He is not only big in the electronic music scene, he is big in general right now. if you say so.. like kristofm said, depends on which bubble you are living in. But, he is an EDM act, no doubt about that. The only one I can compare him to is Daft Punk in terms of being EDM and popular regardless of being EDM. Maybe just not my cup of tea.

I've had nothing but claustrophobic experiences when DJs of similar size did Party Arena (Alan Walker/Steve Aoki). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jahowes Posted March 12 Report Share Posted March 12 Yeah I think/hope fontaines would sub, just not sure which day they are playing on yet according to Sziget site or their website. I'm not sure if Raye is big enough to Sub in Hungary. Sounds like Skrillex is quite likely, but be interesting to see if they would put Fred Again, Four Tet, Raye & Skrillex on the Main stage if all playing on the 12th.

I am also dying to find out when Fontaines D.C. will perform. According to their own website they will play in Germany on August 9 and in Slovenia on August 12 so I guess that narrows it down a little bit.

Will only be there for 3 days and choose for 8-10 Aug. Annoying that we’re halfway March without a full line-up and day-to-day breakdown. Frustrating to go without knowing what you will get..

Glastonbury line-up being announced this week (Friday seems favourite). Can't imagine Sziget will want to announce around the same time as a comparison is unlikely to be favourable! My guess would be next Thursday 21 March. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judging from the leaks and everything, I doubt that anyone who hasn't bought a ticket yet will buy it after second announcement anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It tends to be a Tuesday or Thursday. Leaks has previously stated we won't have to wait beyond 14 March but, if that was still the case, I'm sure they would have started to promote the announcement by now. So next Tuesday or Thursday. And my money's on Thursday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last sunday I received an email that said more names are coming 'very soon'. In the email right before the first announcement, they named the exact date the first announcement would take place. The fact that they didn't do that this time might be because they're still waiting on the last confirmations.

The following week is the run up to Easter, people are travelling, seeing family, have holidays booked etc. Their focus won't be on the festival, the announcement could be missed/ignored by many. EDIT: And the longer the announcement is left, the more people will have chosen an alternative festival to attend if their 'full' announcement is already out there.

So Sad Simon Posted March 12 Report Share Posted March 12 Wife and I and our friends have decided that if Sziget hasn't announced by next weekend then we're going with Mad Cool. Prices of flights and accommodation are rising weekly so need to book something and I can't book Sziget based on the current line-up and the promise of bigger and better names to come.

poelim Posted March 12 Report Share Posted March 12 Totally understand people going to other festivals. This is just taking too long. The longer they wait the less tickets they will sell.. still don’t understand why they didn’t just announce their lineup in more phases and include the last headliner in the last one. Would def sell some more tickets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they would sell more tickets or maybe they would alienate people because it would become obvious they are doing it a bit gung-ho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CCester Posted March 12 Report Share Posted March 12 (edited) The National is in Ireland early August. Here’s hoping that they are desperate enough to call them back.
