Sziget 2013

[rug568]

Get paid today so am buying my ticket. Haven't been this excited about a fest since my first one in 2010.

[PastCaring]

Surely, we can expect an announcement or two soon?

[Cristall]

Last year the first announcement was in December (The Stone Roses), but in previous years we had to wait for February or March.

Does anyone know if e-tickets are used for Sziget?

Ive downloaded the app from this years festival and it has a programme on the sunday, I thought camping didnt start until the monday.

Or is this day just for locals?

Last edition an extra day with performances was added, but this was with local acts only and the day was not included in the festival ticket. I think this extra day was because of the twentieth edition, so I don't expect it will return in 2013.

Camping usually is possible from the saturday prior to the festival, but since the festival ticket is valid from monday extra day tickets need to be bought for earlier entrance. Last edition these day tickets were priced €15 for the saturday and €17 for the sunday, the years before that €10 per day. I usually arrive as early as possible and use the first days to explore Budapest. This year I also went to the spa party in Szechenyi fürdo on the saturday before the festival and, as it was a great party, I definitely want to go there again next year. I found it a very nice extra to my festival holiday.

I have my ticket, if anyone cares.

[rug568]

My Bloody Valentine?

New album out and it would be incredible.

[thetime]

When does the lineup start to trickle in?

[Uncle Liam]

Dunno.

I have a horrible feeling that Kings of Leon will be playing, and if that's true they could be announced at any time.

Stone Roses was December. Hurts etc was about Feb/March.

Year before first announcement was February.

Got to agree with Rug568 MBV would be fantastic, they are playing in Australia and Japan early in the new year so I am keeping my fingers crossed..The wish list is on the Sziget website so put in 10 bands you want to see at this years fest.

Depeche Mode are a no. They already have a stadium gig in Budapest booked.

[spudling]

Thats a relief about Depeche mode.

Citypass online before. Swap it at the airport.

[Lambo_KoRn]

Nice review lambo, gives a newbie a little insight.

Interested in the free coach from the airport you mentioned. Do you have to pre book? Or do you just turn up? Im presuming you need a city pass to use it, do you buy the city pass beforehand or once you get to the airport?

One last question(for now lol), does the free bus run on the monday when the fest starts?

[Uncle Liam]

That could be useful as I dont actually know where the supermarket is.

[Cristall]

Map: A = supermarket parking lot, B = festival entrance

Tickets for me and two friends bought!!!

Done many international festivals (Benicassim, Primavera, Oxegen, Rock Werchter, Coachella...), but first time in Sziget!!!

Any idea for the line up? Headliners?

Things like... Muse, Green Day, Kings of Leon, Daft Punk, The Prodigy?
