Szigetnews reader Kevin had quite an interesting proposal, in order to make the organizers more aware of what the people that go to Sziget every year want. Here’s what he suggested:

Let’s do a little survey. Everyone give 3 names that you want to see at sziget the most (and that are possible at sziget dates). I’ll start. My first name is Metallica, I know that they said that their European tour is over before Sziget but they don’t have any plans for that time so I still have some hope.
My second name is Limp Bizkit- I don’t know why, I just love them! and they are playing in Europe in July.. So maybe.
the third name is Arctic Monkeys. I know them for just a month and I just love them.
Let’s start making some pressure and make sure they know that the current line-up is just not good enough.

What do you guys think? And what are your three names?

…or just an April Fools’ joke? The Sziget Festival Last.fm page lists Metallica for Sziget Festival 2009, but we don’t know what to believe just yet. We’ll just have to wait for an official confirmation and see… They are available during that time, according to their official site, so who knows?

Still, just a joke, probably…

Later edit: as we suspected, just a joke. But who knows, it just might come true…

Last year we’ve seen Iron Maiden on Zero Day. Who do you think the Zero-Day band will be this year? Will it be Metallica (they have a festival tour in Europe this summer), Green Day (they will announce their tour dates soon) or another big name? The Prodigy will also tour this summer, supporting their new album.

Metallica have just confirmed headlining the Sonisphere Festivals, to take place in Holland, Germany, Spain, Sweden, Finland and the U.K. between June 20 and August 2. We wonder if this means we have a chance of seeing them at Sziget this year… What do you all think?

Even if it’s not even remotely Sziget festival season, Metallica have announced a few tour dates recently and tickets are going on sale tomorrow. Still, we found out that you can get them today by clicking here and we wanted to help you avoid the rush.
