Sziget Festival 2018

[#1SzigetFan]

Sziget 2018 will take place between the 8th and 15th of August 2018.

The official Facebook event is this one: Sziget Festival 2018 - Island of Freedom / official event.

Fingers crossed for a better line-up! I would love Arctic Monkeys & Queens of the Stone Age.

According to the official website, early bird tickets will go on sale on the 8th of November.

Won’t be going next year, wife expecting in March and would be quite rude to disappear for 10 days. 

Best festival I’ve been to so everyone who’s thinking about it, should try it out.

The freebie shirts for Prime are interesting: there's four of them and you get to pick between the following themes:

• against racism
• peace
• a green planet
• human rights

I did it

Actually I wrote my degree thesis (more than 200 pages) on festivals too with a focus on Sziget in the last chapter.

Good luck!

I do a festival abroad every year and always had a rule to never go back, but after doing Sziget this year we've decided to book flights and go back next year.  Hoping for a better line-up but the experience was incredible.

Did 3 times in a row and couldn't last summer!

Can't miss 2 years...

We really should do an efest meeting this time... your beer on me, if you bring speakers and put on "Sweatpants" by Childish  

[ilbeyene]

And it's gonna be my 10th in a row. Once you start it's hard to stop.

That sounds good to me haha!  I've seen Gambino live 3 times, his songs are always on any playlist I make.  I'm not sure about a beer though, but those Sziget cocktails buckets are something else!

We can finally choose our dream line-up for Sziget 2018. Fingers crossed for a way better one than this year!

Here are my choices:

[Noeliam]

We have one in common  Although I would also love AM, QOTSA, Jamie T, The Killers and Nick Cave as well.

[SkaPanda]

Here are my wishes and I made a constantly updated list with the possible artists on my blog: http://sound-check.blog.hu/2017/09/27/sziget-2018-eselyesek

My favourite festival...i've been there in 2007/2008/2009/2010/2013/2014/2015/2017... last year lineup wasn't the best,so i suggest:

[Davidoff]

I was there last year and loved it, I like the suggestions so far but I feel it maybe a bit more dance/pop acts. I would live to see Arcade Fire/QOTSA/Gorillaz/Noel or Liam. I can also see a Scottish act like Franz or Snow Patrol as they are in Europe in the summer. Maybe further down a few acts like D Bryne/Thiefs/Wolf Alice/Stormzy or Tiny  and a few dance acts like Avici/Diplo headlining a few nights.  Florance for the opening night as there are not that many big female acts in Europe at that time. Thats if they do the same as before and having a big Female act on the first night

summer well already drops its first name tomorrow (probably a headliner) so we will have a clue about a name for something like third down main stage or tent headliner
