There will we a podium discussion on tuesday (same day with the announcement) with Gerendai organized by Forbes, i am going to participate.. maybe he will talk about his vision about the future of the sziget festival

Anything new about the south part of the island, where some installations are supposed to be? Does this mean a reduction or expansion of the festival space, can they use some Infrastructure? Let us know if there will be anything mentioned. 

[mathuska]

Sure, im not sure he will talk to much about sziget, but if i have any chance i try to ask. Also im very interested if they will keep this 5 days setup later as well or return to 6/7days. will be any changes of booking concept.. i ll let u know

Pukkelpop isn't announcing any names tomorrow. It's just the start of the wishlist.

Really? That's disappointing.

Okay @Sziget2025_Leaks, ready when you are.

[kristofm]

A Hungarian celebrity (Sebestyén Balázs) just announced a DJ set to the main field area of Óbuda Island, 3 days before Sziget, claims its unrelated to the festival, separate event, and Sziget-tickets won't be valid.

 

I'm wondering how can you hold an event like that at the time, constructions on the island start weeks before the festival. Or is it going to be pretty much ready by then, and he's going to "rent" the main stage and stuff?

They are probably doing this to split some of the costs, smart financial decision given the circumstances this year.

 

Meanwhile, a few headliner/act clues on the IG page?

"He talked about issues that related to me and IT REALLY HELPED ME through my dark times."

"It's important because it's been MY CHILDHOOD DREAM to see him."

"The first time I came here I made SO MANY FRIENDS and like so many different people."

Lyrics match for The 1975….

You got me all excited by the screenshot and placebo. Especially as they announced a gig this morning.

They announced last week that they are working on two new albums, with rumours circulating of potential festival gigs in 2026.....

I dont know a lot about 1975, but wouldnt they have announced festival gigs by now? Especially in the UK and Reading? Can only see a possible APE show left in the UK.

You would imagine so, however I wouldn’t rule out one/two shows to start the album cycle, they did this in 2022 with the last album and Hyde Park haven’t done all of their announcements yet for next year, purely speculation but don’t think it’s impossible

These are just quotes people said in a recently posted video.

This.

 

And about the 1975, no way they are coming. Their first show back is not going to be at Sziget.. Also, the lyrics is "With So many friends I don't wanna meet". They are not going to use 3 random words out of a random song for a clue

Yeah, I think they main acts we get tomorrow will come from the already-known list of headliners who are already doing the rounds. Maybe a new EDM headliner but the rest are going to be from a quite short short-list.

 

Which isn't a bad thing (for me, at least) as I'd happily take 80% of them. 

 

The main nail-biter is the undercard, with so many good undercard acts around next year I just fear there could be a swing and a miss if they don't get some of the best ones.

There weren't too many people who showed up for The 1975 at Sziget 2019.

On their social media straight after the 2019 Sziget show the band declared it as their favourite ever gig, so there's certainly some love from the band towards the festival. They've become much bigger since that show, headlined Glastonbury last year.

 

Still unlikely it's them though, with no other festivals announced for 2026.

Maybe, but in this area of Europe I'm not so sure they became much more popular.

 

On the other hand, Placebo would also fit Gerendai's idea of bringing back some of the older "szitizens". And this band also loved Sziget, they played it more than once but didn't come back since 2014. However, I don't think it's a clue for them, because they're singing "too many friends", not "so many friends". 😞

https://www.openairsg.ch/ This Swiss festival in late June announced some names, they've got Of Monsters And Men and Wet Leg alongside Twenty One Pilots.

I’m a huge Placebo fanboy, but I’m not sure they are in a position where they should headline.

I don’t really care about 21P, but the other two would be ace

In 2014 they agreed to play before Skrillex, so technically they didn't headline back then either. I guess they would accept that spot again IF the festival wants them AND IF they're also available in August.

[kristofm]

I think they would've said 'too many friends' if it was Placebo. And even if they hinted at Placebo 24 hours before the announcement they would've used a more clear clue.

I personally don't think those 3 stories are clues.

Wet Leg!! Lol

 

Of Monsters and Men are a band I saw a couple of times around 2016 and they absolutely blew me away. Phenomenal live act, would be very happy if they were announced.
