Sziget 2026

The Oasis 'leak' is horsesheeeyite. Slane Castle gigs have taken place on a weekend ever since they began in 1982. It's 10 miles from Drogheda, 30 from Dublin, a 'mare to travel to and from.

 

They're not doing a Wednesday night there.

Looks like someone has cobbled a few expected dates. They look plausible though, the actual dates maybe not. They won't be at Sziget, thankfully.

Just quick assumptions on next years headliner:

 

- Olivia Rodrigo

- The Weeknd

- Florence + The Machine

- Yungblud + subhead (Twenty One Pilots?)

- [random mainstream DJ] + subhead

- A$AP Rocky

 

One consideration about the DJ: given the heavy presence of hard-techno in the night stages and the good feedback those stages scored (not on my end, but eh) - I would not flinch if the name would be something more lowkey like Amelie Lens, Charlotte De Witte or Armin Van Bureen (B2B with Indira Paganotto, i.e.).

Last two DJs have been Fred Again... and Anyma: both are surfing the wave, but we are miles away from Hardwell - Martin Garrix - Major Lazer - Avicii - Calvin Harris kind of stuff

Not seen you round these parts for quite some time @Yelo, the Parmiggiana

 

Prison or International Space Station?

Seems like Radiohead is going on tour. I know, I know… but what if? 

 

If they do festivals, I can't really see them doing Sziget. They will do a fair few though. That being said my daughters 16, herself and her circle of friends are all over Radiohead. Far more popular than any of that era's bands.

 

They are my all time fave band, so would love them at Sziget. 

 

I expect them to do the likes of Primavera, Roskilde, Werchter and maybe Way Out West, OYA if they are not in the states in August.

Ahahaha appreciate you noticing - I just took a hiatus from festivals in general.

 Not that I am back in the game, but I got FOMO triggered by my friends to get to Sziget this year, so I still have to shrug it off I guess 😄

why not? because of the date or they would be expensive? they headlined sziget in 2006 and like you said they are popular with all ages, so maaaybe there is a little chance

More about the current party vibe Sziget is going for. I dont envisage more than one guitar band playing next year, I think they’ve had 1 in the last 2 years. That would be more main stream acts, notably foo fighters. Would they have 2 guitar bands from the 90s headlining in 2026? Don't see it personally.

Both Foo Fighters and Radiohead are big hitters who'll help to sell lots of tickets. If both are available promoters definitely try to sign them. 
This year's festival got probably all of the biggest acts that were around as headliners. By the sad consequence none of them was a rock act (Iggy Pop or QOTSA unfortunately won't be able to headline Sziget's main stage these days).

Halsey on tour next year and playing 5,000 capacity venues in UK. Helps identify why 2024 line-up flopped I guess. I like her, but clearly not headline-sized.

Don’t think this tour identifies her size, it’s her first album in full so these are special one off gigs. Would be shocked if she didn’t sell them all out quite quickly.

yeah because Budapest have seen enough of her lol.. Idon't think they would book her AGAIN , after 2019 and 2023 ..

 

Certainly scope for her to play a 6 day festival.

 

Although no Budapest date on a Feb/Mar tour, isn't a indication either way for me. I would expect her to play European festivals in countries on the tour. Certainly one off werchter or pukkelpop, more likely pukkelpop. Which could point her doing the Sziget, Oya, Way out West, Pukkelpop, all points east, rock en seine route.

    • 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.
