Maybe it's because I know so few acts on the undercard that I just assume they're cheaper than 2019's acts!

I'm with you on that, but also understand guitar bands are old hat and perhaps don't sell as well as other genres.

Sziget press conference will be on this Friday. Usually they're announcing there the stages, the schedule and the last bigger names so we can expect new acts this week.

Where did you find this info?

Isn’t it also so that Dua Lipa and Justin Bieber take lots of money. They are big acts we shouldn’t forget that!

For me this is an amazing line up but I can understand that the guitar minded people don’t like it that much.

Nothing exciting from the articles that were published about the press conference. There will be one more price increase,-1 and 0 days are gone forever,ticket exchange and admission will be moved across the bridge and an area will be completely closed off because of the fauna. There will be new new venues and new genres,stages will be moved around a bit. There’s a ticketswap party arena and they will launch a budapest card sziget edition

Is the Budapest card Sziget edition not already announced? Or is it another card?

Very curious about the new venues…

Based on the current Clashfinder of Sziget 2022 - Riles, Beabadoobee and Fontaines at A38 open up considerable spots at the main stage. 🧐

[Newjem]

• Alan Walker, Steve Aoki, Apashe, NGHTMRE + Elrow and Q-Dance take-overs confirmed for Arena.
• some interesting names for Europe Stage: Nova Twins, cleopatrick, Surma, Shelter Boy, Lenny, Yellowstraps, SYML, STAKE, Pabst, The Psychoctic Monks and local bands such as Duckshell, The Anahit, Platon Karataev and Saya Noé
• The concept of Hip-hop Stage will be similar to Europe Stage, mostly European acts: Audio88 & Yassin, Úlfur Úlfur, KNEECAP or South Korean collective YNC will perform there, DJ sets will take place later in the night.

what does it means ? thanks to the moving in ticket, we can enter the island 2 days before the festival begns, so what is this " -1 and 0 days are gone" ?

They used to refer to the first 2 official days as -1 and 0 day. Some of the stages and areas were closed during those days (even the bigger ones like A38 and Arena). It has nothing to do with moving-in tickets, you can still come 2 days before the festival begins.

Thanks. An interesting, if long, read.

Not filling me with confidence that we're going to get much more in the way of indie/guitar acts being announced this year though!

I guess line-up of Europe Stage could save it (a little bit). Nova Twins, cleopatrick and Pabst are great start...

[eyebrain]

They mention giving local artists a spot at the main stage to boost export of Hungarian music. They've always had some but this is a confirmation not to expect anything that big to fill empty slots

For me better than Jade Bird. But that’s a taste I guess.
