Sziget 2022

[iamdebrii]

Just a thought: could we be getting 2 rap co-headliners on different days (A$AP Rocky/Stormzy) as announced in 2020 as opposed to a main rap headliner? I believe someone said Kendrick was out of the question this year and even so, it would have been to recent of a booking to bring him back so soon.

If not, my money's still on Tyler the Creator or The Weeknd

A$AP Rocky is opening for the RHCP concert in Budapest, he's unlikely to play at Sziget too.

If they aren't announced as a Balaton Sound headliner it's basically a done deal for Sziget no?

FFS. They must be really cheap as I can see no other reason to keep booking them!

Any band that is happy to headline alongside someone called Timmy Trumpet deserve all the stick they receive.

Looks like they will be there. Not a headliner for me but with some decent acts added it will soften the blow. . 

What's the chance of Madness playing 🤣

How likely is Royal Blood to come?

Major Lazer were also announced as headliners for the cancelled 2020 Sziget edition, so I wouldn't be surprised to see them announced once again...

So many acts on there that I'd like to see in the second announcement and yet it looks like we're getting Major Shittin' Lazer.

If we do, the announcement of these might soften the blow: Foals, Stormzy, Of Monsters and Men, Glass Animals, Fever 333 and Amyl would soften the blow.......slightly.

Fever333 and Glass Animals play at Lowlands so I do expect them at Sziget as well.

Finger in the air time. Of the 40 acts already announced, how many are likely NOT to be playing the main stage or A38 stage? Just trying to work out how many more 'known' acts are due (approx 60 in total playing the two stages). Are we halfway there?

I believe The Strokes, A$AP Rocky, Khalid & FKA Twigs are out of the question atm, making room for a few sub/co/headliners.

If memory serves, blackbear won't make it either.

Of the 40 announced, I suspect around 30 of them will be playing one of the two main stages. Which means we're half way there (whoa, livin' on a prayer). Ahem...sorry.

If Major Lazer must be here, please put a great act at the same moment on the Mastercard stage...

First announcement of Untold Festival, Romania. Shared some names with Sziget before.

[Davidoff]

I think this confirms that they will be there. Maybe some other acts from there, I can see Ann Marie and Ritchie Hawtin in with a shout and maybe Guetta replacing Calvin Harris. Throw in a few acts from Lowlands and that will be it? 

I hope Lazer play the Friday or Saturday and thats the nights I will send in town 🙂 

Balaton must be in the next few days so we hopefully will have a better idea after that

Not until the 14th at the earliest.

Noge Erez has a hugh hole in her tour that fits sziget so i guess she'll be there too.

and i will be sooo happy about it!

Sounds like Sziget isn't going to announce again until beginning-to-mid March then.

With Dua Lipa opening and Arctic Monkeys closing the festival (along with a distinct lack of rumours) I'd say it's looking less and less likely that there will be a 'mega' act this year. Which is disappointing.

However, it does imply that the undercard will be stacked (the budget's got to be spent somewhere!) So, I have high hopes for the next announcement. Especially as I've blown a huge wedge on VIP tickets!

I can't help but wonder if their latest post confirms what you're saying.

Rock Werchter just announced their final names. C'mon Sziget, pull your finger out!

Great lineup, expecting Sziget to book some pop names from Wercher lineup, (Anne Marie as perfect example) hoping for some rock ones 🙂

Amongst others, Rag n' Bone seems like a perfect fit for 7pm Main Stage and has no Hungary dates afaik.

I'm also calling Maneskin (whose previous Hungary gig has been postponed), Michael Kiwanuka, MEUTE, Keane and Disclosure just in case our friend Leaks wants to give us a nod.
