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 😅

I think the announcement will be about the venues - new main stage + maybe a headliner, and infos about the other venues.

Plus Heineken taking over as main beer sponsor.

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

[Blakeos1996]

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 

 

 

[Blakeos1996]

Tate McRae , Faithless and Adam Lambert ( and more ) has been announce on a few phase 2 line ups recently not saying they will be at sziget just interesting to see 

[Blakeos1996]

Also that Denmark festival announcing acts on the same day/week and they have clues..  if someone can translate it to English that be great. 
 

this might rule out or rule in acts for sziget here are the clues

Act 1 - THE BAND'S ONLY CONCERT IN SEALAND THIS YEAR WILL BE SOUTH OF THE SUN, WROTE SONGS IN A HOSPITAL, THEY CLAP

 

Act 2 - HAS SOMETHING IN COMMON WITH ERIC CLAPTON, PRINCE, STING & JIMI HENDRIX, THE FIRST TIME THE ARTIST PLAYED AT A FESTIVAL WAS IN 2019, IS KNOWN FOR EXPERIMENTING WITH GENRES

 

Act 3 - LOVES DOLLY PARTON, USES HUMOR AND POP CULTURE REFERENCES IN HER SONGWRITING, HAS A COMPLICATED RELATIONSHIP WITH VIRGOSES

 

Act 4 - IS FROM DOWN UNDER, THE FIRST RECORD THE ARTIST BUYED FOR HERSELF WAS "ARETHA NOW, RECORDS HER MUSIC IN THE OLD DAYS

 

 

Act 1 might be our rock headliner?

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...

Yeah thought 4 was empire of the sun again but Courtney Barnett sounds more right

Act 2 defs Mk.gee and yeah that’s true just thought might tell us more about the undercard more than anything

Would be very happy if we got either of those.

[Newjem]

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.
