Idles will probably finish 5/10 minutes before foo fighters come on.

What's your top 3 most difficult clashes this year? I don't think I have any of them this year and it's very strange for me... Maybe only the Virtual Riot/David August but it will depend on my mood.

No majorly annoying clashes but Yungblud/Ashcroft, Catfish/Superorganism and maybe Twenty One Pilots/IDLES will cause me some problems.

Looks like Macklemore is replacing The Prodigy at Provinssi in Finland, makes me wonder if something similar happened here. Not necessarily the the Prodigy were booked, just that Macklemore is going round Europe plugging gaps for people

Poor Keith, it would be nice to see them again

But they were booked to an other festival in Hungary...

I rather believe that they just had the possibility and given the history Macklemore and Sziget have and the decreasing fame of M.,  they just came out with a favourable agreement and easily filled a vacant spot with a public acclaimed name and a good deal.

Tove Lo, Years and Years and Jain in contrast with Macklemore and Twenty One Pilots are, however, proves that this year's budget has been spent in a highly unbalanced way - which is not a good thing for a 7 days festival, IMHO

Exactly...f..... exactly

[VixyBlue]

Are we expecting any more names or is this the final lineup - I thought there might be something after the final ticket price increase....unless I've missed it?

there are still some slots open on smaller stages like volt or music box, jazz and opera stage still to be announced, also tribute stage, campfire, caravan (but there was something with caravan i can't remember right now), slager fm stage and the program for sziget beach.

but nothing big or any big announcements i would say.

I think you've hit the nail on the head. We're going from Anna of the North headlining A38 and Tove Lo subbing main to having 21P subbing the Foos.

Some days are far stronger than others, it's feeling a liitle wonk.

And that is holding me back from taking vacations for sziget this year. My time is starting to get too precious (and my back too sensitive lmao) to spend one day camping with the best ambition to go through Post Malone in order to get to see Jungle.

On the other side, this year was generally pretty weak and all in all sziget came out with some pretty aces up its sleeve, so I won't bitch around like I did on sziget news in 2017, but I'm just looking forward for 2020 and take a hiatus this year from the whole circuit (dude I really hope Tool won't disappear from Europe for like ever...)

Unfortunately I'm not going to be able to go anymore and am looking to sell my two 7-day passes (below face value!). Does anyone know of a place I might have luck selling them besides ticketswap? I don't like that they hold your money until after the event.

What country are you in? In the UK there is: www.twickets.live

Out of interest, as a couple of friends have expressed interest in attending, what kind of price are you looking for? PM me if you'd rather.

Unfortunately I'm in the US, but if you could pass it along to your friends that would be great! I was hoping to get around 310 Euros (~$348), but would be willing to negotiate a bit as I would rather sell them for a loss than have them go completely to waste. Let me know if they want any more info or if they would like to email me directly  I'll send you a pm as well

Is Sziget the closest to Glasto in terms of vibe and atmosphere? Also you can take your own drink everywhere can’t you? As opposed to being checked at the arena entrance

I've never been to glasto but I think it's really close because the atmosphere is just perfect for me. You can do what you want with your drink, there's no checking at the arenas. To be fair, there are no arena entrances, you can enter wherever you want.

It's better than Glastonbury. ?
