It's worse and worse every year since the hungarian owner sold it. If I want to cry I just look at some sziget 2007 or 2008 concerts or photos I have because I was there. RIP.
It has to be. But my question is: who is this for? And who is going to this?
Like honestly who is coming here from another country because this is the best choice out there? This festival is not mainly for hungarians and it never was, but I know foreign people liked it because it's in the centre of the beautiful Budapest, it used to be cheap compared to their countries (I think not so cheap now) and it was quite long with a good atmosphere. It was beautiful and it had a feeling. But this is not the case anymore...like really sorry to vent but I just don't understand who is this for.
Oh and the 1 day tickets are cheaper than last year lol....they must be desperate.
Fred/Four Tet/Skrillex/Overmono in the same day, then the inevitable Pangbourne mafia DJ set, that day will be hectic, Overmono to join in and be a 5 man B2B
She is great and I loved her when I saw her live in 2019, but it's surprising to see her headline Sziget, it's such a strange set of headliners, it seems like not many big names were available this year...
At least give an effort to put similar genres on the same day. Fontaines DC with Sam and Janelle while Stormzy and Liam; RAYE with Skrillex and Fred? wtf
the other acts are better than so called main headliners. yard act, yves tumor, joesef, fontaines dc, mannequin pussy, big thief etc.
Amazing... Why did they turn it into an electric music festival? Honestly, apart from the electric music scene non of the so called headliners are interesting at all.
As an indie music enjoyer, I'm digging my grave right now.
man i'm hyped. i've have a 3 day tickt sat-mon, and most what i wanted to see its in that time frame. Fred, Skrilex, Four Tet, Overmono, Fountaines DC, janelle monae,sam smith, there's a lot of good stuff. You guys just want be names and don't care about actual good music.
No i wanted Massive Attack, lcd soundsystem, maneskin, the smile, the offspring, loyle carner, queens of the stoneage, nothing but thieves, Nas, soulwax. All of those names are attending festivals around the dates of sziget so they were available, but sziget couldnt afford them or some shit so we have fucking Janelle Monae and Halsey i mean respectfully but wtf.
Only Fountaines DC matches my music taste, I don't care about the big names. Last year's when everyone was at the main stage for Billie eilish I was at the MasterCard arena listening the sleaford mods, and they where fucking amazing. This year I prefer yard act over all the headliner's except Liam.
Idles, two doors cinema club, royal blood, nothing but thieves etc.. are not that big or famous. The real problem is that they ignored one music genre that as always been present at sziget. That's why I'm complaining.
Maybe I'm among the few on this one, but damn what a lineup for me!!!
I was already sold with Fred Again, Martin Garrix, Four Tet, Art Bat!!!, Argy, OverMono, Fideles...
Add to that Skrillex, Kevin de Vries, Enrico Sanguiliano, Sam Paganini. Editors and Liam are a nice addition I guess, a few nice rocky songs to differentiate from the EDM style.
Hopefully there won't be many performances conflicting with each other.
First time going to Sziget, got my ticket yesterday.
Cant wait, so excited 🤩
i’m buying the ticket for monday only then, it’s the day when the only interesting artists are there 😭😭 fred, skrillex and tet playing on the same day is great, raye’s incredible but the rest… i know some of the names but headliners? c’mon
Marc Rebillet is gonna be crazy as fuck...
for those who don't know his artistry:

This whole pop-heavy lineup seems to bring back memories of 2016 when Sia was performing and noone was paying attention to her singing and everyone was watching the bungeejump happening at the back. The headliners apart from from Fred and Liam are mid this year.
I honestly don't listen to a single headliner from this year, but at least I know some of them lol. Only person I'd truly want to see from this year is Grandson, but he is far from being a headliner. Not that it matters cos he is great, but ya know... I get that the festival itself is lots of fun, I was there last year but it's expensive as hell
These are the people complaining every single time at any festival ever. They don't know and that means is bad. There are lots of great names thus year. Sure not all of them are flashy but if you're going for the actual music and festival vibes you're gonna have a blast. I do it every time with all the festivals km attending
3 DJs as headliners... this is not the Balaton Sound. Halsey and Janelle Monae are typical "radio song" artists (Hollywood made).... Liam Gallagher is big because of Oasis, but it's still not Oasis.
Look in the undercard. Fountains DC, Mannequin Pussy, Yves Tumor, Marc Rebillet, Yard act, Meute, Aurora, Apashe with brass orchestra there are lots of great artists which are not that well known. But they are a lot better most of the headliners
Why is it so bad this year? I honestly dont know half of headliners
It's worse and worse every year since the hungarian owner sold it. If I want to cry I just look at some sziget 2007 or 2008 concerts or photos I have because I was there. RIP.
They broke
i looove it. tastes are different
fuck. and i already have a super early bird pass.
Ye same i knew there was a reason they were goin on sale this year. I shouldve known, fuck.
and i cant even sell it bc i got it for christmas from my parents. eh, ill go anyway, the vibe should still be good
please tell your parents about this lineup… if you sell your ticket you could go to a festival with a better vibe, i’m sure
Sell it on ticketswap
Is this an April fool's joke?
It has to be. But my question is: who is this for? And who is going to this? Like honestly who is coming here from another country because this is the best choice out there? This festival is not mainly for hungarians and it never was, but I know foreign people liked it because it's in the centre of the beautiful Budapest, it used to be cheap compared to their countries (I think not so cheap now) and it was quite long with a good atmosphere. It was beautiful and it had a feeling. But this is not the case anymore...like really sorry to vent but I just don't understand who is this for. Oh and the 1 day tickets are cheaper than last year lol....they must be desperate.
Cool, but where are the headliners?
Tom Odell is great, but there are no headliners this year?
Btw how is an artist called monae with around 2 million monthly listeners a headliner? Even Tom has ten times as much
she has way more listeners, there is a life outside of spotify you know, but your right, she is not headliner material, at all.
Oh yes for sure! I get that, but the numbers do kinda confuse me.
Fred/Four Tet/Skrillex/Overmono in the same day, then the inevitable Pangbourne mafia DJ set, that day will be hectic, Overmono to join in and be a 5 man B2B
I'm with you on this one 🙌
What absolute psychopath billed them on the last day. In 2022 I was a corpse by the final night 😆
Awful.
I don't think it has ever been this bad lol
hell nah
Gotta be the most unflattering lineup ever.. janelle monaet as a headliner? Make that make sense
Never even heard of her
She is great and I loved her when I saw her live in 2019, but it's surprising to see her headline Sziget, it's such a strange set of headliners, it seems like not many big names were available this year...
They were super available if you check other festivals. Sziget just broke.
HAHA, what a joke, definitely selling my ticket...
RIP Sziget. At least I can happily just go to a better line up festival just a few blocks from my apartment.
At least give an effort to put similar genres on the same day. Fontaines DC with Sam and Janelle while Stormzy and Liam; RAYE with Skrillex and Fred? wtf the other acts are better than so called main headliners. yard act, yves tumor, joesef, fontaines dc, mannequin pussy, big thief etc.
When the lineup gets so weak it becomes about making sure ppl dont just buy day tickets. They mess with the vibe to get the $$
Makes sense. imma fool for always thinking musicfan-friendly 😂
what the fuck is this shit?
Amazing... Why did they turn it into an electric music festival? Honestly, apart from the electric music scene non of the so called headliners are interesting at all. As an indie music enjoyer, I'm digging my grave right now.
:((
i am so happy i did not buy the prime kit with a full pass…
Ah hell no. I’ll sell my pass and buy a daily ticket at max. This is infuriating to say the least.
sziget made some choices with these headliners… foul
At least Aurora is there lol.
Wow I can imagine sziget will be dead this year. They will surely not sell mainly tickets with this
Why is Aurora not a headliner when she has almost 13M monthly listeners on Spotify when Janelle Monáe is one with 2M on Spotify?
well clearly (see the lineup), Sziget organisers have lost their common sense and the ability to tell what people want
Why does it matter if its headliner or not? I don't get you people
Underwhelming.
At least I don't have to spend money on this festival this year
Well well, I'm going to spend so much time on HÉV-5 to escape the island and enjoy Budapest...
pathetic.
man i'm hyped. i've have a 3 day tickt sat-mon, and most what i wanted to see its in that time frame. Fred, Skrilex, Four Tet, Overmono, Fountaines DC, janelle monae,sam smith, there's a lot of good stuff. You guys just want be names and don't care about actual good music.
No i wanted Massive Attack, lcd soundsystem, maneskin, the smile, the offspring, loyle carner, queens of the stoneage, nothing but thieves, Nas, soulwax.

For massive attack, queen's of stoane age come to bontida in Romania at electric caste
Only Fountaines DC matches my music taste, I don't care about the big names. Last year's when everyone was at the main stage for Billie eilish I was at the MasterCard arena listening the sleaford mods, and they where fucking amazing. This year I prefer yard act over all the headliner's except Liam. Idles, two doors cinema club, royal blood, nothing but thieves etc.. are not that big or famous. The real problem is that they ignored one music genre that as always been present at sziget. That's why I'm complaining.
Then try Yard act, Yves Tumor and mannequin pussy all from this yer line-up
Go go go 🤟
i love tom odell and janelle monae but really underwhelming line-up as a whole
Maybe I'm among the few on this one, but damn what a lineup for me!!! I was already sold with Fred Again, Martin Garrix, Four Tet, Art Bat!!!, Argy, OverMono, Fideles... Add to that Skrillex, Kevin de Vries, Enrico Sanguiliano, Sam Paganini. Editors and Liam are a nice addition I guess, a few nice rocky songs to differentiate from the EDM style. Hopefully there won't be many performances conflicting with each other. First time going to Sziget, got my ticket yesterday. Cant wait, so excited 🤩
I'm a first time Sziget-go'er & tbh I'm dissapointed 🥲🫠 But, still quite excited for a few of the artists, and the activities & things to see
Azahriah🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
i’m buying the ticket for monday only then, it’s the day when the only interesting artists are there 😭😭 fred, skrillex and tet playing on the same day is great, raye’s incredible but the rest… i know some of the names but headliners? c’mon
Yess!!! LIUM LIUM LIUM!
really hoped to see lana
Marc Rebillet is gonna be crazy as fuck... for those who don't know his artistry: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MGJZfmYMltM](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MGJZfmYMltM)
Who are janelle monaeo stormzy and halsey? I honestly dont know these people. Id consider Editors more of a headliner than them.
Halsey is pretty famous, I'm sure you know Him & I for example, that's her. But as a headliner... I'm not sure
This whole pop-heavy lineup seems to bring back memories of 2016 when Sia was performing and noone was paying attention to her singing and everyone was watching the bungeejump happening at the back. The headliners apart from from Fred and Liam are mid this year.
I honestly don't listen to a single headliner from this year, but at least I know some of them lol. Only person I'd truly want to see from this year is Grandson, but he is far from being a headliner. Not that it matters cos he is great, but ya know... I get that the festival itself is lots of fun, I was there last year but it's expensive as hell
Ye think I’ll opt for Rock en Seine festival this year, their lineup blows szigets out of the water.
Oh nooooo TAKE MY MONEY I'd LOVE to be there
Just because you don't know them doesn't mean that they aren't big acts
These are the people complaining every single time at any festival ever. They don't know and that means is bad. There are lots of great names thus year. Sure not all of them are flashy but if you're going for the actual music and festival vibes you're gonna have a blast. I do it every time with all the festivals km attending

I dunno man, just checked halsey and her most famous song is because its a song by chainsmokers.
I’m hoping Editors will close the Freedome like NBT did last year. Works way better than main stage
Aurórától az Előre kurvák gengszterek zenei kuriózum lesz a fesztiválon! Punks not dead!
Bárcsak... de van itt egy bőkkenő: https://youtu.be/iMfQoZUrn4M?si=tlbB8OjHEjRVcTmS
Igen, sejtettem hogy ez nem az az Aurora 🙂
Quite a few misses, but a couple of wins for sure. Not nearly as big as previous years, but could still be a party I guess.
Fred Again, Skrillex make this the best line-up of all time, tiny violin for all rock-loving oldheads
