F*** THIS F***ING FOO FIGHTERS! GERENDAI SAID THEY’RE NOT COMING, GET OVER IT! And shit, i’m disappointed about the mainstage line up this year. The electro line up is absolutely first class, i guess the metal one too, but the mainstage… White Lies and Amy Winehouse headlining Sziget sounds like a joke.
Where are the metal bands ? …I hoped Foo fighters, Nofx, Dropkick murphy’s, Cypress hill, Beastie boys….and we have Kasabian, La roux, Ben l’oncle soul. Shit !!
FIFI, im not a huge metal fan so i dont know… But i think Motorhead – August 10 Judas Priest – August 11 Deftones – August 12 Sonata Arctica – August 14 Within Temptation – August 10 Lostprophets – August 13 are not bad at all!
I think there is not coming more BIG names 🙁 ….some really good hungarian names comes and than can come august. 😀
Where is written that White Lies will be headliners? At the peak of their success they played in the A38/WAN2 tent and now after a pretty successless album they shall headline? BUT I guess at least one of the following bands has to be a headliner: Kasabian and Manic Street Preachers, because there are too many bands suitable for the co-headliner slots (which would suck, because both bands were co-headliners last time they performed at Sziget). The biggest part of the line-up is confirmed! Only four bands for the mainstage and another four bands for the Metalstage are missing!
Okay, I just found it: https://www.facebook.com/notes/white-lies/white-lies-to-headline-sziget-festival/10150173425316670 Seems like a bad joke!
2 Mellowmaniac Why are you thinking that it is so many bands to co-headline? I think Interpol (10.08), Kasabian and MST (11-13), and The National or White Lies on 14.08. I think (hope) that it will be 2 headliners and 1 co-headliner.
I think first slot on main Stage will play: The Maccabees Batucada Sound Machine Ben l’Onlce Soul Smash Mouth Mariachi El Bronx second: Flogging Molly Hadouken! ??? ??? Gogol Bordello third: Rise Against La Roux Skunk Anansie Dizee Rascal (or second) White Lies co-headliners: Interpol Good Charlotte Manic Street Preachers Kasabian The National headliners: Pulp The Chemical Brothers ??? Amy Winehouse ???
I asked Sziget Italia if its true or not that White Lies are gonna be headliners and they said that maybe WL are a bit confused about what headlining means. They also said: “Mancano 2 Headliner. Avremo belle sorprese ancora… sul main stage ci saranno 5 gruppi per giornata e quindi significa ancora 7 gruppi in totale + il giorno zero ;)” Translated: “2 Headliners are missing. We’re gonna have nice surprices… on the mainstage 5 bands/day are going to play which means other 7 bands + day zero ;)” I hope White Lies are wrong and not Sziget Italia…
@Dulco: you just made my day: I simply couldn’t believe it! @chudo_pahan: – Headliner: Chemical Brothers, Amy Winehouse & Pulp – possible co-headliner: Kasabian, Manic Street Preachers, Interpol, Skunk Anansie, Dizzee Rascal – possible co-co-headliner: Rise Against, La Roux, Gogol Bordello, The National, White Lies …but, it’s just speculation on some parts – we will see pretty soon with the first version of the schedule! 😉
@King of Spain: I guess Good Charlotte will play as second or latest third band on the 11th (Hadouken as opener, then Good Charlotte, LaRoux, a co-headliner (perhaps Dizzee Rascal) and than a headliner (probably The Chemical Brothers).
Two more headliners? I hope it’s true. They wrote that 7 bands are missing from the mainstage, but actually it’s only 4.
White Lies: 14/08/11 http://www.myspace.com/whitelies/shows Terry Poison: 13/08/11 http://www.myspace.com/terrypoisonmusic Zombie Nation: 13/08/11 http://www.zombienation.com/
The dance line-up is excellent this year!! Richie Hawtin, Chemical Brothers, Technasia!!!! Does anybody know if trentemøller is playing a live set with band or a dj set? I hope live cause is dj sets ain’t that exciting!
He should play live…! Party Arena live acts: – Zombie Nation – The Bloody Beetroots Death Crew 77 – Trentemøller – 2manydjs – Kid Cudi Party Arena DJ acts: – Above & Beyond – Cristian Varela – Dubfire & Carlo Lio – Richie Hawtin, Marc Houle & Ambivalent – Technasia
Sziget Italia still talks about 2 Headliners and 4/5 names on the mainstage. But he said hes not 100% sure about it. Let’s hope he’s right.
On his facebook page Trentemoller says he will be at Sziget with a full band! http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#!/event.php?eid=178333648882371
tsss, decided sziget for de 2nd time after last year instead of pinkpop and werchter…. sziget on its own is great but hoping still hoping for a real headliner…
No Kings of Leon this year. They will be in the USA in August. Sziget needs a really big name like U2 or some other world class band.. Red hot Chilli Peppers would be great!!
Puding Pani Elvisovej is a great band from my country, Slovakia 🙂 They are the best Slovak live act! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1f0JmARDq8&feature=related

mikor lesznek kiírva a programok napi bontásban? 20 hours ago · Like · Károly Kugler likes this. Sziget Festival Official egy-két héten belül! 20 hours ago · Like A week or two till the daily line up is announced will the announce it fully or will they just put what has all ready been announced into a schedule?
@John Doe: Smash Mouth’s booking agency writes that they’ll perform in the USA on the 12th and at Sziget on the 13th! If you want to see an overview of the confirmed Sziget dates as per now: http://www.bestdayz.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=52357#52357
If I get Sziget Italy’s Facebook message right these bands are also confirmed (probably for the Europe Stage): Dorian Concept (A) Hudson Mohawke (UK) Baskerville (NL) Overflow (CRO) Hudson Mohawke is amazing!
You can find a complete timeschedule of the Worldmusic stage here: http://www.bestdayz.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2107 (The site is in german, but days, times and bands are universaly understandable… 😉 )
@Dulco: it’s definitely a guess! On the overview of the stages the confirmed dates are as announced by the bands and the slots are temporarily placed, based on international popularity and sometimes guessing. The headliner and openening slots are pretty sure, but quite everything else is exchangeable… So far the only “definitive” schedule is the one of the Worldmusic-Stage which was sent to me from an insider! But the schedule on the bestdayz board is the most complete and accurate and updated daily (even though minor stages will only be listed after the official spread and schedule is released). 😉
Once the full lineup of the Eurostage is announced I’d love to have a thread where people from the countries of the bands performing on this stage introduce these bands to everyone else (with infos like: how big are they in their countries, are they good live bands, what kind of music are they playing,…)!
