Sziget 2023

[Matt86]

I admit that I'm expecting 2 Rock acts for the last headline spots.

BUT ... I would gladly have Sam Smith instead of .. I don't now.... FLORENCE !!!! Do you guys hate him that much lol ?

I'm on "Thank god" side. He was okay and his music maybe isn't that bad, but as a public figure he is right now... I'm there for music not some agenda. 

And there are a hundreds of better performers, who are proven to be amazing live.

Look, I’m not into these they/them shenanigans, and I am absolutely horrified when I look at Sam now vs 4 years ago (wtf happened to him…) BUT… I watched a recent live show of his and I saw no mention of this at all… and he just… sang. I like his singing, so what he does in the media does no affect my enjoyment of the show. I mean it’s not like he broke the law or molested kids… he just has a kooky self image.

I quoted 'Thank God' in relation to Sam's music, absolutely nothing to do with their gender and pronouns etc. I just don't view them as a credible headliner, when there are so many other acts on the scene that could be headlining.

I'm still holding out faint hope that we get Paramore. On top of that I'd really like to see Royal Blood and Bicep there.

Bjork's European Tour starting September 1st with no dates in Belgium, Netherlands, UK and Hungary.
Will she add some festivals?

[pompirus]

We must expect a lot of electro and techno in the next annoucement (surely coloseum full line up). So Chemical Brothers are still in and if Bicep was too I would be happy. 

And the rest of the line up is coming around mid february

Very doubtful. 

Even though I've been a massive bjork fan for over 30 years, a festival she isn't at her best.

Hello, 
my question is off topic but I don't know where to ask it: I was supposed to go to Sziget with a friend but he can't come anymore. I'm left with an extra place. 
Moreover I would like to sleep in the igloo but it is for two people. 
Would anyone who hasn't bought a place yet be interested in joining me?

Fall Out Boy just announced a huge US Tour with BMTH (damn!) and it finished in the New Jersey on August 6th. A bit tight for some festivals after that like Sziget... or not?

Pukkelpop and Lowlands both meant to be announcing around lunchtime I believe (both start a couple of days after Sziget finishes and they tend to share acts - worth keeping an eye out later).

Didn’t Pukklepop posted yesterday that the announcement is comming 2 days later (meaning tomorrow)?

Ah, possibly. Must've missed that if they did. Lowlands have just announced, with quite a bit of duplication of what has already been announced for Sziget.

Would be very happy with Bicep, Bombay BC, Turnstile, King Gizzard, Dry Cleaning and, of course, Underworld.

EDIT: Also Girl In Red!

Did anyone figure out who's that artist next to Turnstile?

[kristofm]

No Wet Leg or Placebo? 😕 Worrying, I was really hoping to see them.
More chance for girl in red though, that's something.

Probably Two Shells

I'd kill for Bicep, Turnstile, and Underworld for Sziget.

Sorry, double post

Would be tight for Placebo, can only see them playing on the 14th. Don't see them subbing Eilish on the 15th. They are in Germany on the 10th, France 12th.

[Moran]

 Jungle just announced they are playing at a UK festival between 10th-14th of August. No specific date yet.

It's hard to believe they could come but I would love to see them at Sziget again!

Subs can be totally unrelated to the main act, I've seen Billy Talent support Pink, or Sum41 subbing Snoop Dog back in the day, etc. Placebo is not that far from Billie Eilish.

Agree. Last year, we had Limp Bizkit - Tame Impala - Charlotte de Witte (before LB cancelled).
