The lack of guitars is devastating.

Riles put on a great show 2 years ago, highly recommend him.

I agree, the inclusion of Papa Roach stands out like a sore thumb.

Wow,so many electronic acts.

 

Balaton

[bunnyv]

I’m kinda bummed with the >15 electronic names…it kinda reads like a Colosseum lineup without the few obvious exceptions.

Perhaps the balaton theme, with a few big hitters was the change. 

 

Better to have it in Budapest, due to easier travel.

Yep, I can’t really say I’m excited for them.

Majority of those artists are going to be at Colosseum or Party Arena imo, I expect and hope for more live music in the next phase, even though I like the first one

Seems a strange move, especially when colosseum and party are back have never been in the first announcement.

I was thinking the same. Out of the 4 stages they announce names for 2 is purely electronic, so the ratio of djs will be high

If they manage to attract the same crowd from Balaton Sound, then this year’s edition was really the last ‘old’ Sziget, just as the CEO said it. The time of Pumped Gabo has come.

[ParanoidTourist]

I only recognise about 5 of these names. Times are changing indeed.

I think the second announcement will be very soon. Hence they themselves already teased Post but have not included him in this announcement 

[krisz1456]

I think that Charli, Armin are Okay. But Hungarians won't Give a s** about this lineup. They need the Chainsmokers, Olivia Rodrigo, Post Malone, The Weeknd ,so bigger names. 

[Newjem]

Nah, like I said... this doesn't stand a chance. And it's not even a headliner problem. Chappell and Charli will sell all right, especially if they co-headline but the lack of solid undercard is ridiculous. It's like 70% electronic music and the rest is mostly way too small (even though there are some gems). Don't believe there will be many foregneirs buying tickets for this. Many EDM festivals in Europe where the general experience is much better for EDM lovers and there will be many other opportunities to catch Chappell or Charli. And it's not cheap - which is a problem for locals (combined with the lack of huge names).

[billybigballs]

I feel a bit stupid with some of my suggestions/wants - all very wide of the mark!

 

Very happy with the three headliners (even though I hadn't heard of Anyma 30 minutes ago!)

 

However, if they are trying to deliver a mix of genres then they appear to leaned far too much into the EDM genre. Not a balanced mix at all.

another leak..

[So Sad Simon]

I feel like I've been sold a ticket under false pretenses.

 

That might sound a tad dramatic but I get no joy from EDM music. Which doesn't leave a great deal for me to watch and enjoy. 

 

Theres no way these are all acts for the Colleseum. They are almost certainly for the new main or second stages. If more guitar/pop acts don't get announced then I'll sell my ticket for peanuts and walk away. 

 

Lesson learned - buyer beware.

That’s not a leak, they essentially gave up and decided to pull a GTA VI and post the damn thing since it’s open secret.

Sziget has had issues with the undercard since covid, why people thought it would change this year is anyone's guess.

oh no they took it off! Damn, someone is really messing with them!

 

This is the best drama of 2024 I swear!

 

The madman posted on their own channel.

[urdoneurdone]

Anyone know what their pattern is for phase 2 of the lineup drop, is it usually a long wait/ few months after phase 1?

It’s private now, so they managed to f**k up again. 

[Matt86]

I was also expecting for more rock... but the second announcement might be late February right ? I hope it will change that... Franz ferdinand and Nothing but thieves are negociating if what Leaks said is right, + many rock acts are available this year at this period, so.... I keep faith 🙂 

BUT yeah, I don't buy my ticket for now this time. lessons learned ^^
