I would say they're too old for pretty much every festival in the EU.

Don't think they have a lot of fans younger than 35 

Fantastic band, although I am 45. ?

Big fan too and I’m only 40! Violet is one of the few songs I remember hearing for the first time....it was on top of the pops ?

One of my all time fave festival sets were Hole at Glastonbury in 1999.

Aftermovie 2019 is here! Can you see yourself?

It is very short this year but intense ?

Where is this?

Don't get me wrong, Sziget is a nice festival, but I prefer the ones with more artists per day - e.g. Reading has 10-12 acts on R1 stage which is A38 equivalent, offering 6-8. More artists mean a higher chance to find something interesting. But perhaps it's just me not having as eclectic taste as festival bookers ?

Sziget is too long, thats why they have only 4-5 artists per stage, and only 2 stages

That's exactly why I like it, I treat it as afestival holiday. ?

my first choice of festival would be long ones, sziget or roskilde are the first choices.

I'd have something to say about the aftermovie, but I don't want to attract @thetime hate on me (jk ❤️ )

[swelsbyuk]

I don't dislike the aftermovie but it's not a patch on the last few years' efforts.

I mean, they're trying to condense seven days of fun into two minutes - it was never going to be great!

In honesty, it looks more like the trailer for the aftermovie than the aftermovie itself!

Fingers crossed it means we might have an announcement soon though (although I don't get paid until the end of the month so Prime anytime soon would be a tad annoying!)

What is Prime? Just a load of merch or is the ticket price cheaper as well?

It's the cheapest ticket price (only by ten or twenty euros) and a small load of merch. Think last year's included a beanie, a bag and some badges and bits - probably 30 euros worth if bought at the festival.

Can we tell Harry Styles is nailed on, if touring in August?

I suspect so. Where would he be positioned? Sub main stage?

i guess co head with some dj

[swelsbyuk]

What about Springsteen? Looks likely he's playing europe next summer. Classed as a heritage act? Or such an icon that Sziget might be interested?

[#1SzigetFan]

Just saw that now the Sziget staff released the new version of MyMusic app, so we have now another way to tell them what we want in the lineup.  And this time we can enter up to 10 acts. Sadly, as in previous years, it doesn't let me to type in Eagles of Death Metal. Here is my list:

What's the point of this unrealistic wishes? At least 5 acts that won't perform on Sziget 100%.

If people only went for realistic wishes it would leave Sziget inside a tired comfort zone. Unrealistic wishes push the boundaries.

[Steve.]

I know its unrealistic but they did call it “dream line up” ?

[#1SzigetFan]

System of a Down already have a gig in Budapest, in June, so they won't play Sziget.

No I know and it’s mad expensive and almost sold out too...I’m thinking nova rock to watch them next year.

Your dream line up is pretty close to my nightmare line up ?

Think this highlights the difficulty that bookers have. They can't possibly please everyone.

[Yelo, the Parmiggiana]

I kept it as realistic as possible
