Thats not gonna happen, balatonsound (4days, approx 160-200 thousand visitors) was a purely EDM music fest organized also by sziget team, was not profitable anymore mainly due to lack of foreign visitors year by year, sziget organizers have decided to discontinue. sziget as a potential edm fest could not compete with other major edm fests in europe, sziget remains unique cause its widely multigenre music and also cultural (art staffs, civils, theatre, circus shows, etc).

Hi there, can’t wait for the first clue

Tate Mcrae or Troye Sivan is way more cheaper than Sabrina. I think it would be better option to book them

Sziget organizers already dropped two other hungarian mediumsize festivals, VOLT (max 140000 attendants) in 2022, and Balatonsound (170000 max) this year due to non-profitability, and they are only focusing to sziget next year

I think this edition was quite okay, revolute stage was more than good, some of the main headliners were surprisingly great

Visitor attendance of the two major hungarian music festivals very accurately reflects to the hungarian economical crisis Balatonsound Sziget 2016 - 157000 2016 - 496000 2017 - 157000 2017 - 452000 2018 - 165000 2018 - 565000 2019 - 172000 2019 - 530000 2022 - 140000 2022 - 452000 2023 - 88000 2023 - 420000 2024 - 100000 2024 - 400000

Some hungarian news portals reported these numbers. Like in every year. https://www.penzcentrum.hu/szorakozas/20240808/kiderult-brutal-penzt-kert-a-sziget-fellepesert-kylie-minogue-skrillex-martin-garrix-1154832/amp https://m.hvg.hu/elet/20240808_kylie-minogue-sziget-fesztival-fellepes-363-millio-forint-sztarfellepo-halsey-sam-smith-louis-tomlinson-liam-callagher-martin-garrix-skrillex

The list of most cosly performances is diff. Booking fees according to celebrity talent int. Halsey 1.5 million $ Sam 1.5 million $ Kylie 1million $ Fred 0.5 million $ Martin 0.5-0.75million $ Skrillex 0.5-0.75million $ Liam 0.2million $

Halsey costs the most though

My prediction for 6 headliners: EDM: calvin harris / tiesto (maybe this time cos he has never performed yet at sziget) instead of the ordinary garrix/harris/guetta pattern… rock: maneskin (theres quite huge demand from visitors, subscribers from forums and online platforms) pop: troye sivan / tate mcrae (something new for the younger generations) rap: lil nas x / doja cat surprise: shakira other: weeknd or another indie rock act (like hozier, cos thats another common critics to sziget that theres too less rock year by year..)

Anyone found the secret ToiToi party?

Preselected list in the wishing machine for sziget artists, i assume there should be some real potential candidates for subs and headliners since they ve must have already been in the booking process

Kinda excited about Kylie, she has only a few tour dates in 2024/2025
