No, can happen. In 2014 Blink-182 (headliners of day -1, the first day of the festival) were announced at the end of April, for example  

 

 

Anyway the World Music Stage lineup was announced. I'm pretty happy with it!

Hi guys!! I am new to the site.

Wanted to ask a question about the upgrade campsites. Just saw on facebook that VIP camping is already sold out.

We are two people that wanted to get VIP camping tickets but now is too late. Ive been in Sziget before (2014) on VIP camping and wanted to get back there. What about the rest of the campings (Apero, siesta or alternativa) compared to the VIP? I know those dont have pool, but waht about the rest of the services? Toilets and showers are "clean" as in VIP or more similar to regular ones? Easy to find a shady spot for the tent?

By the way, anyone knows if its possible to get VIP tickets on any other site? Even if its a little more expensive like re-sellers or something like that.

Thank you!!

Hi Hupre!

Ticketswap is a great site for finding tickets that have sold out and there are a couple of Sziget VIP tickets for two people available:

https://www.ticketswap.uk/sziget

I'm actually selling the "Pre-settled Caravan For Two Persons With VIP Camping Tickets" ticket that's at a lower price!  If you want any details about it, feel free to facebook PM me, my details are on the Ticketswap page.

Good luck!

We should be getting new names today.

If we get RHCP and Biffy Clyro I would be extreme happy.

Skunk Anansie.

WHAT A MASSIVE SURPRISE. 

Do Skunk Anansie do any gigs apart from Sziget?

[xDanny]

First time going to this festival, looking at getting 3 separate day tickets but waiting for the full line up ideally to make a choice of days.

Is this an ok plan and if so, how quickly do the day tickets sell out and when usually does the full line up (day by day artist etc) get released?

They also play a few festivals including Pinkpop and Rock in Roma.

Day -1 main stage is Marky Ramone, Skunk Anansie and Die Antwoord, with the headliner to come :)

Day tickets usually only sell out that night.

If you want to go and see Muse and Sigur Ros, get a ticket for that day soon. Ditto Rihanna. The other days probably won't sell out. 

Even if you don't, plenty of touts outside.

Telekom Arena is a more or less only EDM stage and if must be fulfilled. Expect some more.

Hi there,

So this is my first reply here, I was just wondering if we can search for people (alone or not) going to Sziget 2016from any location and form groups to go together as it ill be funnier for everyone  

For example I'm going with a friend from Paris and we're looking for some nice people to go with ^^

Thanks ! Have fun

 

Hi!

I am just looking for the same as you. Unfortunately I have to go alone as my friends can´t afford the trip so I am trying to find some people to join me. If anyone is interested please contact me! I am 26 male from Spain, expecting to make some new friends from everywhere in the world and enjoying the great music in the festival.

How many more headliners/massive acts can we expect to be added? I like the line up so far, but not completely sold

[Noeliam]

One more headliner to come, and one more sub too. +1 main stage opener. 
Many have predicted, here's mine: Red Hot for headlining, Biffy Clyro before Guetta.

Also 75% of party arena is yet to be announced, 99% of collosseum, a lot of the smaller stages (afro-latin reggae, chill garden, petofi volt), and about 25% of the A38 is yet to be completed, including some interesting night spots.

I hope for Red Hot Chili Peppers, but I think Chemical Brothers is more realistic.

I read somewhere that this time A38 stage will be open on Day -1, as well.

Yes I think it was Sziget Italia!

That would be great, the more alternatives the better, and the crowd will be split. But not confirmed officially.

[neacaisa]

Golan have self-confirmed for Sziget, really happy for them, one of the best bands in Romania lately, opened for Parov Stelar this year in their european tour. Too bad they are not so popular in our country, though

Thanks mate! I'd definitely like to see more UK/US bands added to the lineup - RHCP would be awesome

You're welcome

have you ever been to Sziget? I think that you only need one must-see/day, and you'll have the time of your life. The more concerts the better of course, but sometimes you'll be sad to leave a place to go watch something

RHCP would most definitely be welcome though!

No, never been. However, I've been to Glasto a few times and I feel there's a similar vibe between the two. It's more about the experience as a whole than just the artists on the lineup. But as you said, always a bonus to see loads of amazing concerts while you're there.

I do have a couple of questions if you don't mind answering mate:

What's the campsite like? Is it rowdy? Does it get really hot sleeping in the tents?

Also, do you get much time to look around the city during the day?

Cheers
