And that also makes her kinda unlikely for Sziget, i think... Didn't spot that one, surprised she's not doing werchter then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In past experience (though that may not mean anything year on year) are there going to be more 'biggish' names added or is the first batch generally most of the high profile names? The way they've got Sam Fender on his own above the rest, while there's six names above the lower line on the Tame Impala day would imply to me there's more to be added to that line? I think I've seen this confirmed in the past, but I take it it's very easy getting to and from the festival from the centre? Already seen some great apartments at a very reasonable price so going to get one of those booked soon, just wondered if there was a better 'area' of the city to stay in? EDIT: Also just noticed they have Fontaines DS playing Monday... whoever that is 😄 There should be more but AM is a huge name vs Tame Impala - there will be a few of those purple acts under AM but don't expect anyone massive. Have a look at the Ed Sheeran day in 2019 for instance vs some of the other days, completely awful undercard as they know Ed will shift thousands upon thousands of tickets. Sam Fender is not a bad support at all though honestly - hopefully some other decent acts to come 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends how much you eat and drink I guess. We take around 30 euros per person, per day but you could easily spend much more or much less.

Definitely more of a drinkers festival tbh. Maybe because it has such an international crowd so many need to pass customs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect poor ticket sales are much more likely than concerns about the war. Allows them to save face a little too. Budapest and Kyiv are as far apart as Edinburgh and Paris, but I suspect the fact that Hungary shares a border with Ukraine would have spooked some people into not buying.

The sheer capital distance is not the point to be taken into account: the border is much more of an interesting variable. I don't think that Sziget will have any selling problems, no matter what the situation in Ukraine - as far as the war stays in that country and does not get exported. Another point to consider is that if even the silliest missile lands on the biggest and emptiest field in any of the NATO countries, you can say goodbye to *any* festival faster than you can say palinka. But, I mean, at that point I would not care for festivals anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However the smallest mistake (rocket accidentally landing in Poland) and we could become part of a full blown war between Russia and the NATO. Festivals will then be the least important thing in the world. If Russia succeeds they will go to Moldova eventually. Let’s just hope for the best and hope the two countries come to a peace agreement. Live and enjoy every day as much as you can especially in times like these! I can’t wait to go to SZiget!!
