Sziget Festival 2018

[Noeliam]

I only missed Gramatik in my 3 years due to me sleeping. It's so exciting that you always have energy.

I'd go and say that Sziget is so good that you don't even think about sex.

We'll get the first names next week, according to this post on the official Sziget Germany Facebook page.

I think it being on flat park land, with good weather but plenty of shade when it's really hot, makes it a much easier festival physically than I am used to.

First announcement tuesday…

[Noeliam]

Arcade Fire at Budapest Sport Arena

QOTSA at Budapest Park

No Sziget for them...

[neacaisa]

the kooks were announced for summer well as well(along cigarettes after sex) and they are sziget regulars.

[Mattymooz]

As no one seems to have mentioned this yet

Bit weird considering R+L also seem to have delayed their announcement. I wonder if a headliner pulled out or something

[#1SzigetFan]

Really weird what happened today. Was the R&L announcement an official thing? Can't find any hints of a possible announcement from them on their Facebook or Twitter.

No but recent years it has always been posted the last week of November or first week of December. Really odd that they would have changed their release schedule without letting people know (especially given the outpour on twitter about it lol)

That combined with this delay make me think something may have happened.

This is different tho in that Sziget announced their announcement a few days ago.

Seeing as this is supposedly gonna be Eminem, I can definitely see the hold up being something to do with not being ready to announce shows. The same happened at R+L the time he played before last, and the announcement had to go out without Eminem on it.

Where's this from? Can't see any mention in the thread. Would surely make him nailed on for V.

they've changed PR representation, and just as announcement scheduling changed last time they did that, they've changed it again.

Basically, a different announcement schedule is the only unique thing any PR firm can offer for their stupidly high fees.

First names for FM4 Frequency Festival (16.-18.08.) according to krone.at: Gorillaz, Macklemore, Kaleo, Netsky, Dimension, Jauz, Krewella, Sigala, Seven Lions, Kungs, Left Boy and others. Official announcement at noon (CET).

Not too interesting for me btw except Gorillaz and Kaleo.

[Noeliam]

And Netsky!

If I bought a 5 day ticket is that for use on any 5 days of the festival? Can't see an option to select which days to buy for.

Is it just a case of arriving then the 5 days starts from point of activation onwards?

No, from day 1 to the end.

Day -1 and day 0 are included in the 7days pass.

Confused.

So 'day 1' is actually Friday 10th and 'day 5' is Tuesday 14th? Those are the 5 days that the 5 day pass would cover?

Correct

 

edit: on the official website in ticket section you can find all the infos, I don't give you the link because they change automatically the language.

Today Frequency Festival will announce the next headliner at 11 am (CET), seems to be a big act, because he/she/it gets its own announcement 

[neacaisa]

imagine dragons 99% probably, now that they are @ frequency 

[Noeliam]

As a sub, surely!

Can't see them headline... or before a DJ.

The Spotify stats tell me otherwise.
