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.

    • A mixed first day for us. First of all, we were honestly quite shocked that there was no security check at all at the VIP entrance around 7:30 PM. No bag check, nothing. I’ve attended Primavera many times over the years and this felt surprisingly lax for an event of this size. Did anyone else experience the same?   Another disappointment was the communication regarding the weather situation. Primavera has some of the best sound systems and speaker setups in the festival world, yet somehow they were not able to make a single clear announcement explaining what was happening. Instead, people were expected to read tiny messages on screens in Mordor while thousands were left wondering what was going on. A simple and direct audio announcement would have gone a long way.   On a lighter note, this guy absolutely made my day. Sitting right in front of the Estrella Damm terrace, wearing nothing but a long-sleeve shirt, jeans and a pair of Converse All Stars, he remained completely unbothered by the rain. While everyone else was looking for shelter, he sat there wearing sunglasses, calmly watching the crowd as if he was watching a movie.   Absolute main character energy!
    • I think my party got pretty lucky last night, at least compared to some of the horror stories over on Reddit. I was very impressed with Father John Misty in particular.   Perhaps my view would be different if I were a big Massive Attack fan or whatever, but right now my feeling is that if it's not safe for the shows to go ahead... then it's not safe for the shows to go ahead. I'd much rather they were cautious than roll the dice when it comes to something like that.    Here's hoping everyone has a better day today. 
    • It was awful during Father John Misty and I was close to the front. People just shouting and laughing their f-ing heads off about nothing in particular and being louder than the bloody stage.
    • Other things I noted yesterday, away from the obvious…   Positives: - an extra water point towards the back left of the main stages has appeared, which I believe is new for this year (and was much needed) - handing out free ponchos was a good touch  - caroline were fantastic. I’d never been in the Auditori Rockdelux before, it’s a wonderful venue and a great venue if you fancy a more chilled out environment  Negatives: - the talkers. I know it’s always bad here (and most festivals nowadays) but f**k me people wouldn’t shut up yesterday. I wonder if it was partly as a result of people being at artists they had little interest in (due to rain limiting their options), although it wasn’t great during blood orange. We’ll be making an effort to get a spot nearer the front for anyone we particularly care about over the weekend  - not enough staff around (and the ones that are there are largely useless). Most other festivals have them everywhere and are happy to help
