Who the hell are Goldband, and why do they warrant their own individual announcement?

Interesting that they've added them, alongside Joost. Must be focusing on improving tickets sales there.

I remember Ronnie Flex & The Fam being booked for Main Stage in 2022, they must have a strong Dutch market

Sziget historically had lots of Dutch attendees, one of the reasons - it was much cheaper then Dutch festivals even including travel costs. But since 2022 this advantage started to disappear.

Placebo playing a headline gig in Vienna, August 14th. I think we can count them in guys?

When I went for the first time (2014). There was a capacity of 60.000 a day, 16.000 of them were Dutch… Numbers are quite the same but capacity grow.

From last year.

Interesting take on the festival scene in general this year: https://consequence-net.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/consequence.net/2024/01/festival-headliner-underwhelming-2024/amp/?amp_gsa=1&amp_js_v=a9&usqp=mq331AQGsAEggAID#amp_tf=From %1%24s&aoh=17065946805743&csi=0&referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com&ampshare=https%3A%2F%2Fconsequence.net%2F2024%2F01%2Ffestival-headliner-underwhelming-2024%2F

In what way would an alien represent Goldband?

I'd rather have a six-hour-long set by Macklemore. Every night.

Apparently, Justice is touring in the US in August, so they won't be at Sziget then, but I would reaaally love to see them live

And apparently, it's not true. They have just been announced for the Field Day festival. I would also like to see a few artists from this lineup besides them.

I guess this makes pretty much any of these acts possible for Sziget. Fingers crossed for Jorja.

I guess we now know why Sziget was in such a rush to announce Goldband yesterday.

Also seems quite disappointing for a festival that always manages to get a good lineup

Looks like most late summer festivals are struggling 

there are some good names on it which i love to have at sziget but nothing that really wows me

In comparison, Open'er really smashed it this year.
