From this one, I'd take Rina Sawayama and Aurora. think that's all lol... (yep, Rina would be great, not a huge fan but I recognize that she fits perfectly ^^)

 

EDIT : and KSHMR of course, didn't see him !

Would love Aurora. Saw in 2016 at a festival, not knowing who she was, and she was fantastic. This is 4 minutes of exquisiteness that just builds and builds:

I would do anything for Zara, I hope it's true.

I hear a lot on here that Sziget goes for a lot of British acts because of the large brit population attending. seems to make sense, but why travel all the way to Budapest to see someone from your own nation? like I'm from New York, and if a bunch of NY bands/artists were playing in a European city, I am not sure I would be anymore enticed to go than if some European bands/artists were playing. Anyone get what I'm saying?

Have you ever been to a UK festival? With UK weather?

Basically for me sziget ticks every box that I want in a festival, well maybe not 2022 version but in previous years.

Sunshine

Long long festival

Cheaper beer, a lot cheaper

Better atmosphere 

More varied age group.

Was there in 22, loved it, but with the dust, they have to do something...

It's going to take you a minimum of 30 hours of flying and £500+ to do it, though. We can do it in 6 for less than half the price. 

It's more like you going from NY to Texas for the weather.

AURORA at Sziget would be such a pleasant surprise!

This year she did Campus Festival in Hungary though so I don't think they would book her again, but at the same time Bastille keeps coming back every year so anything is possible.

Fingers crossed.

She did sziget in 2016 a d 2018 as well, so I think it's possible

@Sziget2023_Leaksis there any chance of sza or lana?? they are my favs, both releasing albums and probably sza’s will be huge.

I saw Lana Del Rey at Latitude festival about four years ago. I have never seen a field empty as quickly. Love her music but her performance was as wooden as they come.

Lana would only headline.. and her "spot" is already taken, so my guess is she has 0.01% chance of being here.

I agree with @swelsbyuk, she boring AF

yea I can agree with that.. not a huge performer just nice songs and a pretty big fanbase. 

sza on the other hand would sell a lot..she s gotten really big this year. her album is top 10 on apple music and not even released yet

are you sure it is not a personnal judgment..? I've checked her, and besides the US, particulary in Hungary, she's almost unknown

[Matt86]

Doja Cat and Ava Max are above for example

Xavier Rudd in Europe in the summer, would love him to play again. My high light in 2019.

@Sziget2023_Leaks, among the improvements, are the return of the fireworks and the Color party planned ? I can see some festivals already announced it, so I'm wondering... These were really important elements of the festival a few years ago...

We have enough dust without the colour party already haha. I would love the flag party and the others we've had before tho.

I heard that Dust party is planned instead. Lot of fun, ecological and less expensive.
