Maybe that Main Stage slot was meant to be for a Hungarian act but they saw that Mumfords day isn't selling well, so they brought Tom Grennan in.

I suspect you're bang-on with this. 

He's headlining Summer Well in Romania and I was surprised he wasn't announced to begin with

Is he likely to sub, do we think? He's certainly bigger than Arlo Parks in the UK.

He should definitely sub Mumford and Sons, but I guess it depends if that position has been promised to, and included in the contract of, another act or not.

I don’t necessarily think that works. I’m pretty sure he is not a well known name in Hungary at all.

So it won’t sell tickets for Hungarians. And most people from the UK buy a full week ticket I suspect.

So I personally doubt that it will particularly help Saturday ticket sales.

Is Arlo Parks known in Hungary?

You are missing the point. No one bought a day ticket for Arlo either. Im not saying there arent a few thousand people in Hungary who like him, but not nearly strong enough to impact daily sales.

So I only argued against the point that they brought him in to increase saturday daily sales. And that wont happen in any significant way.

He's playing on Sunday so his inclusion definitely won't increase Saturday ticket sales 😉

They commented on one of their posts that it's coming this month 

I still wonder why they posted it on the website and then took it down

they added tons of now acts for all the small stages.

maybe they're switching running order etc.  as they book more acts and want to give it all at once.

Ok Taylor Swift just announced her European show for 2024.. guess what, she has no dates in Hungary, AND she's available in August, like she has a show the 9 august in Vienna, and the 16 august in London... Considering Sziget will celebrate their 30th anniversary...

1st headliner confirmed ^^

It's a stadium & arena tour, so if she comes to Sziget they will have to pay her a lot to have her as a "festival exclusive" or something.

(Pink in 2017 was a great catch, she only did 3 festivals at this time, and the 2 others were "1 day = 1 artist" festival stuff) And yeah, the undercard was amazing 🥰

+, Taylor Swift being free for 6 days during Sziget 2024 period ... no..? you don't think that's the kind of artist Sziget would target for a 30th anniversary ? I'm like 90% sure. And ready to apologize if I'm wrong lol 😅

But hey, I wish she's not here in 2024, I'm not a fan 😕

No, she's way too expensive and has her own stage/production which is not suited for festivals. It looks like she's not even doing Glastonbury. And don't take all these anniversaries too seriously, it's just a smart marketing which helps them selling tickets.

They will, ask Rihanna.

Most of the stage times are back on the app as of today!

First advice everyone: if you don't like the Girl in Red / Billie Eilish style (unfortunately, I do), go to Bohemian Betyars, it's going to be fun.

    • Tbf that happened to me in 2022 so not a one off. 40 euros to drive down 3 streets. I'd have done a runner but the reason for getting the taxi in the first place is cos I couldn't walk no more. 
    • I was fully prepared (waterproof jacket, extra pair of socks, foldable umbrella), but after four hours in the rain (from Geese through Oklou to Florence Road), it was just too much. Already at the hotel, let's hope tomorrow's better.
    • It’s rare that I watch question time, but I almost felt sorry for Kenyon, he seemed like a guy just brought off the street which effectively is what he was, made worse by the fact Burnham and the Tory guy were very strong debaters. I think Burnham was very aware not to go too hard on Kenyon and risk him getting sympathy, in fact he pretty much ignored him.
    • Shambles. Transport and comms garbage. Been looking forward to this since last June and have never been to a more disorganised festival in 30+ years.  Why we were told the whole festival was cancelled for the night if they had put back shows for a few hours?  Pissed off to say the very least and put a huge downer on the rest of the weekend.
