Back then Sziget came with these names: Bad Religion, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, DJ Shadow, GTA, GusGus, Kensington, Mac DeMarco, Major Lazer, Oh Wonder, Oliver Heldens, Tom Odell, Two Door Cinema Club, Vince Staples, W&W Both were anniversary Sziget editions 😁 TBH next waves saved it... 2 minutes ago, #1SzigetFan said: So The Strokes, Lana del Rey and Skrillex for the next announcement? ...so in theory they can save this anniversary too! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rowexx Posted December 12, 2023 Report Share Posted December 12, 2023 (edited) I’m 21 and I’m telling you this isn’t a 21&under appealing lineup at ALL. Other than Louis (which I don’t like personally) and (maybe) Sam, there’s no one screaming 21&under. It’s just a weak announcement overall.. Also, I’m seeing they are getting a sh*t ton of hate, so Iet’s just hope that this is a wake up call for the next announcement..

Nicklord Posted December 12, 2023 Report Share Posted December 12, 2023 That's an Exit festival lineup quality. I think it's easily their worst and weakest even if I like a lot of the undercard and Fred Again 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dyma7 Posted December 12, 2023 Report Share Posted December 12, 2023 I like electronic names, Fred, Martin, Overmono, ANOTR, Four Tet and Dom Dolla are all great, but mostly all of the other names are just meh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see this announcement causing much of a rush for ticket's, but they've apparently sold a sh*t load of early birds and U21s already. I think it was probably their strategy all along. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Headliner-wise it's probably a worst Sziget in a long time (at least for now). Martin Garrix is the only one which seems suitable - traditional EDM-headliner, and not the worst one. Stormzy is not a headliner material for such a huge festival outside of UK. Fred probably is a hot cake right now, but having two DJ headliners when festival only lasts for six days? No comments on Sam Smith, just don't want to discuss it. Like them or not, but Imagine Dragons and Billie Eilish are huge artists, which should headline such festival. In 2022 they had two huge pop stars, one huge guitar-driven band and two just big enough. And just three editions before Twenty One Pilots played before Foo Fighters on the last festival day. Time... Agree with you on headliners, but looks like there is not strong headliners touring in Europe on those dates. You have amazing bands like LCD Soundsystem, Massive Attack, or even Queens of the Stone Age, but they are not "strong" headliners at all (but I'd kill to have them, specially if we compare them with Stormzy or Sam Smith). The only "big" headliner touring is Lana del Rey, and looks like they are trying to book her. On the other side, the "A38" names are pretty good Edited December 12, 2023 by davidoffescassi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#1SzigetFan Posted December 12, 2023 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2023 (edited) What improvements would you make to the lineup to make it look much stronger in terms of big acts with some realistic options? These are my additions to make the lineup more appealing for the general public: first of all, I'd try to book The Killers on the Stormzy day (Day 3). I would still promote Stormzy as headliner but he would be going play at 19:30. That day would look really strong for the UK visitors because lots of them listen to The Killers. I know that band isn't officially in the area in August but for the right price I think they would be. For Day 1, I'd book The Strokes with a strong act before them, let's say Paramore. Technically, Paramore ARE available on the 7th, 11th AND 12th of August and I really believe they might accept to play (for the right price, of course). I would make Day 2 more pop-oriented, with Lana Del Rey as headliner & some nice alternative bands in Freedome. For Day 4, before Martin Garrix, I'd book a strong name, let's say Noel Gallagher or Liam Gallagher. For Day 5, right before Sam Smith, I'd put another stronger name from other festivals in the area as a sub. For Day 6 I'd book Skrillex and have Four Tet b2b Fred Again b2b Skrillex + a nice sub playing before them So we'd have: Day 1: The Strokes + Paramore Day 2: Lana Del Rey Day 3: The Killers + Stormzy Day 4: Martin Garrix (+ Noel / Liam sub) Day 5: Sam Smith + strong sub Day 6: Four Tet b2b Fred Again b2b Skrillex + nice sub That would make 8 headliners on the poster (The Strokes, Lana Del Rey, The Killers, Stormzy, Martin Garrix, Sam Smith, Fred Again & Skrillex), maybe 9 if they would also add Four Tet on it.

I saw her at Primavera Sound in 2022 and she's amazing live, I would love to see her again 🤞 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wjilly Posted December 12, 2023 Report Share Posted December 12, 2023 (edited) Charli and Sam have a song together so that would make sense for her to do some songs with Sam later!! Edited December 12, 2023 by Wjilly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

branvan Posted December 12, 2023 Report Share Posted December 12, 2023 for me this year is by far the weakest Sziget line up till now... (and i like Fred Again and i have been there in the last years). but let's wait till the 2nd announcement and see what happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
