Sziget 2025

[kristofm]

Btw they are advertising Sziget by claiming there will be 500+ artists, did we already have that much last year?
Also, they're recruiting small Italian bands on Facebook. Maybe there will be small, nation-specific stages as well?

Damn, I wish they would bring back Coma Cose at Sziget. They were few years ago on Europe Stage I think and I remember that the atmosphere was crazy during their gig, the crowd was incredible especially during this song:

He was part of the first announcement so we knew he’s coming (but the dates and stage is new info).

Light Stage always has lots of Italian bands for some reason so they will be there.

Part of the first announcement? Where? or in which video? because I haven't seen him.

The reason is that the organizers of the Light Stage schedule are the guys from Alternativa Events who are Italians. In the past, they also had a dedicated camping area, called Alternativa Camping, with "Italian hospitality". Back then they were involved in the Europe Stage schedule, as they put that stage close to their camp side.

they are doing a video series confirming  days and so far only mainstage. yesterday nelly furtado, 7th, mainstage.

[djym12]

Didn't think any of those lower names would be on the main for some reason, but yeah, first two slots make sense

Hopefully, it will alleviate fears that they haven't already half-filled the main stage with some of the smaller acts announced.

 

Hopefully.....

I saw him in 2022 without knowing who he is. Great atmosphere.

Syd For Solen in Copenhagen (same week as Sziget, last year they shared a few names) just announced Sam Fender, Confidence Man and Overmono for their Friday program. It also seems like the name under Sam Fender on the lineup is Hozier. Would you like any of these on Sziget? We had Overmono in 2024 and Confidence Man in 2023, but wouldn't say no to any of them

I'm a big fan of Sam Fender. First saw him in 2018 at a tiny venue in Leeds (capacity around 150) and seen his popularity grow and grow. Seen him six times, most recently last month. I would love for him to be there.

 

That said, judging by the reaction to him being announced as headliner at Rock Werchter and Nos Alive, his UK popularity does not appear to translate into mainland Europe so I'd understand if others don't share my enthusiasm.

 

As for Confidence Man, they're such an entertaining act that I defy anyone to not be delighted by them being announced!

It’s not Hozier because the same word is also repeated under Confidence Man and Overmono so must mean something else (like ‘name’ or ‘TBA’).

[sandorbeni]

I really like Hozier so I would be very happy if he's added to the lineup. I'm not sure if they would put him as a standalone headliner or co-headline with someone like Fender or before a Dj

With Justice and Nelly Furtado both playing the same day, does this mean Justice will be playing a38/revolut or could it be a case of Nelly subbing, with a Justice closing set?

Hozier and Sam Fender together as co-heads would be great, but Hozier has almost ten times the number of monthly Spotify listeners compared to Fender so suspect he would want the main slot.

 

Can't imagine Fender being happy with a glorified sub slot given that he's headlining every other festival he's playing this summer.

Difficult to predict until we know what the new plans for the festival are. Will there still be an A38/Revolut stage? Your guess is as good as mine!

The suspense is killing me!

[djym12]

If the stages remain the same, Justice would be too big for the Revolut stage. Maybe Nelly could take the 17:30 slot, and Justice the 19:15?

Hozier has never played in Hungary, perhaps its 1 country he does nothing. 

 

Would be a massive jump from never playing Hungary to headliner. If he was a huge headliner around the world I'd say yeah, but is about the size of fender. 

 

Judging by his tours, it's the American market he is after.

Hozier is waaay bigger than Fender, outside of probably the UK.

I’m thinking there might be a bigger Party arena this year. Think about it, Armin also not headlinig. Where does he fit? Sub headliner? That’s strange to me. Daylight Armin show? Then yes, Justice is a bit big for Revolut, but also not great in the daylight on the main stage, plus no way Nelly is playing 3rd down from headliner.
