Florence just announced the new album.

Nice 'cheap' headliner for them. But, third time in six editions might prove too much.

 

Was looking at some of Chase and Status's performance at Pukkelpop earlier. I think they'd bring the vibe and energy to Sziget. Not sure if they're big enough to headline or not though. Be an amazing sub for someone.

 

Really think that if we are waiting on a big act being announced, they may be balanced by smaller acts such as Florence, C&S, Yungblud etc.

I’d happily take them. They were at Strand festival last year and coming to Budapest Park in September - both times with a dj set…

I was wondering what's the difference between their DJ set vs their regular performance? I mean, aren't they two DJs anyway? Are they normally playing Baddadan on a flute or something?

With live set they have drums, synths and a guitar as well. It's much much better. It's legit a concert with their songs rather than DJ set which is essentially who knows what drum and bass songs. Seen both and their LIVE sets are brilliant, sometimes reaching Prodigy live vibes. They usually have a few singers join them, but yes rest of vocals come from the tape. See these

Wow. That's quite cool actually!

Just read some rumours regarding Maneskin’s comeback. If it turns out to be true I definitely see them as one of the headliners next year.

 

I cant seem them having more than 1 rock headliner. With Foo Fighters heavily rumoured for reading/Leeds, it has to be them. Especially as every time they have headlined, they have sold very well. Bit of a no brainer for me.

That's true, but they had good support that day back in 2019. Twenty One Pilots were kind of co-head (listed as headliner on poster as well) and had great turnout and also some decent rock names were there, such as Idles, John Marr and Frank Carter. Something similar would be needed next year too.

Foo Fighters would sell on there own, was a cracking day though.

Sziget weirdly didn't bring Maneskin or Damiano last 5 editions since they become global hit after Eurovision so can't see why would that change. 

They usually follow Isle of MTV Malta, because Alok and Nelly performed before. If Damiano David or DJ Snake continues touring, they will call and try to get them, for sure.

Strand Festival (a smaller Hungarian festival normally a week after Sziget) will announce their exact date for next year early-September. I'm wondering if that's because of Sziget announcing it in the first days of September as well.

Someone said on Reddit that Sziget officials said they will announce the dates and start the early bird tickets in September because they want people to get their next salary. Might be bs, but also makes sense in a way.

I've just seen this: https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=1361277508687659&set=a.383891086426311 Could be this is what we're waiting for? 

I highly doubt it. They will milk this cow as long as possible. Can’t see them at festivals next year, even if the do festivals, I doubt Sziget has the funds for them.

How legit are these though…I mean I’m sure they will do Knebworth,but the rest

I'm following him since years and most of his leaks were legit. He is a French journalist and radio presenter. But of course this poster could be absolute fake as well.

    • 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.
