Also, they're recruiting small Italian bands on Facebook. Maybe there will be small, nation-specific stages as well? 

 

Damn, I wish they would bring back Coma Cose at Sziget. They were few years ago on Europe Stage I think and I remember that the atmosphere was crazy during their gig, the crowd was incredible especially during this song:

Btw they are advertising Sziget by claiming there will be 500+ artists, did we already have that much last year?

Light Stage always has lots of Italian bands for some reason so they will be there.

The reason is that the organizers of the Light Stage schedule are the guys from Alternativa Events who are Italians. In the past, they also had a dedicated camping area, called Alternativa Camping, with "Italian hospitality". Back then they were involved in the Europe Stage schedule, as they put that stage close to their camp side.

they are doing a video series confirming  days and so far only mainstage. yesterday nelly furtado, 7th, mainstage.

Hopefully, it will alleviate fears that they haven't already half-filled the main stage with some of the smaller acts announced.

 

Hopefully.....

Syd For Solen in Copenhagen (same week as Sziget, last year they shared a few names) just announced Sam Fender, Confidence Man and Overmono for their Friday program. It also seems like the name under Sam Fender on the lineup is Hozier. Would you like any of these on Sziget? We had Overmono in 2024 and Confidence Man in 2023, but wouldn't say no to any of them

I'm a big fan of Sam Fender. First saw him in 2018 at a tiny venue in Leeds (capacity around 150) and seen his popularity grow and grow. Seen him six times, most recently last month. I would love for him to be there.

 

That said, judging by the reaction to him being announced as headliner at Rock Werchter and Nos Alive, his UK popularity does not appear to translate into mainland Europe so I'd understand if others don't share my enthusiasm.

 

As for Confidence Man, they're such an entertaining act that I defy anyone to not be delighted by them being announced!

It’s not Hozier because the same word is also repeated under Confidence Man and Overmono so must mean something else (like ‘name’ or ‘TBA’).

I really like Hozier so I would be very happy if he's added to the lineup. I'm not sure if they would put him as a standalone headliner or co-headline with someone like Fender or before a Dj

Hozier and Sam Fender together as co-heads would be great, but Hozier has almost ten times the number of monthly Spotify listeners compared to Fender so suspect he would want the main slot.

 

Can't imagine Fender being happy with a glorified sub slot given that he's headlining every other festival he's playing this summer.

With Justice and Nelly Furtado both playing the same day, does this mean Justice will be playing a38/revolut or could it be a case of Nelly subbing, with a Justice closing set? 

Difficult to predict until we know what the new plans for the festival are. Will there still be an A38/Revolut stage? Your guess is as good as mine!

Hozier has never played in Hungary, perhaps its 1 country he does nothing. 

 

Would be a massive jump from never playing Hungary to headliner. If he was a huge headliner around the world I'd say yeah, but is about the size of fender. 

 

Judging by his tours, it's the American market he is after.

Hozier is waaay bigger than Fender, outside of probably the UK.

If the stages remain the same, Justice would be too big for the Revolut stage. Maybe Nelly could take the 17:30 slot, and Justice the 19:15?


I’m thinking there might be a bigger Party arena this year. Think about it, Armin also not headlinig. Where does he fit? Sub headliner? That’s strange to me. Daylight Armin show? Then yes, Justice is a bit big for Revolut, but also not great in the daylight on the main stage, plus no way Nelly is playing 3rd down from headliner.

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
    • Yup and they aren't cheap   Glastonbury is different though, it's a place that will pack out for rarities they don't usually see. Download strictly speaking shouldn't be the strangest place for Avril to pop up of she had been a touring artist of longer times over the years.   Avril and GC would get the same billing for me and GC are selling arenas out quicker than Avril sold Ally Pally. Bearing in mind she'd pnly done soem Brixton dates before.
    • Avril gets above GC on rarity (see Cypress Hill this year). She drew in something like 70,000 at Glastonbury, so much so that they had to close the field off. I’d wager that she would get the biggest crowd of the entire weekend if she was to play DL.
