mm_zg Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 For those who have already been at Sziget, is it easy to get to the front rows or do you have to come early and watch all the concerts at the main stage before the headliners if you don't want to be far behind?

Uncle Liam Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 Its real easy to get to the front. Might be slightly more difficult for the headliners though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cristall Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 (edited) On Wednesday the front rows will probably be full with Hungarian girls waiting for Hurts and Placebo, but on the other days it shouldn't be any problem.

AndyBradshaw1 Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 @Cristall I dont even like Hurts but after what you just said you might catch me front row for a large majority of Wednesday.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cristall Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 (edited) Should I have mentioned that probably most of the Hungarian girls waiting for Hurts and Placebo are under-age? Edited June 13, 2012 by Cristall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lambo_KoRn Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 who wants to be right at the front anyway? its always much more fun in the mosh id rather be stood with the atmosphere than crushed up against a railing tbh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iagreeyes Posted June 14, 2012 Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 Do people want to start making recommendations (links to youtube videos) for some of the possibly lesser known bands that you are fans of? If I'm honest I think that line up is very dissapointing (the stone roses, the pogues, two door cinema club, Placebo and a handful of others are the only real attractions for me), but I've heard great things about the festival, and with a little research I'm sure I'll find enough bands to get excited about.

Cristall Posted June 14, 2012 Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 In the four years I've been to Sziget, I've only once seen a better line up, so this certainly isn't a disappointing line up to me. But even if I would have been disappointed with the line up, I certainly would go to Sziget. Looking back at the previous editions it never were the crowd pullers that I enjoyed most, but rather the many great acts that are not that famous here, like Goran Bregovic and Leningrad. I didn't know them before I saw them at Sziget, but they make mad parties and make the crowd go crazy. If you like The Pogues, you'll probably like them too. Also in other genres there are always lots of cool acts to discover. I even found a few Hungarian bands I now listen to quite regularly. I don't have the time to search for a lot of Youtube movies now, but here's one of Goran Bregovic at Sziget last year: Other acts I recommend: Che Sudaka Bonaparte Amsterdam Klezmer Band Rotfront Irie Maffia Brains Yonderboi dEUS The Black Seeds Gocoo Elektro Guzzi And the craziest of all Hungarian acts (their music is not so good, but they make a great show): Soerii & Poolek http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Cla3WzHseI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cristall Posted June 14, 2012 Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 (edited) First of all, these are some of the best Hungarian bands that usually all perform at Sziget: Irie Maffia / Hungary / Ragga, reggae, dancehall, hiphop, funk and rock / (Not officially confirmed yet, but they're at Sziget every year, so I expect them this year too) Brains / Hungary / Ragga, DnB / (Not officially confirmed yet, but they're at Sziget every year, so I expect them this year too) Yonderboi / Hungary / Electronica, chillwave, indie / click! Zagar / Hungary / Electronica, alternative / (Not officially confirmed yet, but they're at Sziget every year, so I expect them this year too) Quimby / Hungary / Alternative rock, rock, funk / Pannonnia Allstars Ska Orchestra / Hungary / Ska / Tankcsapda / Hungary / Hard rock, punk rock, heavy metal / (Not officially confirmed yet, but they're at Sziget every year, so I expect them this year too) Edited June 14, 2012 by Cristall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loulouUK Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 Hi! I'll be going to Sziget for the first time this year and coming from uk, does anyone have any advice about what the camping is like, is it worth paying to upgrade to the VIP camping tickets? Or would it be better to stay in a hostel in the city? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
