We know they were trying to book Charlie XCX and she would be good booking at this point, got (even) bigger lately with Brat album being a viral success and now Billie collab. A missed opportunity for Sziget.

Yup. And I think Leaks also confirmed that Lana was super close.

Kiasmos cancelled, replaced by Christian Löffler.

Been here for 3 days now, and i think this is really gonna be my last sziget.

Don’t get me wrong i’m having a great time, but the festival has downgraded so much the past years, it’s not worth the travelling anymore.

Aaaaand it's not a joke... how sad. I mean it resolves a clash but it was one of my most waited acts. Oh, well.

Has it really gone *that* downhill…?

 

I was last there in 2019 so I would be interested to know a comparison

Here we f**king go everyone. 

Have a great one ❤️

It seems that there are much less people in the Island...Blondshell was nice

Well… it’s just very different. Decorative/vibe wise it has really downgraded.

a lot less ppl. the lines in the entry were short and no lines at all at the circus etc.

I'm afraid it's gonna be sh*t.

 

It's ok if it was the 6th day, but for the 1st day... worrying

[CCester]

What a bright idea it was to close the road between the Revolut and the Main Stage. I wonder what’s the point.

[activean]

First edition i'm skipping since 2019. 

 

How are things on the Island, any upgrades/downgrades? How was with the turnout on day 1?

 

Have an amazing time you all 🙂

they moved a lot of stages around again.

there are luna park rides inside the regular camping with loud music in itlt. idk if and when they finish working but it sure is a weird location for it.

 

the new main stage set up with two control boxes instead of the tower is nice, but i think they need more screens now.

Has anyone found the secret party yet?

Is Sziget putting even last effort into the line up from next year or we have read the CEO’s comments wrong?

 

How is the perception of the ticket sales within the company?

I don't understand this. What are you referring to?

Sales are way below expectations.

It's the weakest lineup since 2017, can't seem to get anniversaries right. Had great potential.

Aparently he said something like in the future you will want to come for the experience and not the line up. But to be fair it wasn’t a direct quote just a summary by someone.

i didnt know she had rock songs tbh.

it seems most of the crowd knew 2 songs and its a shame cause she has a lot more hits.

i really dont get that king of artists - you build a show specific for two festivals knowing a lot wouldnt know a lot of your songs - but still dont put your hits in it. why? do you think someone wish to spend 1.5h not knowing the songs?

Her last album was produced by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross

I wish she played more from her first 2 albums, I like those better than her later work.

Why is the path towards the main stage from the right side of revolut closed down?
