I would be very surprised if we don't get at least seven 'headliners'.

Even if there are 7 headliners, which I doubt 2 out of the missing 3 would be as big as Sombr and Capaldi at best, most likely even smaller, so who cares if the put those acts at the top of the bill or as subs, fact of the matter is there is only one headliner missing.

Possibly. Possibly not. Time will tell.

Not really, just what we already know, he mostly talked about the political, financial difficulties and legal issues with the Budapest council. There was no opportunity to ask questions from the audience. I had chance for a short private conversation but i didnt want to be too pushy, he talked about what he think could be the bad decisions of the former management. He tries to target wilder audience and improve the festival experience.

Still dreaming of Deftones and/or Turnstile being booked. There's plenty of Sziget target audience listening to this kind of stuff!!!

Turnstile are my most wanted act for 2026.

 

Mind you, Wet Leg was my most wanted for 2023, 2024 and 2025 and look how that turned out.......!

Bittersweet has just announced Lorde on 13.08 and they have previously announced Gorillaz and Tom Odell. They do share 21P with Sziget.

13.08 - Bittersweer
14.08 - Syd for Solen
15.08 - Way Out West

So it's 11.08 or nothing for Sziget, personally think she's out.

She'd make a pretty decent co-headliner with Sombr. Suspect there would be a decent amount of crossover in their fans too. Sombr into Lorde would work quite well.

 

However, she headlined in 2023 (and so did Florence). I suspect they might not want two headliners from the same year returning quite so quickly.

Guys, I wouldnt worry about the lineup honestly, sziget announcements works totally differently, fe in 2025 there was 3 waves of announcements, half of the major headliners came with the second wave, also some nice subs (like FKA twigs) with the 3rd wave, AND they are 3 months behind “normal” schedule. Im pretty sure we will have some pleasant surprise. I really dont get the huge disappointment year by year after the first announcement, but eventually all turns out pretty well. Based on the budget and the estimation of booking fees we can expect many more nice acts.

and they should change that because it's not working. If it was working the festival would be still profitable.

Well it is what it is, maybe they will change it, but i doubt, they will,  maybe they are doing it to boost the ticket selling with additional names but a bit higher prices

We love Sziget the way it is, even the oddities of there online presence. 😄

 

Even with the strong lineups of Primavera and Werchter, Sziget is what im excited about.

Regarding currently known names on the lineup... Sombr apart, if I am citizen of Budapest and got free tickets I still wouldn't go...

 

And that's fine. I've paid and I'm happy to be going. Different strokes for different folks. This is just the beginning, plenty more acts to be announced but there's a dozen so far that I'm happy with.

Been checking out zimmer90, not heard of them before. They have a really good electronic pop sound, really good on the ear.

Agreed. They remind me of early-era Parcels.

 

Got them on my playlist/watchlist, along with Florence, sombr, 21P, Biffy, Tash Sultana, Underworld, Tomora, Antony Szmierek, Brooke Combe, Cassia, Charlotte Cardin, Lambrini Girls, Paris Paloma and Oskar Med K. 

14 names from first announcement. I'll take that.

Underworld and TOMORA looking like Revolut Stage headliners - wonder if Tash Sultana could do Main Stage

I tend to agree. Who, of the current announced line-up, do we think will be subs?

 

Working on the theory that Sombr is co-headlining he would be one, I guess Biffy would be two. 

 

I can't think that anyone else on the bill is big enough?

    • 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.
    • Yup and they aren't cheap   Glastonbury is different though, it's a place that will pack out for rarities they don't usually see. Download strictly speaking shouldn't be the strangest place for Avril to pop up of she had been a touring artist of longer times over the years.   Avril and GC would get the same billing for me and GC are selling arenas out quicker than Avril sold Ally Pally. Bearing in mind she'd pnly done soem Brixton dates before.
    • Avril gets above GC on rarity (see Cypress Hill this year). She drew in something like 70,000 at Glastonbury, so much so that they had to close the field off. I’d wager that she would get the biggest crowd of the entire weekend if she was to play DL.
