when you know and like their music, these artists aren't boring. The musicians play very well, no mistakes, unlike some smaller bands. It's a matter of taste ^^

I'd like to see Sziget getting a name unannounced so far, almost an exclusivity. Killers and Strokes are good, BUT ... the line up wouldn't be great. Just good. I know that bands like Ghost and Avenged Sevenfold aren't "Szigetable" anymore lol, but still, I'm expecting a surprise.

Well, that name's certainly not Billie Eilish, she's playing Lowlands, Pukkelpop, Rock En Seine and R&L this summer. I still wonder (hope) whether it might be Green Day.

Of course, it's all subjective! I named them boring after seeing them both live and didn't like it at all. Even if I used to listen to them a lot back in the days. But I wanna point that if they have acts like AM or KOL has headliners, there's not shame/decrease to have The Killers headlining in 2023 🙂

RHCP don't have anything scheduled after July 23

Lowlands sold out in 15 minutes. Since The Netherlands is an important market for Sziget, it’s not a good sign for Sziget I guess

Lowlands always sells out very quick.

Any idea what resale tickets usually go for once the initial buzz of ticket release day dies down?

I reckon we are still two or three weeks away from an announcement so doubt we'll hear from @Sziget2023_Leaks for at least another ten days or so.

Very happy for him/her to prove me wrong though.....

I did my research and last year @Sziget2023_Leaks had already given away some clues by this time (2-3 weeks away from the second announcement). 

so @Sziget2023_Leaks …we are (not really patiently) waiting 😇

New names for Balaton Sound are coming in 2 days, I assume we'll get the new names for Sziget somewhere around 22/23/24 of February 🤷‍♂️

I've been working on the basis of us getting the names on 23 Feb. Any earlier, it's a bonus.

From their Insta: New names on end of Feb. or early March

I cannot imagine Aphex Twin at THIS SZIGET, but would be AWESOME

Very unlikely for Sziget I think

He'd have to either sub (in the day so no) or play the tent (too small)

he's quite expensive too - just doesn't fit with their new demographic well really

😞 Is he really that expensive? I mean.. atleast he deserves huge fees... would be awesome for a night slot in a38

[boibai]

does anyone here think there might be a chance that Tash Sultana is a part of the lineup in the upcoming announcement?

Last part of their tour; as far as I've seen, is in Rome Italy on the 26th of July.

I think Sziget needs a second capacity stage between Main and a38. A38 is my fav stage on Sziget, but sometimes is too small for some artist. Rufus du Sol at 19:30 was terrible, but they were to big to A38.

I'm also curious why was it terrible? My friend and I had such a good time at their concert 🌞

[co0psy]

For last 3 headliners I'd guess: Kendrick Lamar, the 1975 & The Strokes
