Sziget 2023

Recommended Posts

These are some of my predictions, they're not necessarily my "dream" acts (or at least not all of them): 

Headliners: RHCP, Eminem, Billie Eilish, Lady Gaga/Miley Cyrus, The Strokes/Blur (in 2023 it's going to be 10 years since Blur played at Sziget) + a DJ

Subheadliners: Paramore, Miles Kane, Lil Nas X, Mike Shinoda, Bad Bunny, Eagles of Death Metal

Undercard/Freedome names: Maneskin, Olivia Rodrigo, Santigold, Galactic Empire, Fever 333, Mura Masa

Seems like the leaks guy was hinting at Coldplay in the old thread. Solid headliner I guess.

I'd also expect RHCP to play festivals next year since they focused on their own stadium shows this year. They'd be a great booking.

Eminem would also be cool, but damn that shit would be so busy! He's never played here in Hungary before and he's one of the few acts that Hungarians would fork out on a day ticket for en masse.

Would also love to see Arcade Fire, Foals, Alt-J, Pond, Khruangbin and The Strokes.

Generally, I just want to see less of a top-heavy line up next year. The undercard was pretty underwhelming.

Names are interesting ^^ 

but no way 1) eagles of death metal as a sub, and 2) maneskin and olivia rodrigo would never "only" be at freedome. MainStage or nothing.

Since it's their 30th birthday, I suppose the "see you soon" clue given by @Sziget2023_Leaks might indeeed be Coldplay (damn I can't imagone the overcrowded pit lol..).

Then, I'm sure they would try Eminem as a second BIG name, and that's understandable since there were no rap act as headliner this year.

After that... hmm.. Muse are doing their World Tour in 2023 so why not ; female artists is very difficult to guess because so many could : Billie Eilish ? Miley Cyrus ? or a surprise like Katy Perry or Lady Gaga ? way too early to say... Also, why not this ABBA holograms thing, since the abba tribute always is a huge success ^^

I don't see them as Sziget headliners. Maybe if and only if they also bring Josh Homme with them.

Yeah, that's why I wrote Undercard/Freedome.

Does that rule them out? 

I think Wiz Khallifa headlined Sziget year after Volt. 

Well it doesn't rule them out, I guess it just makes them a bit unlikely. They were also at Sziget in 2016 and they also had another concert in Budapest in 2019. So next year at Sziget it would be their 4th concert in Hungary in the past 7 years and it would be their 3rd in the past 4 years.

it happenned many times in the past, that an artist playing one of these 2 festivals, play the other one the year after ^^

Also, for eagles of death metal, I meant "no way subheadliner", but same for headliner lol, they are too small ^^ Queens of the Stone Age, on the other hand... why not 🙂 (if Josh Homme figures his problems out)

Yeah, in my opinion the Main Stage has these spots:

16:00 Undercard

17:30 Undercard

19:30 Subheadliner (sometimes coheadliners)

21:15 Headliner

For EODM I meant the 19:30 o'clock spot on the Main Stage.

If you look at the busy days this year it was Dua Lipa, Justin, Calvin and attic monkeys. I think it will be a few pop acts, not sure how big Olivia is the now but could be a shout next year. More likely to see Coldplay, the big band that appeals to a wide audience like Artic Monkeys. A DJ, Martin Gatrix or along those lines. Then a few pop acts, Harry would be good but I can't see it. I think it missed a rap act this year. Not sure on the budget but I will only be going if some decent acts get announced. 

My daughter wants to go back so just shows that you could put nearly anyone one up and it's about the festival rather than the acts

I think RHCP and Florence will both be in with a shout. Still think Coldplay are just too big, but their 2023 tour dates do seem to finish just before festival season begins so you never know.

Hope the undercard manages to squeeze in some acts like Self Esteem, Sports Team, Confidence Man, Gang of Youths, Fever 333, Foals, Glass Animals etc etc.

    • Not necessarily but it should be, Download have a habit of messing it uo when others get the bookings on point. Good Charlotte I doubt are playing 3rd down and that too 3 that day while dreamy is too strong. I think you'd have one another day to help sell weekend tickets. I also doubt Papa Roach play. 
    • Here's a bit of a wild stab, few placings may be off, and for all I know half of these won't actually be touring next year, but screw it, it's a bit of fun   Pyramid: Sabrina Carpenter, Phoebe Bridgers, TBA (Florence + The Machine), Garbage, The Last Dinner Party, Interpol, Alex James Britpop Classical Other: Chase & Status, Teddy Swims, Clairo, The Kooks, Zara Larsson, Kingfishr, Sports Team, Orbital West Holts: Robyn, Baby Keem, De La Soul, Deltron 3030, JID, Dua Saleh, kwn, Daniela Latila Woodsies: Bonobo, Darkside, TBA (Tame Impala), Laufey, Warmduscher, Wednesday, The Lottery Winners, The Royston Club, Florence Road Park: Patti Smith, Super Furry Animals, Slayyyter, The Cardigans, Skye Newman, Kelly Lee Owens, Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers   Pyramid: Harry Styles, The xx, Richard Ashcroft, The Pogues, Jessie J, Sigrid, Travis Other: Rosalia, Sombr, Mitski, Alex Warren, Holly Humberstone, Cat Burns, Pale Waves, Yard Act West Holts: Basement Jaxx, Elyanna, Clipse, L’Imperatrice, Nation of Language, Jim Legxacy, Yazmin Lacey, RIP Magic Woodsies: Suede, Chvrches, Bleachers, MUNA, The Cribs, Keo, Bleech 9:3, The Lilacs Park: MARINA, Magdalena Bay, Jacob Alon, TBA (Lily Allen performs West End Girl), Getdown Services, Isaac Wood, Snail Mail, Madra Salach Pyramid: Sam Fender, Hozier, David Byrne, Cher, Obongjayar, David Gray, Billy Ocean Other: Doja Cat, Deftones, Addison Rae, Ren, Viagra Boys, Maisie Peters, The Reytons, Hard Life West Holts: Kano, Thievery Corporation, Angine De Poitrine, Thee Sacred Souls, Brooke Combe, Sasha Keable, Master Peace Woodsies: The Wombats, Metronomy, Geese*, Dry Cleaning, EsDeeKid, Sienna Spiro, Cowboy Hunters, Radio Free Alice Park: Big Thief, Laura Marling, MJ Lenderman, Richard Dawson, Oklou, Maruja, Dead Dads Club, Ratboys   *There's always one band booked for Woodsies that ends up being massively under-billed and gets shut down really early. They'd be better off playing somewhere like Other sub, but I could see the G getting them to play a smaller stage while it's still possible
    • Another Kraftwerk one for me today, as just back from seeing them.    
    • Completed my 2026 survey. Put down Super Furry Animals as my most wanted for next year but suspect the moment has gone for that. Popped a big shopping list in the box for who else you would like to see. 🙂
