Linkin Park is not coming to Europe just to play Sziget

Linkin park will be already in Europe, however official tour ends in 30th june in zurich, its also not unusual that they have a month break during tour, and maybe they will extend the european leg with some extra festival spots.

 

Some more relative arguments

*Linkin park was mentioned one of the radio interviews with the CEO

*The tour skipped Budapest (and complete East-South Europe/balcan countries

*In Hungary they have a huge multigen. fan base

*Novelty of the band (new vocalist) and unique spot would improve sziget prestige

*LP had an appearance in Volt festival (organized by sziget team) in 2017, the concert was a great success for the festival, never played in sziget though

*if Gerendai wants to bring back some old sziget vibe from golden era, LP would be a perfect choose along with Prodigy

Gerendai confirmed several times in interviews that they dont intend to do relevant budget cuts on lineup

What does that mean ?

The old Sziget vibe was more to do with the additional activities and week passes.  It was mostly festival people who knew how to party and integrate and interact with others.  I think remove the pop headliners that attract day ticket people who Moan and camp in front of the main stage.  They add zero vibe.   Instead replace with festival big hitters.  Prodigy, foo fighters, chemical brothers.  I’m not against new headliners chapel roan put on a great show last year as did anyma.  But chapel did attract a load of insular day ticket holders who watched her and left straight afterwards.

 

the additional activities were all the free crazy stuff,  Hungarian dancing, karaoke, ruin bar quarter,  workshops everywhere, cheap shisha bars,  free massage,  disability park,  lots of roaming bands, light displays,  etc.   free challenges, less corporate sponsors doing photo points.  Brands need to offer more,  a cool bar or activity,  the brand ishould be secondary to the activity the are offering.  Bring back the opera, world music, hippie vibe instead of insta vibe.

There are no festivals they could play in August. Most of the relevant markets (Germany, Belgium or UK) is already covered so no Pukkelpop, Frequency, Reading and Leeds…

[mathuska]

When talked about the business plans and risks, he said the main focus is to improve overall sziget experience but it doesnt mean they should cut the budget for the performers, they intend to dictate trends (as one of the biggest european festivals) rather than follow international trends.

[sandorbeni]

My reservations about next years headliners/lineup are not necessarily about the budget, rather the fact that they started booking artists much later than most other festivals.

Amyl probably ruled out…

Maybe not! They said they still had a couple unannounced gigs left in this timeframe, so the 11th could work. Also, they said  in Dublin they would play with Mannequin Pussy - so they are also active and maybe could make up for the show they missed last year. Hoping for both, but would be happy with one of those.

Scratch that just checked Mannequin Pussy and they are still in the States in August, so no.

20h drive from Budapest to Oslo…but if they are flying, then it’s not a problem.

Omg!!! I had only just mentioned Sombr😍

@Sziget2025_Leaks will Sziget share some headliners with Madcool?

[activean]

I've been telling people on Reddit that  there is no way in this univere, that this sh*t list is real, as fake as it can be. 

 

Hope Sombr is just a coincidence 😂

Yes I saw it this is what I said there

 

Sombr is not that bad but not the best tho if he would be on like revolut stage or maybe mainstage but not headlining

 

And the others... Hell nahh like what are these headliners I thought they want to revive sziget not dump it even more, Gerendai is back so what about at least one rock or metal act ? Anyways if not there are still much better pop-rap-indie name options for them to choose what will be in europe

 

Looks like we are really getting sombr because I said this before the leak

Yeah I saw this as well. Sombr has already been announced for wow during sziget so it's not a surprise if he is at sziget. Olivia Dean is in the US during sziget so definitely out. The others haven't really been announced to festivals or no tour dates for next year at all as far as I know (edit: I mean tour and festival dates in Europe), so I'm pretty sure this is fake. The same user said before that Katy Perry will be at sziget this year (2025). So it's not really a trustworthy source.

Seems like they just tried to put a list together with names that have a lot of buzz to farm some engagement.
