Sziget are ridiculously quiet today on their socials, especially considering it's the day before a 'big' announcement.

The poor dears must have tired themselves out promoting the EDM names every 10 minutes for the past week.

 

Can't believe they've promised hints this morning and then delivered none. Useless.

Idk why they keep trying to hype up the electronic artists and that delta district when it’s clearly not going so well. last announcement with Post, Asap and Shawn got 20k+ likes, now they’re barely having 2k on only one post even with all the sponsored posts and set videos

I've gone out of my way to not 'like' anything posted about Delta District as I know the engagement figures will just get reported back to management highlighting "how well the announcement has gone down on socials." And I refuse to be a part of that bollocks (yes, I'm really that petty).

 

The lack of promo for tomorrow's announcement is a bit worrying though. They're either being crap on socials, or the announcement isn't worth shouting about. Hope it's the former, but fear it's the latter.

I'm certainly getting nervous but we will never know we might be in for a big surprise

This is what i dont get, Delta District posts were EVERYWHERE last week and now its radio silent. To be fair though they were almost equally as quiet with the second drop


As someone who works in marketing:

 

Before big drops, releases etc there is a tonne of work going into making sure every detail is right. So communication before that can actually decreese.

 

Now normally, pre-announcement posts are part of the announcement process, and it’s planned well before, but hey it’s Sziget.

I know leas than 5% of the names announced for delta district. Fancy watching Armin and Blessed Madonna but couldn't care less about the rest. Loads of people know who Post Malone and Shawn Mendes are, not sure you can say the same for Upper90 and HotX.

i think that delta district was pushed so much because It was something new, that festival wants tò be perceived as increasing value of the festival. Tomorrow announcement, instead, Just regular stuff they've been doing since day One. Still, they need to fill a lot of medium size spots, so, unless they have One last bigger announcement tò make later in spring, this Will be It imo

They've gone hard to assure people on Instagram that there are no more headliners on their way which, if that's the case, hopefully means they'll have a bit of spare cash to shore up the undercard.

 

With the strong acts around, tomorrow could be a really great day. However, I fear it won't.

    • Me too.  Reckon they must have more this year.   Not bad is it - ended up paying same price as this year.  It still represents great value for me.  Well, until I check my bank account the Monday after the weekend.
    • Well mayors have more powers to do that sh*t...but they have to make the numbers add up.
    • We'll see. Bristol and Leeds are both massively overdue big public transport investment - 2 of the cities with the worst transport infrastructure per capita in Western Europe. If this works to help support investment projects great and fair play to Burnham.
    • The Bródy Day was his idea because Sziget has always been late when it comes to this kind of concert. They would only organize farewell performances or tribute shows after an artist had passed away. Since Bródy is one of the country's greatest singer-songwriters, they wanted to honor him while he is still alive. (He didn't say it exactly like that, but the man is 80 and has just stopped playing large concerts.) He never understood why anyone would focus exclusively on one generation, especially Gen Z, who have less disposable income, drink less, and are, in his words, "afraid of partying." He explained that in the past, people loved festivals because of the nonstop partying, whereas many younger people today find that experience overwhelming or exhausting. That's one of the reasons why Sziget will introduce more chill zones and sensory-friendly spaces. They also want to attract older generations, who are generally more willing and able to spend money. The Sziget Icons days are aimed at this audience, and in the future they hope to create a more balanced lineup that appeals to people over 35 as well.   It was a long interview. If anything else comes to mind, I'll share it.
