Still Kingfishr to go for the men.

 

Although, the women have Isabel LaRosa, Ecca Vandal, Zaho de Sagazan, Luvcat, TLDP and Chappell Roan.

 

So, it's very close....😜

Add Rilès to the list, he was amazing back in 2022, didn't know him before.

Any good food recs? Don’t want to stumble on sh*tty food for the last two days.

 

i can vouch for these:

Che Che

Meraki

Smokey Monkeys

 

they haven’t let me down for years. 

The raclette place near The Buzz is my favourite this year. A bit expensive, but it totally worth it.

Shaping up to be a great one. Justice, Caribou, Nelly, Sevdaliza, Twigs all fantastic. Also have enjoyed many Hungarian acts and love the Party Arena. I enjoyed Anyma but my attention wandered a bit - a guest vocalist would have helped.

Simon's is prime. You don't have to wait in the queue, they give you your burger straight away, and it's great.

 

Crunchy is also good, they sell fried chicken burgers.

I can say it was the best Sziget I've attended since 2019, ladies and gentlemen (pun intended). 
Details may come soon. As for now, top three shows for me were Zaho de Sagazan, Palaye Royale and Joey Valence & Brae. 
For everybody who've been there - have a nice trip home, who've never been - you definitely should try.

Had a nice chilled festival, always a privilege to go back.

 

Only drawback were putting Justice, EOTS and Van Buuren in tents. That being said im unsure where they could of gone. 

 

Only minor criticism is how polished Sziget has become, not as chaotic or crazy as it used to be. 

 

Kingfishr crowd was the most Irish I've ever been in. 😀

 

Positives were no trouble, weather (although intense Sat & Sun), few good sets. The dust wasn't overly an issue. 

 

The Buzz was the best stage.

 

Now couple of days in Budapest before home.

It doesnt mean she's a pop megastar everywhere though.

True.

 

Plus I thought the main stage supporting lineup of Luvcat, PtM and TLDP was the best of the festival but my Hungarian friend said she hadn't heard of any of them!

According to a statement released by Sziget, a total of 416,000 visitors attended the festival on Hajógyári Island over the course of six days. According to the announcement, the innovations resulted in a 40-50 percent increase in discounted nighttime ticket purchases, and total attendance exceeded last year's by 5 percent.

This was something Sziget needed, considering that Sziget Kulturális Menedzsment Iroda Zrt., the company behind the festival, closed last year and the year before with losses: The year 2024 ended with a loss of 3.8 billion forints, which is almost double the previous year's record loss (1.8 billion) and far below the 355 million profit in 2022.

We were at Sziget in 2024 and 2025, and it felt waaay busier than only 5% increase. If they'd announced 20% increase, I wouldn't have been surprised.

 

Mind you, any increase is definitely a positive.

    • Not necessarily but it should be, Download have a habit of messing it uo when others get the bookings on point. Good Charlotte I doubt are playing 3rd down and that too 3 that day while dreamy is too strong. I think you'd have one another day to help sell weekend tickets. I also doubt Papa Roach play. 
    • Here's a bit of a wild stab, few placings may be off, and for all I know half of these won't actually be touring next year, but screw it, it's a bit of fun   Pyramid: Sabrina Carpenter, Phoebe Bridgers, TBA (Florence + The Machine), Garbage, The Last Dinner Party, Interpol, Alex James Britpop Classical Other: Chase & Status, Teddy Swims, Clairo, The Kooks, Zara Larsson, Kingfishr, Sports Team, Orbital West Holts: Robyn, Baby Keem, De La Soul, Deltron 3030, JID, Dua Saleh, kwn, Daniela Latila Woodsies: Bonobo, Darkside, TBA (Tame Impala), Laufey, Warmduscher, Wednesday, The Lottery Winners, The Royston Club, Florence Road Park: Patti Smith, Super Furry Animals, Slayyyter, The Cardigans, Skye Newman, Kelly Lee Owens, Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers   Pyramid: Harry Styles, The xx, Richard Ashcroft, The Pogues, Jessie J, Sigrid, Travis Other: Rosalia, Sombr, Mitski, Alex Warren, Holly Humberstone, Cat Burns, Pale Waves, Yard Act West Holts: Basement Jaxx, Elyanna, Clipse, L’Imperatrice, Nation of Language, Jim Legxacy, Yazmin Lacey, RIP Magic Woodsies: Suede, Chvrches, Bleachers, MUNA, The Cribs, Keo, Bleech 9:3, The Lilacs Park: MARINA, Magdalena Bay, Jacob Alon, TBA (Lily Allen performs West End Girl), Getdown Services, Isaac Wood, Snail Mail, Madra Salach Pyramid: Sam Fender, Hozier, David Byrne, Cher, Obongjayar, David Gray, Billy Ocean Other: Doja Cat, Deftones, Addison Rae, Ren, Viagra Boys, Maisie Peters, The Reytons, Hard Life West Holts: Kano, Thievery Corporation, Angine De Poitrine, Thee Sacred Souls, Brooke Combe, Sasha Keable, Master Peace Woodsies: The Wombats, Metronomy, Geese*, Dry Cleaning, EsDeeKid, Sienna Spiro, Cowboy Hunters, Radio Free Alice Park: Big Thief, Laura Marling, MJ Lenderman, Richard Dawson, Oklou, Maruja, Dead Dads Club, Ratboys   *There's always one band booked for Woodsies that ends up being massively under-billed and gets shut down really early. They'd be better off playing somewhere like Other sub, but I could see the G getting them to play a smaller stage while it's still possible
    • Another Kraftwerk one for me today, as just back from seeing them.    
    • Completed my 2026 survey. Put down Super Furry Animals as my most wanted for next year but suspect the moment has gone for that. Popped a big shopping list in the box for who else you would like to see. 🙂
