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

I would be quite happy with that. I think London Grammer or Jamie xx are also possible.

 

Seeing that Vampire Weekend are not headliners at Lowlands gives me hope that they would accept a sub/co headline spot at sziget too

Could Idles be a real option? Are they playing somewhere nearby? I'd love that

I fear we are getting our hopes up waaaaaay too much. 

 

I genuinely think they could knock it out of the park this year if they add another half-dozen or so names like this. I just fear they're not going to. But, maybe announcement three is going to be a blinder after all.......

This wasn’t even my “getting my hopes up” guesses 😂

Hi guys, does anyone have a picture that has the accessible viewing area for wheelchairs in it? I'm trying to get a sense of size so any help will be good!

Thank you so much. I was trying to find an image like this but was having no luck. As someone who is in a wheelchair, trying to attend Sziget for the first time its important to be able to see these things 👍🏻

Does anyone happen to know if the other one is also access or is that something else?

The other one I don't think is accessible, it should be for people shorter than 1.60m and/or kids, I think

We used the other one a few times when we first came in 2019, iirc it was for kids under 8. However, I'm pretty sure it no longer exists. However, the wheelchair one definitely does - I was stood next to it during Liam's set last year. A pretty basic set up but seemed to offer everything needed. Maybe seven or eight wheelchair users on there.

Thank you so much for the insight! I appreciate it 🙂 @billybigballs would you say 7/8 is the full capacity? Did they have other people with them as I would require an assistant? Dont worry if you dont know, we are just used to the way UK festivals do things so trying to understand the Sziget way!

They also let assistants go up there and there's like 2 rows of benches for people who are not in a wheelchair but require some kind of accessibility (e.g.: people with a broken leg). Last year I had to wear a sling during the festival because of a broken shoulder and they also let me go up there.

Good to know that it also has a dedicated accessible porta potty.

Thank you all so much for the help today I'm overwhelmed with the answers I received. I have emailed Sziget to get all further information needed. Fingers crossed I will see you all on the island 🤞🏻

I’m not getting my hopes up. So many good medium sized names are literally on the doorstep during Sziget and we got about none of them so far.😂

This is 100% my view. Lots of acts I'm excited by are playing August festivals but very few of them are at Sziget. The next announcement is very much 'make or break'. 

 

I suspect, if ticket sales aren't going as well as hoped, then we might be lucky enough to get some of those slightly bigger acts on the August festival circuit.

Judging by the Valentine's offer they've mailed out this evening, I'd say ticket sales were crashing and burning tbh.

What is the offer ?

I assume he's referring to the offer where if you buy two tickets using Revolut you can save 120 euros.

 

Good offer but does imply sales aren't great tbh.
