Sziget 2016

[Noeliam]

Great - Manu Chao

Good - Fidlar, Kaiser Chiefs, Boys Noize

Big disappointment - End show

[neacaisa]

Probably no other mainstage headliner, other than Hardwell. Kaizers and Manu Chao as subs are pretty solid. Manu Chao could go to the world stage too. 

[Noeliam]

Manu Chao will play the main stage (press release). so either him or Bastille are headlining!

[Bilbo Baggins]

Should we expect anymore headliners? I'm guessing most of the lineup is done now.

The day -1 headliner is yet to be announced. All the other headline spot are taken now: Rihanna, Bastille/Manu Chao, Muse, David Guetta, Sia, Hardwell. 

[neacaisa]

wow, if that is the headliner list, it looks pretty bad, to be honest.  I was thinking that sia/bastille are not headliner material, but I was wrong probably.

LE: Sia is a headliner for sure... but bastille now are becoming coheadliners along Manu Chao if they are in the same day. Overall, the headliners list looks very pop oriented.

My thoughts exactly, was hoping for a better headliner than bastille/Manu Chao and Sia.

Hopefully the day -1 would be someone decent. Are the red hot chilli peppers still in rumored to headline?

Yes, and I think the day -1 headliner is gonna be a big name. Rock probably. Red Hot, or if they fail, Rammstein? I don't know who else. The first two times I went to Sziget I watched 6 of 7 headliners, this time it's gonna be much less and I'm ok with it

[neacaisa]

There is a lot of value in the other artists, so you don't have to worry about the headliners. My predictions are RHCP or Rammstein too.

True! but If we get RHCP and Biffy Clyro I would be extremely happy with the line up

[Noeliam]

I think Biffy can be added between Guetta and Sum 41.

[ilbeyene]

Sia is not the headlining act alone, I think that day the headlining acts are the combination of first Noel Gallagher and then Sia. Same thing with Manu Chao-Bastille and the last day if they put someone bigger than The Last Shadow Puppets before Hardwell. I also think we can expect a big name before Guetta (Biffy Clyro? I hope so, Noeliam) like Kasabian-Avicii, QOTSA-deadmau5, Placebo-Skrillex or Outkast-Calvin Harris in the last 2 years. Then I'm really curious to see who's gonna be the day -1 headliner.

Josh Klingoffer (guitarist) said to 2 of my friends that as far as he knows RHCP will play in Budapest in August some festival. He was on tour with his friends (the singer from Warpaint and her project or something) as a special guest in London, Paris and Brussels and they met him in Brussels after the show. 

[ilbeyene]

You're not the first one who says Red Hot will be in Budapest, but I really don't understand why Sziget would wait so much. Maybe we'll get this info after the price increases, let's wait and see.

[amfy]

Feeling really gutted not to see The Chemical Brothers crop up today. They are down for a few European festivals this summer so I thought there was a good chance. 

I checked out Hardwell on YouTube and it's totally not my thing AT ALL! The clip I found started off really Chemical Brothersish, but then turned to crap the moment he walked on stage!

The Kaisers are still a great live band and will be fun.

[calrooke]

I would have thought RHCP would have been announced by now if they're going to be at Sziget

[#1SzigetFan]

It seems that Manu Chao will headline Day 1, if the order of their latest line-up list matters. Now there is only one headline spot, for "Day -1". I hope for a big one.

[Bilbo Baggins]

Yep, seems so. Let's hope we don't have to wait ages to find out

[Noeliam]

Rammstein announced a date yesterday in Poland at the end of august so they can still be in the mix I hope.

Btw the Europe Stage headliner will now start playing at 20:00; last year the headliner's set ended at 19:00.

[Noeliam]

And Thy Veils confirmed for the Chill Garden.

+ a few announcements for the Europe Stage.

[Noeliam]

They added the "Blues pub" on the map.

Hey,

I'm new to this form but just wondering if anyone knows whether there will be bungee jumping this year at Sziget? Or what other activities there will be? Looking for things to do during the day before the party gets going

You can check all the venues on the program/map: https://www.facebook.com/szigetfrance/photos/a.10150620538974947.398511.147383019946/10154767865039947/?type=3&theater

All of non-musical activities to do during the day, and the sport zone is back so the bungee should be there.
