@Sziget2025_Leaks could you tell us if the lineup is coming in the first or 2nd half of November? 🫢

Their post earlier this month said 'early November'. Although it tends to slip back a bit each year. I'm going for 14 November.

Current plan is earlier than that but yes, it might slip

How are you feeling about the first announcement? Positive?

[gunghoglen]

I've heard that Balaton Sound is not going to continue. My assumption is that if it closes up shop, then Sziget gets more EDM-focused than it already is. I thought last year was about the right mix, Fred is a good headliner even for someone like me who prefers live bands. Leaks, can you speak to the EDM landscape and if Sziget will be more focused on that going forward?

[dude111]

did you notice the 30€ deposit for bringing a tent?!

Too early to tell.

You're not too far off.

Can we get a new hint in honor of Early Bird?

I hope I've not just bought Prime tickets to an EDM festival! Bringing 4 friends based on previous line-ups, if it's totally EDM-focused they'll throw me in the Danube!! Lol.

There are some rumours that Post Malone will play Untold Festival in Romania, which is also during August.

 

I also wish Sziget would bring Carpenter Brut from this poster:

That is disgusting to be honest. 

 

All about fleecing the consumer.

Cool, thanks. As long as there are some live bands, things will be OK. Is Purple Disco Machine a possibility? His new album is really good, and he's the kind of EDM that someone like me who prefers a live band would still go see. Like Fred last year. Mix in the Killers for one headliner, Dua for another, and some good indie rock around the island and you have a good fest.

No way it's going totally EDM, maybe a noticeable increase across the festival but not fully - especially with a Wishmachine suggesting Sam Fender, The Strokes and Sabrina Carpenter!

@Sziget2025_Leaks

Hi! Do you know any info about Playboi Carti? He is in the wishmachine, and I really enjoyed his performance back in Vienna this year. 

[billybigballs]

@Sziget2025_Leaks - as part of the new night-time plans, are there any thoughts around providing something for people not really in to EDM?

 

The One Direction disco last year was packed. There's a definite call for at least one of the late night venues to host something other than EDM.

Please explain to us, since last year's entries at sziget were not at the expected level with more EDM programming than usual, how do they plan to obtain more entries by continuing with "more EDM" ?

 

(This is not a criticism, just a serious question to understand "the plan" lol)

Just bought my early bird.  I’m assuming that it won’t be too much more focused on edm as they are saying that it will be as diverse musically as always.   Looking forward to hearing what changes there will be.  Love the festival as it is but think they can make it more spectacular with more fireworks,  smaller stages with more acts,  more art and street performers.  I really hope that the night district idea is more than just more edm.

I did wonder if they were going to focus more on attracting additional visitors on the night time tickets. Try to get it so that as thousands leave, thousands more arrive. Same amount of people on site, but much more revenue.

I wasn't serious.

 

Stereophonic when they had bands.
