I liked global villiage as it had music and activities on early in the day.  I would be happy if they started main stage one act earlier round 2.30.     What would they replace global villiage with.  Maybe a workshop/wellness area.    Maybe they will bring back the luminarium.   As long as it’s not just more of the poor product advertisements that seem to be growing year on year.    Old spice car wash last year where the blues stage used to be

Please no earlier start, I’m glad if I can recover by 16:00 😅

Just seen ed Sheerans tour is starting. He plays Belgium on the 8th August and Poland on the 15th. He doesn’t seem to be doing any festivals but he has headlined before and he’s in the area at the right time. Wouldn’t be my choice at all and it was also dangerously busy in 2019 too

I'm a bit out of the loop. How do we know this?


It’s just a strong guess. Based on the following:

- Sziget is parting ways with their current beer sponsor

- On socials they referred to “beer cheers” for tuesday

- We know that there will be a new main stage

- Balaton sound festival is no more, they has a Heineken sponsor AND a Heineken main stage

- The same guys who made that stage, which is a full led stage already make a few stage stuff for Sziget and we think they will likely have an itteration of that Balaton Sound main stage

- Based kn all this, the same beer sponsor would likely be attached to it

Agree with the new stage and all that 

 

could it be 

post Malone cause of -  Beerbongs ?

only thing is he hasn’t announce a Europe festival yet I don’t think..so I don’t think that he be there 

 

and Catfish are more likely to cancel

then to announce a festival date they days.. so unreliable

ACT 1: only band I know who have wrote songs in a hospital is the band LIVE with the song lighting crashes & more ( can’t think of anyone else ) probably won’t be them though idk

Act 2 is mk.gee

 

Syd for Solen announced all their headliners (Chappell, Sam Fender and QOTSA) so don't expect any big names in that announcement...

But I just want to point out that Sziget only shares 1 or 2 names with Syd for Solen every year and they already share Chappell this year. So even if they announced something great, I don't think they would appear at Sziget...

yeah that’s true at least it rule some out as much I’ll want them there at sziget 

 

Didn’t think all 4 of those would be just at sziget just maybe 1 of them or 2

the first one is a bit mistranslated.

 

It says the bands only gig in Zealand (area in Denmark) will be played at Syd for Solen (the festival)

i don't really like the fact they're removing global Village from sziget. I went First time in 2015 and a lot of stages and activities were removed from that year on. If they want to focus on experience they also Need to provide alternative solutions. A lot of small and inconsistent sponsored bars/stages were put instead. I also noticed they'll require a "leave no trace" deposit ticket for people Who bring their own tent. I usually bring also a gazebo a table and some chiars for me and my Friends. Hope they won't change that in the "Island of Freedom"

Doesn’t that just mean a deposit that will be returned to you unless you leave your crap behind? I think it’s a welcome initiative if this is what it means (based on the name).

 

I will also miss the Global Village I hope they will come up with something nice.

It's just a money making exercise, on a festival that's lost money post covid.

3 more rock bands that I can see headline a day at Sziget are The Black Keys, Maneskin and Bring Me The Horizon. From these 3, The Black Keys are confirmed to be in Europe until July 19 with no other confirmed shows after that date.

    • 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.
    • Yup and they aren't cheap   Glastonbury is different though, it's a place that will pack out for rarities they don't usually see. Download strictly speaking shouldn't be the strangest place for Avril to pop up of she had been a touring artist of longer times over the years.   Avril and GC would get the same billing for me and GC are selling arenas out quicker than Avril sold Ally Pally. Bearing in mind she'd pnly done soem Brixton dates before.
    • Avril gets above GC on rarity (see Cypress Hill this year). She drew in something like 70,000 at Glastonbury, so much so that they had to close the field off. I’d wager that she would get the biggest crowd of the entire weekend if she was to play DL.
