Sziget Festival 2024

[Mondo-kun]

European metal festivals in August continue to announce their line-ups. As I said before, absolutely not Sziget's profile now, but since they booked Frank Carter, Coheed and Cambria and Clutch for previous editions then some "more mainstream" heavy acts like Architects, Motionless in White or Flogging Molly (all will be around) can pop up there next year.

Also Rise Against and The Kooks are in Germany on August 16-18th.

I would love to see The Kooks, I've been listening to their msuic since 2018 and still didn't have a chance to see them

Don't give me hope haha

Funny thing if that clue is going to be indeed Blink-182 and the first names to be released on Halloween or Christmas because of the "And we'll have Halloween on Christmas" lyrics.

Finally got round to filling in my Wishmachine. Disappointed to see that Gang of Youths weren't an option. Their last couple of albums have been superb and their show at Sziget in 2019 seemed to go down well. 

Anyway, I went with: 

Miley - banger after banger

The Hives - seen them twice this year and their live show is one of the most entertaining I've ever seen

Vampire Weekend - never seen them live but their back catalogue would provide a fantastic, chilled sub setlist

Fred Again.. - it was him, Bicep or Chemical Brothers for a bit of electro and I'd take any of them in a heartbeat

Paramore - just a great, entertaining rock band. I'd be very happy with these, Green Day or Blink 182 for rock headliner

Honestly, Fred Again.. could be a solid headliner/co-headliner alongside some good pop act. In the vein of Lorde-Macklemore or Shawn Mendes-Kygo of previous years.

Foo Fighters and The Hives are ruled out

[SweetJesus]

They will play in Budapest, but not on Sziget, according to Bfree (Slovenian travel agency).

The Hives' last date is 8 August so they could still be a possibility. Fingers crossed, they're so, so good live.

It is, they are offering arrangements for concerts since we barrely do host any 🫣

But i'm not sure about Foos info, it could be legit or just a guessing game since these are the typical tours cities around.

@Sziget2024_Leaks care to fuel the Fred again.. hype train? 👀

Lido Sounds has just dropped it's first wave of bands! Maybe there might be some possibilities here? Thinking about Parov Stelar, Sam Smith and maybe Idles again? I must confess, Idles blew me away. Soap & Skin would also be an addition to Sziget I'd say would be a possibility when it comes to Europe Stage.

It's a June festival, Sziget is in August, so same answer as every year : European acts are still possible, American ones much less..

Why ed sheeran?

He was at Sziget a couple of years ago right?

not that that would rule him out considering multiple artists have been there the for a few times, but i thought ed sheeran was a “big name” back then, would they book him again as big name?
