Sziget 2014

[SG1982]

Happy with the announcements so far, 2 excellent headliners in Placebo QOTSA and a few really good sub headliners in Klaxons and Jake Bugg.

Interested to see what Michael Kiwanuka will be like, not really my thing but his music is quite infectious.

Roll on some more top announcements!

[Noeliam]

Frequency is going to announce more names in a few hours... We already share Macklemore, Skrillex and Placebo.

[marci14]

Biffy Clyro are playing Frequency on August 13th... I really wish Sziget management bring them again!! Best headliner of last year in my opinion.

PS. NEW NAMES coming next week! Wow, first announcement was late but now it seems they're going faster!

[payneruk]

Just curious. What age is everyone here who's going?

[Noeliam]

Yep @Marci we waited 3 weeks for the second annoucement, now it's only 2 weeks! they also said "All styles".

@Payneruk: I'm 19 yo! my first festival was very small, in France (~15.000 persons i think) but i saw Noel Gallagher so it was worth a million dollars It will be my first "big" festival with camping etc.

If my friends get their visa we will be 5-6 guys around that age! We are from Lebanon!

What about you?

27 and the youngest in my group is 24.

1st festival was Global Gathering (dance music) and the last 3 Glastonbury's. This will be my 1st festival abroad.

[Uncle Liam]

I'll be 31 on the Friday of Sziget this year.

[ilbeyene]

I'm 26 and this will be my 6th Sziget in a row.

[LEOH35]

Im 18, there will be about ten of us the same age in our group. Been to benicassim 12 &13 this will be my third festival

[DaveyGravy]

I'll be 31 on the Friday of Sziget this year.

I'll be 36 the day before! (which I guess makes me the old git!)

[spudling]

No I am the old git 46 this Friday.

[DaveyGravy]

Yep, you win!

[jjason]

Can I submit a late entry.

We are a group of 7 and I'm 44.

Three of our group are 47 year old so a new low (or high as far as age) has been reached.

This will be my third Sziget in a row and I will also be going to Festival no 6 in North Wales in September, again for the third time in a row.

Ubsolutely love a festival and Sziget is just about as good as it gets

I'm not liking this age thing. Does it really matter?

I'm 30, the girl who is coming with me is ten years younger, and we're camping with people all ages in between.

I think when I went in 2012 the people I ended up camped with were all younger than me, I didn't realise that until I got back and we added each other on Facebook.

[Noeliam]

Well, I hope there will be more people (girls) around my age

[payneruk]

Do we know what day the announcements are this week?

[ilbeyene]

No, but the last announcement was 13 days ago, so maybe tomorrow cause it's exactly two weeks from that?

[Noeliam]

On Sziget Italia facebook page, they said that they can't tell us the exact date but it could be anytime!

In the picture they shared they said "all styles"... they could give us a style/day i'm ok with that ^^

[Uncle Liam]

Looks like it'll be tomorrow now. Or possibly Saturday.

Or they lied to us.
