Sziget 2025

I think what Sziget needs to do is right after the announcement they have to start promoting their new main stage with some sick animations / renders or whatever. Get people excited for the Anyma show even if it’s the first time they are hearing about it. 
 

There has not been one person I ever showed Anyma who didn’t immediately say they want to see this live.

Btw the CEO clearly stated in August that they want people to come for the Sziget experience, not for the lineup. Step one is almost complete. I don’t even know what I expected after that interview.

 

compared to 5 years ago, the ‘experience’ elements on the line up are a shadow of what they used to be , and the line up too.

Agreed, this absolutely. Putting some example vids out would be massive damage imitation. I hadn't heard of him and couldn't believe he'd been announced as a headliner then someone on here posted a vid and that shut me up immediately! Lol.

This is not a bad third (as in two thirds still coming) lineup at all. Certainly better than last year. I mean especially if you like electronic music. 
 

Anyma - huge

Chapalle Roan - I’m being called she is absolutely massive in a certain demographic and selling out festivals

Charli - People have been requesting here non stop

Armin - not even a headliner!!

Boris - great

Justice - fantastic!!

Nelly Furtado - good retro pick up

Papa Roach - good retro pickup

Kneecap - Bunch of people have requested it

Palaye Royale - solid rock pickup

 

And I’m sure there are more that I am personally not aware of and great pickups

Guys, am I the only one here, who is actually excited from this first announcement?

Well, maybe I started to losing my hope since covid, but lineup is actually good one.

 

Anyma would be mindblowing,

Chapelle & Charlie, two great pop names,

Blossoms, Papa Roach, Palaye Royale, great live bands

Nelly Furtado, good name for us old guys 🙂 

Justice, Boris, Brutalismus, Madonna, Armin, thats actually good electronic names.

 

I mean for festival which its last year went -5M EUR its actually solid lineup, we can be happy that there is not Halot Penz headlining 🙂

That’s where it goes sideways. While recently I started to enjoy some electronic music, it’s still one of my less favourite genre. Especially not on a main stage where the main aspect is ‘parasztvakitas’ (I hope you were the one to mention this phrase previously) with lasers and fireworks and drops in every 5 seconds.
 

I’m sure I will enjoy most of the acts you listed, buy what I really need is bands with actual guitars.

I feel the same. I do enjoy electronic/techno sometimes, but it's not the main genre I'm gonna play at home and at festivals I can't listen to it for too long. I also love the visuals and laser/light shows and can't wait for Justice and Anyma, but I also need more live music

Yes I was the one! 😄 It is parasztvakitas but it’s next level compared to what you are saying, AND it will only get better because he is doing shows in the Sphere so I can only imagine they will up the visuals massively

    • Plenty of good stuff this month. Very difficult choice, but I'm going with some of those I've listened to most (the sunny weather may also have been influential)...   1. The Coral - 388 2. Kurt Vile - Philadelphia's Been Good to Me 3. The Lemon Twigs - Look For Your Mind!   Others I've been enjoying... Laurie Anderson's live album, Broken Social Scene, Pigeon, The Black Keys, etc
    • Yesterday was was Primavera is all about and a reminder of why I come back every year. I saw 9 acts, very diverse in terms of genre and vibe, and most of them were great.  Highlights:   The Cure - have wanted to see them for years. Finally caught them and it was immaculate. Robert Smith's vocals at his age are incredible. The band sounded exactly like the albums which is impressive. 2.5 hours with basically no filler somehow.  Viagra Boys - what a front man! So much energy. Non stop moshing. Sound was great, vibe was top notch. Again 10/10 for me.  Rilo Kiley - basically what pipan said. Not a huge crowd but nice vibe, good sound. Different from the other acts I saw.   I also enjoyed the late night electronic stuff with Aurora Halal and KI/KI being fun. Caught some of Skrillex before Aurora Halal and it was cool in it's own way but not really my thing so we left.
