I would love Sziget to bring back "Day 0" and the festival to take place actually between the 9th and the 15th of August, returning to 7 days.

Me too, but the 6-days-only bit was a mandatory one in the long term contract they signed with the city council.

Sia is not just vocalist, she literally made that song

1015 confirms Green Day. Leaks is so creative with his hints! Do I get tickets for guessing? 😇
 

it only confirms that the fest' will happen from 10th to 15th August lol... as soon as it is official, I change my flights (if possible..) !

(But I wouldn't say no to Green Day to be honest... 🙂

Going to cost us £300 to change ours. Really hope they're not doing it as I fear the backlash will overwhelm the line-up announcement.

They have a whole section dedicated to the date change in the info section on the website, this is really bad from them.

"I’ve already got my flight tickets, what can I do?

Please turn to your flight company to rebook your flight ticket."

I think that’s shocking that; they’ll have known about it well in advance of this that they had to change the dates so it should have been announced as such.

I remember when Werchter changed the dates by a whole weekend for 2015 just to accommodate the Foos (which worked out well…) but they at least announced it months before confirming any bands so people had time to change plans.

    • Another great weekend with family and friends.  We spend most of our time between Obelisk, and second stage due to having young children.  Overpass, Florence Road, Nathan Evans, David Byrne and Alex James were the highlights for me.  Quite enjoyed a dance to Gok Wan on the Saturday too.   Certainly feeling the Latitude blues this week and looking forward to next year.   Also looking forward to all the predictions for next year in the 2027 chat.   Hope everyone had a great festival.    
    • How much is Burnham's success down to Manchester getting a shitton of investment for public transport infrastructure?   There's no doubt he did the work, but the money dumped into Manchester for him to achieve that was huge - the most of any infrastructure project outside London ever. Did that need a mayor, or just the money?
    • Sounds good tbh. 
    • Bristol was the only city in 2012 that voted for a mayor. We had a local independent who was popular, then Marvin Rees won and was so corrupt that Bristol voted to get rid of the position - having just had the WECA mayor position put in place as well.
    • They built a watering system and have been watering the island for the past few weeks to reduce dust, but given the current drought, there will still be dust. They will cover twice as much ground around the main stage with those plastic panels as they did before. They couldn't book Gogol Bordello because the singer was afraid the government would allow Russian security services to capture him if he entered the country. They didn't have much room to be selective about artists. They booked whoever they could get. This year's Sziget will be only about 50% of his original vision. He wanted a dedicated rock stage. They are preparing for a loss of 1.5 billion HUF this year. For some reason, student tickets are not selling in the numbers they had expected. He said that when he talks about the lineup being less important, he doesn't mean Sziget should have a weaker lineup than Primavera. Rather, it should have a similarly strong lineup combined with much more non-musical programming, so people from abroad come here to see the same artists but have a completely different overall experience. He didn't miss Sziget and originally wanted to spend no more than two days a week dealing with it, but now he's working on it full-time and has handed over control of the rest of his businesses.
