Sziget 2025

[branvan]

What a poor Wave (if the leak is true). And it's interesting, other Festivals in around that time already announced the entire Line Up (and others nothing, I know). I love Sziget Festival, BUT...

[Akujin]

I think what Sziget needs to do is right after the announcement they have to start promoting their new main stage with some sick animations / renders or whatever. Get people excited for the Anyma show even if it’s the first time they are hearing about it. 
 

There has not been one person I ever showed Anyma who didn’t immediately say they want to see this live.

Btw the CEO clearly stated in August that they want people to come for the Sziget experience, not for the lineup. Step one is almost complete. I don’t even know what I expected after that interview.

compared to 5 years ago, the ‘experience’ elements on the line up are a shadow of what they used to be , and the line up too.

Hence the expected big changes they foreshadowed.

we knew they wouldn't book any big big headliners anymore. but with the speculation here on the forum in recent weeks, this feels very disappointing

Agreed, this absolutely. Putting some example vids out would be massive damage imitation. I hadn't heard of him and couldn't believe he'd been announced as a headliner then someone on here posted a vid and that shut me up immediately! Lol.

This is not a bad third (as in two thirds still coming) lineup at all. Certainly better than last year. I mean especially if you like electronic music. 
 

Anyma - huge

Chapalle Roan - I’m being called she is absolutely massive in a certain demographic and selling out festivals

Charli - People have been requesting here non stop

Armin - not even a headliner!!

Boris - great

Justice - fantastic!!

Nelly Furtado - good retro pick up

Papa Roach - good retro pickup

Kneecap - Bunch of people have requested it

Palaye Royale - solid rock pickup

 

And I’m sure there are more that I am personally not aware of and great pickups

Guys, am I the only one here, who is actually excited from this first announcement?

Well, maybe I started to losing my hope since covid, but lineup is actually good one.

 

Anyma would be mindblowing,

Chapelle & Charlie, two great pop names,

Blossoms, Papa Roach, Palaye Royale, great live bands

Nelly Furtado, good name for us old guys 🙂 

Justice, Boris, Brutalismus, Madonna, Armin, thats actually good electronic names.

 

I mean for festival which its last year went -5M EUR its actually solid lineup, we can be happy that there is not Halot Penz headlining 🙂

That’s where it goes sideways. While recently I started to enjoy some electronic music, it’s still one of my less favourite genre. Especially not on a main stage where the main aspect is ‘parasztvakitas’ (I hope you were the one to mention this phrase previously) with lasers and fireworks and drops in every 5 seconds.
 

I’m sure I will enjoy most of the acts you listed, buy what I really need is bands with actual guitars. 

[SweetJesus]

Can’t wait for Exit and Freqeuncy lineup so Sziget won’t be the worst next summer

I feel the same. I do enjoy electronic/techno sometimes, but it's not the main genre I'm gonna play at home and at festivals I can't listen to it for too long. I also love the visuals and laser/light shows and can't wait for Justice and Anyma, but I also need more live music

Yes I was the one! 😄 It is parasztvakitas but it’s next level compared to what you are saying, AND it will only get better because he is doing shows in the Sphere so I can only imagine they will up the visuals massively

Boris - great

 

wow so i did solve a clue without understanding haha
(one of the clues' first letters added up to Boris but i never knew who he was)

[Emjane]

Controversial apparently but the line up so far is solid, even listening to a few of the undercards they’ve got a fair few solid acts!

What a production! Shame not a single person in the crowd seems to be dancing...

[sandorbeni]

Is Anyma and Grimes still together btw? Would love to see her at sziget too
