Great names. Would be happy with Cat Burns,Cmat,Jamie XX,Khruangbin,Lola Young,London Grammar,Mk,Gee,The Murder Capital,Suki,Waterhouse,Vampire Weekend,Wallows. 
 

I wish Sziget would’ve done something similar regarding the undercard.

Would happily take London Grammar, Lola Young, Royel Otis, Suki Waterhouse, Vampire Weekend, MK.Gee, Fontaines, Khruangbin, Chase and Status.

 

So many good acts around and, so far, Sziget only has a handful of them. 

 

I really hope announcement three has more known acts because the group I'm going with are getting very restless. 

 

Would love to know how ticket sales are going because, from a recognisability point of view I can't begin to imagine people from across Europe rushing to Budapest this summer for the current line-up.

I doubt Stereophonics, who are playing a tour of stadiums in the UK this summer, would be willing to be a sub to any of the headliners we have.

I still hope for Carpenter Brut to pop up on the Sziget lineup. The guy is playing in Romania at Rockstadt Extreme Fest on July 30.

Keep dreaming…

Creamfields just announced Anyma as well as headliner. If I’m not mistaken they also upgraded their stage to a massive led stage last year.

This ad says get ready for the biggest stars on “the stage” of Sziget. It is a weird phrasing. First I thought I read at the main stage but doesn’t actually say that. But it says “THE” stage which refers to a single stage. So if it IS in fact acts from the main stage despite the weird phrasing, other than the headliners it included:

 

Armin, Nelly, Papa Roach, Kiss of Life.

 

If this is in fact true I have a few questions: Why Kiss of life included when they are clearly not a sub as the others? Is Armin then really a sub? Surely we have other names as well on the main stage already why specifically mention Kiss of Life? 
 

Either way if this is right, we at least are still missing 3 subs on the main. 
 

Why this seems right is because Justice and Boris are not in this carousel who are otherwise highlighted on the poster, but then they are playing other stages. So this is really likely names specifically on the main stage.

Kiss of Life (yes, they were confirmed for Main stage in other Instagram post) is K-pop which is super popular right now. There are lots of people who are willing to buy tickets just to see them. Even my friend, who I thought would never go to Sziget, is now trying to convince me to buy tickets so we might do one day to see them and Charli.

 

Armin as a sub is not a surprise, last year they had Fisher and Skrillex in the same spot.

An opening day main stage run of a local band > kiss of life > papa roach > Charli xcx seems like a realistic running order at this point

More comments on Instagram about Kiss of Life being announced than any act other than the headliners.

 

Seventeen are a K-Pop band who played Glastonbury last year - the first one to do so - and it was a very poor turnout. That said, you can't get day tickets for Glastonbury.

Papa Roach between Kiss of Life and Charli XCX would be one of Sziget's stranger choices......

It really would be. One thing about this lineup, is that it’s incredibly hard to predict who’s playing where

Glasto is usually sold out even before the lineup is revealed so K-pop fans couldn't buy the tickets and regular Glasto goers don’t care about K-pop I guess. Also, 2024 was a very weird year in general as many acts had a very poor turnout (SZA etc.)

More than Sigur Ros before Muse in 2016?

[sandorbeni]

To be fair I think sziget cares more about what names are available for a certain day than to have some kind of consistency in their scheduling

I would say it's stranger with Papa Roach and Charli tbh. Might affect the atmosphere too. Can imagine a lot of younger Charli fans getting there early to see her and just sitting down/ignoring Papa Roach which always provides a strange vibe.

Lola Young now announced for Oya and Way Out West. Got fingers crossed Sziget sorts her out.

Would be a good booking for the Chappell day, which feels particularly light at the moment

Sigur Ros before anything is weird.

Seeing them anywhere other than a cave or outer space is weird

[Akujin]

So I then we have 3 sub headliners left and at least 4 more Revolute main acts. What are the guesses?

 

Mine are:

Idles, Doechii, Royel Otis, Chase and Status, Mk.Gee, Vampire Weekend
