If you think Eminem would do dozens of arenas and stadiums across the globe, you know nothing about he is touring nowadays.

24 is dozens (two of them in fact). If he plays that many I'll await your apology.

If he plays less then I will bow before your superior knowledge and declare you King of All Things Marshall Mathers.

2016: Latin America - 3 Performances - Lollapalooza

2017: UK -  3 Performances - Reading & Leeds plus Glasgow Summer Session

2018: Europe - 9 Performances - 3 Festivals and 6 Concerst / US - 7 Performances - 1 Concert and 6 Festivals 

2019: Australia and New Zealand - 5 Concerts / Hawaii - 1 Concert / Abu Dhabi - 1 Concert

 

So counting it together it was 15 Festivals and 14 Concerts between 2016 and 2019. 29 Shows in 4 Years, think about it.

No need to call me King of All Things Marshall Mathers if I am right cause it's just what you call experience and making an educated guess. I would prefer if you were right and he did a big Tour.

We know that both leakers teased Eminem, but @JBarbour teased only the acts from the first announcement. Any truth regarding this rumour, mr. JB? Or at least please tell us if there's going to be a separate headliner announcement... 

[billybigballs]

In fairness, I really didn't realise that he played so infrequently. Let's hope Sziget really has got him. Looks like it'd be quite a scoop.

Fucking hell, that Friday looks like one to avoid. Lol.

 

[Tripco]

So we are missing 2 headliners.. sunday and tuesday, right?

[#1SzigetFan]

Daily tickets will be on sale starting with the 3rd of March, according to the Hungarian press release!

Edit: according to the official website, all the daily tickets will cost 69 EUR. Eminem and Shawn Mendes pulled out? There was that info regarding more expensive tickets for those 2 days...

I've heard nothing. I dont work from rumours, I work from press releases. If I receive anything I'll post if I can.

Not sure what you're taking about. A$AP, Jon, Altin Gün and KOKOROKO are decent. Major Lazer are not mind blowing but are always fun. I would rather avoid Sunday, especially if Shawn is headlining...

I guess that reply was to me. It's all good. I have been a long time Eminem fan, that's why I know his patterns, not everyone follows it as closely.

[SFTAR]

From the daily lineup I fear I was right that Eminem doesn't happen, no matter if the info was wrong in the first place or if he pulled out.

Days out no new acts

So basically:

5 august: average

6 august: over-stacked for who loves indie/trip hop and with no variety for who doesn't love indie/trip hop

7 august: eskereboyz on the main stage and quality hipster stuff on the A38

8 august: literally throw the dices and put the names how you like

9 august: the empire of flat live music (and Kaytranada and Dixon)

10 august: meme schedule with Khalid opening for The Strokes

11 august: sweet summer children on the main stage and metalheads breaking noses on the A38 

 

Only situation it makes sense is that Eminem plays the 9th august and Shawn Mendes the 11th, as it is clear that the A38 is built to give an alternative to whom will rage for the pop announcement.

[Tinsel19]

Didn't the leaker say major Lazer would be the closing festival? And didn't they also say that eminem day tickets will be more expensive? Looks like things have changed.. 

[sandorbeni]

Also as far as I can remember one of the leakers said that Khalid will be playing before Shawn Mendes but seeing these day splits that's definitely not happening

[R Shah]

Hi guys! My interrailing trip passes through Budapest on 10th August which is convenient as I LOVE The Strokes so will be grabbing a day ticket. First timer here - couple of questions!

Day tickets Tier 1 (€69) are onsale Tuesday 11am, when does the first tier usually sell out?

What time do headliners usually come on and off? (considering Strokes would play a 90 minute set) as we'd be hoping to do some sightseeing that day as well!

For an act like The Strokes, how would the crowd differ from a UK show? Easy to mosh to the front or should we go down early for a spot?

Is Khalid likely to to headline a 2nd stage or sub the Strokes?

[Matt57330]

Hope for a good closing act no Eminem or Shawn Mendes 🙄

I'm not a fan of any of those, especially the likely 1-2 of ASAP and Major Lazer which, to me, would be like hell on earth.

But, you know, each to their own.

I don't think that day tickets will sell out quickly I don't know exact date but it also depends on the artists. In my opinion you don't have to be really fast to get them for that price.

The headliners usually play from 21:30 to 23:00

If you want to get barrier then you should go there early. I think the area front of the main stage will be opened at 2pm every day. But if you don't want to get barrier just close to them then it's enough to go there a few hours early.

I think Khalid will be the subheadliner of that day.

Things change, no one is reliable for such an info, always take it with grain of salt.

They do not sell out usually

The Strokes will play 21.30-23.00. Can't talk about the crowd compared to the UK, but I can say it is fairly easy to get to the front (very difficult to get the barricade spot tho).

Khalid will play before, 19.30/45-21.00. Most likely Keane-Khalid-The Strokes.

Visiting downtown is easy but at the same time I would not suggest it, as the weather is terribly hot usually and your energy will be drained in a blink of an eye. Up to you, anyway.

Just had a little look at some of @Sziget2020_Leaks recent posts and looks like some things have changed.

Shawn Mendes on 10th August with Khalid as sub.

Major Lazer will be closing Sziget.

Foals is happening on Thursday as well.

Unfortunately I’m not entirely sure, that’s why I didn’t comment on them! Saturday is Calvin Harris as far as I know. 

 ✅

It's understandable that day splits can change, I just hope some of the other act predictions won't change for the worse. I find it more interesting that the leaker has been quite silent recently. If they knew that their predictions were outdated, wouldn't they come back to say it changed?

The Strokes have never played in Hungary before. They're not very big here to be honest (atleast nowhere close to how big they are in the UK). Arctic Monkeys are much much bigger in Hungary. From my experience, unless you are a gigantic act, you need to have played Sziget previously to gather a following here. Lots of my Hungarian friends were more excited about 2DCC and Foals rumours......

I'm a massive Strokes fan that has lived in Budapest for 6 years so I'm very happy with the booking.

If Khalid really is the main stage sub for them, I would assume lots of people that go to see him will likely leave after he's finished, so maybe there is a chance to get down the front at that point. In 2011 I saw The Strokes headline Reading, and waited towards the front for like 6 hours before. I don't think it will be necessary at Sziget, and to be honest I will just go with the flow this year and end up where I end up.
