I feel like I'm spamming now, but here are a couple more UK festival line-ups from late July/early August, announced in the past few hours. Rick Astley anyone? 😉

 

Rick ruled Glastonbury last year, and he killed it at Jazzpiknik in Paloznak in the pouring rain. What would be awesome is if he did a Smiths set with Blossom. Now THAT would be Sziget-worthy. Go to YouTube and check them out doing "There Is A Light That Never Goes Out". Not headliner, but would be a good opener for QOTSA or Strokes, if that ever happens. 

Thanks for sharing these. I keep seeing Snow Patrol on these festivals this year. I just don't think they are very exciting. Hope Sziget can do better....

My problem is that these are mostly British names on British festivals, and I'd love to see a good chunk of them playing at Sziget, but why would anyone play at Sziget on the 7th-12nd if they're playing at home between the 2-4th not playing elsewhere in Europe during the summer. So I'm not even giving myself false hope for bands like Soft Play or Pale Waves.

I mean Soft Play seem to be doing one-off trips to Czechia and Slovakia in June/July so I wouldn't say they're impossible.

So bored of waiting for announcement number two. God, January is a drag. 

What's everyone's top 5 acts they'd like to see announced next? Got to be possible (so playing gigs in Europe in July/August - so no 'Led Zeppelin'!)

I'd go with:

- Raye

- Wet Leg

- Bicep

- London Grammar

- Future Islands

Not sure how many extra tickets they'd all sell, and none of them are headliner-level but would be very happy if any were announced.

Man, I totally forgot about Biffy playing Victorious. Would happily take them ahead of all my other five 'wants'!

I'd kill for : 

 

Anyma - Party Arena

Brutalismus 3000 - Colloseum

Ascendant Vierge - Europe Stage

Massive Attack - Main Stage

Slowdive - A38.

 

I think we'll have 0 of those. Maybe Anyma or Brutalismus at most.

justin timberlake is going on tour this year.

what do we think about him in sziget?

[Guest]

Does anybody know when they will announce the dates on which the smaller acts will preform? So far only the dates for the headliners are given. Would like to find out which day Fontaines D.C. is on.

[billybigballs]

Just had an email from Crystal Fighters' mailing list saying that their upcoming UK and EU spring tour is being moved to autumn (October and November) due to one of the group contracting malaria while in Ghana!?!

Guess that counts them out?

That would be the most hilarious booking. What on earth would possess Sziget to do that? Unless he's play a late afternoon acoustic set in the A38, I can see absolutely no reason for him to be there.
