going to get the album to have a listen, but comes out the day they play the festival 
    • Additional dates added already    
    • I feel like it's not COMPLETELY beyond the realm of possibility that they could headline but I just don't see it.    They're not doing anything other than headlining. So nah, I don't see it.
    • Consider that the sound quality can be better near the front bars right behind the soundbooth rather than closer to the stage, like with mbv. And of course, the front sections are full of talkers too.   The most courteous move would be to have conversations in the very back of the field.
