21p pop? 

But they are still not in the clear rock category anyways, I wouldn't consider them as a rock act they are hip-hop,electropop,indie pop and alt rock but thats not an actual rock, you can go check that so yeah

Im an old boy and don't really see sub genres as a thing, apart from the music media making up. So for me its Metal, Rock, indie, dance and folk. 

 

Although lets be real. Sziget are not having 21p, BMTH and Deftones headlining in 2026. 

 

It will be an EDM act, even more so that there isnt a shortage mid August.

Anyone else chomping at the bit for some more 'concrete' announcements? Feels like it's a constant stream of PR social media posts, none of which are really saying anything.

The Wombats announced for Grape festival in Slovakia for the 15h of August (Saturday).

I know they're boring for anyone in the UK but they have only played in Hungary in 2008 (Sziget) and 2015, missed both of those occasions so I'd love to catch them this time.

I caught them a couple of years ago at a UK festival and, got to say, they were far, far better than I expected. Far more entertaining than The Kooks were at Sziget last year.

 

Would make a great, fun, late afternoon booking.

Sziget has a really nice undercard this year.

 

I think the one or two of the headliners could be stronger and they aren’t necessary my cup of tea (bar Florence & the machine which is always a great booking for the festival, and also Sombr who I would be excited to see live).

 

However , the undercard has some real gems.

 

Cassia, Loyle Carner, Parcels, Paris Paloma, Sub Focus , Tomora, Wolf Alice & Zimmer 90.

 

The festival has made some really strong bookings for the undercard this year and the line-up as a whole (for me) is far superior to last year’s.

A couple of acts we've really got into this year are Swimming Paul and oskar med k.

 

Does anyone know if they're likely to be playing in Revolut, or more likely to play somewhere in Delta District?

Swimming Paul will be revolut i would be surprised if not. but he’s the kind of alternative electronic music which i usually find at a38 (revolut).

2 of my favourite acts so far. with Nation of Language. Sziget seems to have the ones to have in 2026! 👏

I agree, have discovered some great acts this year. 

 

From a ticket-sale point of view, I suspect they still need to announce a couple (at least) of well know mid-size names, along with a strong Saturday headliner to get the attention of more punters.

 

There aren't that many acts i would have known at Sziget if I was just casually looking and comparing European festival line-ups this year. Maybe 15 or so.

i would be happy but looking at their schedule only 14th could work. but it is very close to us.

Way Out West teasing The Hives on Facebook, according to that forum. Got to say, their line-up this year is amazing, they've absolutely knocked it out of the park.

 

Loving the Sziget line-up so far, but there's a good dozen of acts at WoW that I'd like to see.

Way out west always have a cracking lineup, pity it clashes with Sziget.

The Cure at Paleo Switzerland. A festival of the size of Sziget should have them, not? 

I'm surprised they don't. They seem to be having a career resurgence with younger people too.

 

Think the boat has been missed now though.

Most of The Cure's calendar filled up well before Xmas when it wasn't even sure if Sziget was happening. 

 

Not entirely sure they could have fit Sziget in with other festivals even if they were asked.

 So Budapest Park Stage is a new stage and some of the already announced names are playing there (Beton, Analog Balaton..)  

Finally some news regarding organization. 

I'm really curious about the size of this stage as some of the announced names are really big in Hungary

    • 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.
