The problem with the likes of Empire of the Sun and Justice is that it needs to be dark for the show, so you can't have them on the main stage in an afternoon or early evening spot, but  if you put them on as headliners many people would complain that they are not big enough for that.

what about 22:45?

I guess they want to attract more people with night tickets, that’s why they have bigger names at this slot.

So I might be in the minority here,but I have nothing bad to say so far. Expect the fact that the bars are slowww slow,at least the couple we went to. The one on the left side of main stage was awful,not even long queues just f**king slow staff,having to explain what’s a Pilsner.

Absolutely. We went to grab a beer at Revolut and we just couldn't get one. It was only 2-3 people ahead of us, but then they closed so we stood at the queue then had to go to the end of another one, then another one... so we just went to somewhere near the main stage, got a beer instantly.

 

Btw this might be obvious, but places like Finlandia (?) etc. next to the main stage do have beer, they seem to have everything. But queues seemed shorter, possibly because people thought they're only selling vodka related stuff..?

Have to say Nelly Furtado was excellent.

Agreed, I must've said "Oh yeah, I forgot she did this" at least 5 times!

 

Hadn't planned to watch Shawn but have done. Can't say I'd want to do it again.

 

Loved The Beaches, and think we're now going to set up camp in Revolut, ready for Justice. Seriously think it could be standing on shoulders room only!

[sandorbeni]

The ventilation is definitely better in the new tent. I remember humidity and the lack of oxygen being a problem in the old one.

 

I was right at the front for Justice and they were incredible. Was the tent packed? Couldn't really tell from my spot.

We had to leave after 45 mins - long story - and we were on the centre barrier. The crowd was really tightly packed in for the whole footprint of the tent, but once outside there weren't many people watching/listening outside the tent.

 

That might've been because the night felt quite chilly though.

Sisi cancelled today due to illness if anyone was interested, Bongor is the replacement

The women and hungarian acts are knocking it out of the park.

 

Lets see how Blossoms, Krubi and Carabou fair.

Is it just me, or were The Kooks lowkey boring?

Its the kooks, they've never been exciting. 

[Arnolf]

I want to thank people for talking about justice so much. If not this forum I probably would have not waited. ( I thought it's just some DJs playing music). But that show was incredible. So yeah. Thank you guys!!! Is there any more DJs with alot of lasers simmilar to that?

Thank you. 

After this I will probably never have enough lasers at any show.

I enjoyed them, but their whole vibe is “chilled out singalong” so I’m not surprised that some find that boring

Good shout.

 

I think Pogany were so good and put on a great energetic show. 

 

Hungarian acts are in my top shows so far. Noga Erez was also very good.

I hope you saw Caribou yesterday. Not so many lasers, but as always great light show and live electronic music.

Don't want to spoil anything but I think we might be getting afterlife experience...

Excuse the ignorance, but what does this mean?

[Arnolf]

It's 3 massive screens in stage. That's why.

I doubt anyone will beat the performance of FKA Twigs, awesome.

Saw the same show in May, so I knew what to expect, but still it was one of the best performances I've seen this week. Sevdaliza and Deva were great as well.

Wonen are killing this week.

 

Whilst the mens best efforts are the kooks and Blossoms. 😃

This comment sums it up.

Noga Erez just gained a fan, I didn't know what to expect but she was brilliant. 

 

I also loved how foreigners were vibeing for Pogány, everyone loved him. For mainstream Hungarian rap, I'd normally prefer Beton.Hofi, but Pogány is amazing live. Hofi was so meh. ((For my fellow Hungarians: my mate said Hofi next to Pogány looks like DéNash next to Krúbi. So true, unfortunately.))

 

How did you all like Krúbi?

+ any positive surprises, like Noga Erez for me?

 

Also, I complained about the new set up but my bad, I really like Szoho and how easy it is to jump from one place to the other between Dropyard, Buzz and Revolut. Moving Dropyard was a great idea, it belongs to this part of the island.
