Arctic Monkeys - Imagine Dragons

Calvin Harris - ?

Dua Lipa - Billie Eilish

Justin Bieber - ?

Kings Of Leon - ?

Tame Impala  - Florence + The Machine

I think the list could look like this, we're probably getting 3 already named headliners + DJ in the first announcement?

I think...you better stay on the ground...it´s every year like now in the forum.

The expectations are growing and at the end...everybody here in the forum is dissapointed.

It´s my first time in the last 15 years that I did not book my early bird, because my hopes were

dying last year, after a lot of weak szigets the last 5 or 6 times.

Yes, sziget is not only the music, but in 2022 everything wasn´t good. After the owner-switch of

the festival...the music is getting more & more comercial and boring.

So...don´t expect too much.

Believe me - I would love to see a brilliant lineup, and if they present it...I buy my tickets for me and my bro´s.

My fear, if it is Imagine Dragons, is that they've paid them a lot of money which will affect the calibre of other headliners. In the UK at least they have somehow become a band the now plays smaller stadiums. Capacity circa 30 - 40,000. This would put them, I suspect at a higher pay bracket than Kings of Leon and Tame Impala.

Imagine Dragons would be taking the KoL slot ie a smaller rock act. nowhere near the size of AM

I am not sure they would be that expensive, they would be lucky to fill arena's in most of Europe and a poor headliner. Probably one of the quiet nights like Tama. 

So we have them and Billie, not my cup of tea but hopefully we have Sam Fender, Foals and another few good subs. 

I am still going with SHM as the DJ act.

Leaked Primavera Sound lineup, so... Blur has another date on their tour and I see some other interesting names on here 👀

not a leak but fanmade, right from the PS forum in here - still it's based on rumours so all names are kinda likely to happen

I cannot imagine that Imagine Dragons are somehow expensive in comparison to other bands which were there last year.

I can imagine that Kings of Leon for example are more expensive than ID.

While Im not very happy about them, they are not that bad live.

Could have been worse, Major Laser for example 🙂

 

Bieber on the other hand had to be super expensive, maybe they will lower the costs by inviting someone less popular as pop headliner. Plus they will have more budget as Volt was cancelled. I think we are going to be okay next year, wouldnt be too worried about that.

just realized no one has really made any mention of a rap/r&b act. last year was the first really without one in a while, so maybe they will go back to having one

I seem ID about 8 years ago in a venue with less than 2000, so well done to them and they were good but still no Blur or AM. Would Pulp be in with a shout? 

My point was that they will not cost the same as AM or Beiber. 

Hopefully there is plenty cash left over for some top names and subs

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
