Sziget 2012

[jmcevoy2]

When do you think we will get a next announcement? Monday maybe?

[jmcevoy2]

yeah ive seen now, wouldnt think there that weak to be fair. Quite comparable to white lies.

[deegs]

A little dissappointed with Placebo headlining, as the organisers said it was the strongest line-up yet. They must be big in Hungary I suppose?

[Cristall]

Each year Sziget has some shitty headliner. Luckily the other acts usually make up for that!

Headliners in the past five years:

2011: Prince, Pulp, The Prodigy, Chemical Brothers, 30STM and White Lies.

2010: Faithless, Iron Maiden, Muse, The Specials, 30STM and Madness.

2009: The Prodigy, Faith No More, Fatboy Slim, Placebo and Lily Allen.

2008: Iron Maiden, Jamiroquai, The Killers, The Kooks, R.E.M. and Sex Pistols.

2007: Manu Chao, Chemical Brothers, Madness, Nine Inch Nails, Tool, Faithless and The Killers.

Anybody know which day the Roses will be playing yet?

[Cristall]

No, daily schedules usually come around June. However, it could be The Stone Roses announce the day of their performance earlier.

[Cristall]

Time to get excited, there'll be a new announcement tomorrow! Hopefully there'll be more acts announced than only Placebo.

Sziget Festival nr. 20 announces: Placebo l Hurts l The Horrors l Mando Diao lFriendly Fires l Noah And The Whale l The Subways l Crystal Fighters ...

[jmcevoy2]

Will any of todays announcements (except placebo) be headlining? I assume and hope not

[Uncle Liam]

Hurts might, based on the reaction they got last year.

[Cristall]

I think not... They will be performing on Main Stage, but I guess in the afternoon or early in the evening.

[jmcevoy2]

Biggest Sziget and Hurts headline lol-that'd be a sham

[j...rox]

Based on efests announcement i'm not sure Placebo are headlining. Certainly no mention. I'd be happy if they were a sub to someone else for sure.

Very pleased to see The Horrors announced, poor sound in the JP tent at Glastonbury ruined their set last year so hoping this will make up for it.

[Ben Holland]

Got to be honest......Very disappointing additions in my humble opinion.

There is only 1 band I want to see so far, The Stone Roses, and I'm going to Heaton Park to see them. With flights SO expensive to Budapest at the moment.....I think I may just wait for further announcements until I decide whether to book on or not.

The only thing for sure about Hurts, is they will be playing on Main Stage this year. Last year they played the A38 tent, a step up to a headline slot would be very surprising. I wouldn't worry for that!

Placebo may well be headlining, as they have headlined before, but even for them this hasn't been officially confirmed (@Sziget isn't an official twitter account). But hey, Sziget is 7 days, so they'll always have some good and some bad headliners. Just like there will always be many bands you like and many bands you don't like. Only nine acts of 1,000 have been announced so far, nothing to worry about!

[Ben Holland]

Stone Roses playing Monday 6th at Sziget apparently......

[Cristall]

That would be surprising... Usually there are no big international headliners on the monday. Where did you get that info?

Just saw that eFestivals links to See for tickets, but szigetfest.co.uk is cheaper

and at szigetfest.co.uk your purchase is far less safe.
