Sziget 2025

Recommended Posts

My prediction for 6 headliners:

EDM: calvin harris / tiesto (maybe this time cos he has never performed yet at sziget) instead of the ordinary garrix/harris/guetta pattern…

rock: maneskin (theres quite huge demand from visitors, subscribers from forums and online platforms)

pop: troye sivan / tate mcrae (something new for the younger generations)

rap: lil nas x / doja cat

surprise: shakira

other: weeknd or another indie rock act (like hozier, cos thats another common critics to sziget that theres too less rock year by year..)

Charli XCX

 

I think she's less likely now than ever. Her stock is way up high now.

Totally random hot takes I've got just by feeling: Soft Play, Dub FX, Chase and Status, Holly Humberstone, The Clockworks. 

And I refuse to shut up about Wet Leg! 😄 

Edit: I wrote this time last year: 
"My early, bold prediction is that Azahriah (from Hungary) will get a subheadliner spot on the day of a big popstar." So I'm patting on my shoulder because of that. But I had a source saying Azi only comes if he's asked to come as a sub and nothing else, so that was a big hint I got and this time I've got nothing.

Edit so it's not a double post:


Dates Sziget announced their first names

Sziget 2024: 12 Dec 2023 (first clue in late August, jumped the gun, artist didn't end up coming)
Sziget 2023: 1 Dec 2022 (first clue a month prior)

Sziget 2022: 22 Nov 2021 (first clue 2 months prior)

Sziget 2020: 12 Feb 2020 (80 names)

Sziget 2019: 27 Nov 2018 (20 Sept 2018 - Ed Sheeran)

Sziget 2018: 22 Jan 2018

Sziget 2017: 15 Dec 2016

My 2025 headliner predictions:

 

Lil Nas X

*NSYNC

Charli XCX

SZA

The Cure

The Killers

I’d take it anytime, but I’m afraid if they’d did this, there would be no money left for decent undercards.

A tl;dr maybe for the ones not speaking Durch?

Google translate seems to be pretty good. (Thanks for the article, DDave!)

 

- “a whole new era for Sziget” that will start from 2025: “We are going to do everything differently.”
- Kádár qualifies that they do not necessarily want to change anything in the programming: “It is diverse enough, that part of the festival is coherent. It will be more about how we present the whole. People should actually come to Sziget for Sziget, and not for the line-up. The line-up is important, but not why people come to Sziget in the first place.”

- “Sziget has never been a festival that focuses on the lineup, we focus on the experience. In the last 7-8 years we did have really strong lineups, but that was the era of lineups for festivals in Europe. I wouldn’t say it’s completely over, but festivals are looking at it differently.”
- The festival director is not very specific, but he does seem to hint at adding new areas, themes and zones. With this, the festival wants to reduce its dependence on the market supply of touring acts, in line with the strategy that Pinkpop has been using since this year .
- Belgian Tomorrowland as an example in terms of stage designs. Kádár also emphasizes that Sziget has made a lot of progress in recent years when it comes to themes such as safety, sanitation and comfort. In the future, the food and drinks must also be even better, he says.

Commercially sziget could do worse in making it a big edm festival. In the way tomorrowland/creamfields/untold is set up.

Their tiktok seems to leak travis scott

For me the blurred words seems to be 2 words. The second word looks like just as ,,Scott’’. I think it can be Travis Scott, or Asap Rocky too,  if you focus on the first word. I think Asap Rocky would be more likely, because he supposed to be a sub or headliner in 2020.

Thanks!

 

99% sure the first bit is Asap. And it's really about time to get him, because he was first supposed to come in 2020, and IIRC in 2022 they used his song under one of the "new names incoming" video, so everyone expected him, but never arrived.

2025 headliners: 

Travis Scott, Chappell Roan, Dua Lipa, Major Lazer, The chainsmokers, The Killers

 

Just a guessing game off course

Decent guess but can't see Major Lazer and Chainsmokers both headlining. Think Travis, Killers and Chappell are decent shouts though.

    • 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.
