Itâs gonna be one of THE best shows of Sziget Iâm calling it now. I honestly dread how packed the tent will become especially because how this seems to be the most popular day overall. Imagine if they come on after Shawn. That tent will get fked up.
Does anyone remember when Infected mushroom played the Party Arena? That was brutal I thought we were gonna get crushed.
I hope this wonât get that bad especially it being an open tent.
I see people predicting Travis as Pyramid or Other stage opener on one of the days, I don't think they'd take a slot that low if they're headlining other festivals.
Franz Ferdinand are also headlining here and people are predicting them much higher. Manic Street Preachers played 3rd from top on Other in 2023 too.
Agreed they are an interesting band.
in the 90s and 00s they rarely played Festivals. I found their own shows expensive relative to those of their peers so never really went to see them.
Over the last decade that has changed massively as they have played loads and loads of Festivals and Iâve managed to catch them several times. Maybe now the fees bands charge has gone up so much they now consider them âworth doingâ
They do mix their set lists up quite a bit so if you expecting wall to wall greatest hits you might be disappointed. I quite like that though and donât forget the album they released last year got to number one in the charts.
Having said all that, I donât see them as an APE band but didnât Stereophonics play once so who knows.
Two of the hostages being released have been held for about 11 years....apparently they entered Gaza for some reason and then apparently got held hostage...bit weird.
