HI Sziticens,

I wonder how is the Community in the VIP area, I'm a 34 Spanish who's going with my 41 Scottish boyfriend for the first time, travelling from Ireland. How is the community for over 30's?

We don't know anyone, we got the VIP camping for comfort reasons, or we thought we did :) I've read here that everyone is welcome at the unknown camping, is there a meeting point, and I would like to know if there is a facebook page of some sort, not just for the unknown camping, but any.

We have the pre pitched tent, when can we move there, should we choose any specific area in particular?

Thanks everyone, looking forward!

Hey,

@Noeliam, I'll check their Facebook page :)

@mkvre, @Doobie ninja, lol it's good to know there is more :) I saw that the crowd is was a bit younger, but who can say no to the Island of Freedom :) The estimated mileage for the day in the island will be around 420m.

Thank you so much

I don't see another reason why they would tell me that. For me to buy a ticket or to talk about how this awesome new festival which has Kings Of Leon booked as exclusive.

Anyway.

Robbie Williams

Florence

Kasabian

I hope you're right man. I'm worried just because they don't seem to have a proper tour planned (just 2 festivals in the u.s.) so there's a possibility they'll do the same thing in Europe. Anyway, hope you're right :) I love their rock

Love them too. Anyway today Sziget Italia announced Lo Stato Sociale, Fast Animals Slow Kids and Aprés La Classe. They're all going to play on Europe Stage. Very happy for FASK, but I doubt non-italian people would know those names. I bet the only italians here are Diocane and I. Best nickname ever :°)

Romanian births, but very we'll integrated in North Eastern Italy as you can see from my nick :)

(I saw the Italian bands announced, I like Fask and recommend Lo Stato Sociale to all of you who want to get drunk and dance like you're stupid)

I'm from the south but I live in Rome :)

sorry a bit of topic but just wandered if any of you Italian folk are staying in the Alternativa campsite? I am but i'm english, and dont speak Italian (apart from about 3 words) :)

Cant make up my mind on if i want KOL to play Sziget?? saw them years ago at V fest and they were amazing (rained a lot too!)...then saw them at Reading and they were terrible. Then i think they have slowly been going down hill with every album they release. (much like Incubus and Green Day). But i think the crowd will love them so it will create a good vibe, and surely they'll play some of their early (good) stuff :)

I'm in normal camping too but I've been there and it's a very good camping. I'm staying in normal camping cos I don't need any more than showers and bathrooms, but if you're looking for some extras I recommend it. And, as Diocane said, it's only managed by Sziget Italia but it's an international camping and italians are as much as dutch people, for example. :)

I'd imagine Foals are the headliner on Day 2. Either them or Interpol.

They've said Foals are afternoon so I guess Interpol, with maybe a DJ after them, maybe not.

I'm more than happy with Interpol headlining, even though I think it's a terrible choice for Sziget given the rest of the line up. The main stage that day with Foals, Interpol and The Maccabees is good all round. Pity there's literally nothing else for me on the main stage yet unless Kasabian rock up and play their first album in full, which I strongly doubt. I guess Alt-J are decent enough.

This is probably my favourite lineup announcement so far - Avicii will be more fun than Garrix IMO, and I have an ironic fondness for Limp and Hollywood. Gaslight are decent. DJ Marky had that one good song in the 90s I suppose.

Just listening to Cro now too - He's actually pretty good! I'd never heard of him before.

Avicii has those 5-6 anthems that make him the only mainstream dj I'd like to see in this year's festival circuit. At least I can sing, not only drink and dance :)

A very positive thing is that he has not been announced as opening party dj, that makes me think they're trying to book chemical brothers.

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
