Sziget 2015

[ilbeyene]

If you loved Sziget you can try Balaton Sound which is in July and it's organized by the Sziget Management. The lineup is all about EDM music but the location is amazing (even better than Sziget's one) and the mood is great. When you walk into the festival area you can see that everything is so "Sziget". The atmosphere is a little bit different obviously, but last year I went and had so much fun I'm going back this year

Robbie Williams

[ilbeyene]

Day -1 will be sold out for sure.

Robbie Williams

oh jesus christ!!!! im going to be as far away from that stage as possible when he's on!!

[Diocane]

Ahah stupid people complaining... Sziget have never had a headliner for day -1 (except last year).. So Robbie Williams didn't take the place of someone else (like some more alternative names or some metal shit). Just a great pop name that will sell a lot of tickets, and do a great show for all the people like me who want to dance and drink and have fun. Ah, I'm not a Robbie's fan, the artists I'd like to see are chemical brothers linkin park floggin molly.. But I'm excited for this day -1 because I'm going for the festival, and you should do it too. Trust me it's so much better enjoying every act instead of behaving like you're fuckin haters and only-rock-and-roll-people take it easy, don't pretend to be tough

I'm thinking of going this year but all my mates are anti festival for some reason, I'd feel like an absolute weirdo going by myself but I'm tempted to man it out

[Noeliam]

I advise you to go any way. There's a "Camp Unknown" for people going alone. It's not official but we had so much fun last year. I'm sending you the link in pm.

I went alone last year, i didn't even join the camp unknown group and still had a great time and met lots of great people, it's definitely given me the confidence to do more things like this alone, that's why i'm heading to rock werchter alone this year.

Doing Rock Werchter alone is much more easier than Sziget. Because Werchter is all about music, there's no need to go with someone who could distract you, do it alone, make your time schedule at the festival than you wont notice that you're alone anyway.

Playlist updated, for those of us with Spotify!

Sziget 2015

Very dance-centric update, but there's a few in there I'll go and see!

[Uncle Liam]

Well that is a shocker.

That's me done.

[Noeliam]

- 07.01: Slash feat. Myles Kennedy & The Conspirators (US)
- 07.02: Ignite (US), Wilkinson (UK), Bastille (UK)
- 07.03: David Guetta (F)
- 07.04: Fatboy Slim (UK), Nouvelle Vague (official) (F)

Won't come! They have been announced for VOLT!

[Uncle Liam]

Well that's good news surely about Guetta.

I'm amazed they are STILL doing end parties with DJ's after his disastrous set in 2013.

And now we've got a headliner who, lets face it, should be playing in the old party Arena or a late night slot in the A-38 from what I gather. Not even got a proper album out.

And it's the same bands again... Enter Shikari, The Subways, Ting Tings, AWOL Nation, Jaguar Skills, Leningrad...

I was a bit sad I wasn't going this year, but now I'm not.

[Noeliam]

I can't understand you as it will be my second Sziget and I haven't seen most of the bands (only Robbie Williams), and we don't have lot of concerts in Lebanon!

But still, Sziget is the less lineup-dependant festival, and these names, which aren't bad, are only the begining.

[Zero_Newnab]

It is only 19% of the lineup, to be fair!

For me it is a bit dance heavy. If we could get some rocky headliners I'd be satisfied!

[king_oxymoron]

We've had barely any mainstage artists right? I'm not blown away but I'm not panicking..

[Noeliam]

Robbie, Florence, Garrix, Alt-J and Gogol Bordello for the main tage (5/28)

Only 3 headliners between these (and a DJ can still play after Florence, and a headliner before Garrix). So at least 4 tba, maybe 6.

[ilbeyene]

If last year we got Outkast before Calvin Harris (who is so much bigger than Garrix), I'm expecting a band at least as big as Outkast are before Martin Garrix. So I'd say we should get 5 headliners and a big electro act after Florence for the "Opening Party".

[Dom Wall]

Faithless playing SonneMonSterne in Germany at the start of August, gotta be a good shout.

[weird science]

There should be Muse. Only Muse can make my mind up.
