Sorry, my bad, misread. Corrected now.
December is still a few weeks away, and so are the first performer announcements made by Sziget Festival. Its sister festival, VOLT, in turn, is busy pumping out names and selling its early-bird tickets.

Rock bands at Sziget R.I.P. 2017
I hope that rock is not dead at Sziget.
VOLT has a nice line-up, but I’ve already seen Depeche Mode, Limp Bizkit & Hollywood Undead, so I want to believe that it’s about time to see some new stuff at Sziget, for example Arctic Monkeys, Arcade Fire, LCD Soundsystem etc. Oh, and I would love to see QOTSA, as I wasn’t at the 2014 edition. 😀
Does anyone know when we got the first names last year? Just hoping that we don’t get the new Linkin Park as a headliner or some nonsense.
@TheKeiser it was December 15th. http://szigetnews.com/sziget-2017-bad-religion-major-lazer-dimitri-vegas-others/
Let’s see if my comments are published now
In the end. Still don’t know a lot of times my comments don’t show up.
@Bender two of them have been flagged as spam by the system… perhaps you might want to try another email address?
later edit: I’ve approved them now. If they get lost again, mail me at istvan@ the website’s address.
@Sziget News ok thanks 🙂
Anyway The Chemical Brothers live announced for a british festival during Sziget. They may be back.
We can finally choose our “dream line-up” for next year’s Sziget: https://www.facebook.com/SzigetFestival/posts/10157030115793975!
I guess Snow Patrol will be one of our headliners!
Arcade Fire announced for Southside/Hurricane.. mid-june. Damn!
Snow Patrol would be good….
In 2 weeks we will know more????
Let’s hope so! But as usual, I expect some smaller names in their first announcement.
I would love Arctic Monkeys and/or Queens of the Stone Age at Sziget 2018!
Pearl Jam announced at Werchter
Not a surprise.
Never been an option for Sziget :/
Maybe next week? John Doe?
On this day in 2015 they announced the first names for Sziget 2016. Those were Bring Me the Horizon, Kodaline, M83, MØ, Naughty Boy, John Newman, Parov Stelar & Sigur Rós.
So I guess that we should get a similar announcement soon…
That was a great first announcement! M83 @ Sziget is still my favorite concert ever, and Sigur Ros was amazing!
I also enjoyed the last song of BMTH and its moshpit.
James Blunt announced at a festival in germany just after Sziget…..
He has an arena show in Budapest
Thank God!
Haven Festival (9.11/08) released a teaser for an announcement on thursday, and… the very beginning and very end of the video clearly suggest Arcade Fire.
If Arcade Fire plays Sziget I buy my ticket!
I doubt it, since Arcade Fire ain’t B category pop crap
Haven had not one band together with Sziget in 2017…
Well I have faith! They did book Sigur Ros 🙂
Highfield today announced: Billy Talent | Marteria | Broilers | Die Fantastischen Vier | Alligatoah | Dropkick Murphys | The Hives | Kontra K | Editors | Clueso | Madsen | Dendemann | Gogol Bordello | Bosse | Prinz Pi | Antilopen Gang | The Subways | Maximo Park Official | GLORIA | BAUSA | Zugezogen Maskulin | Sondaschule | FJØRT | Swiss & Die Andern | Adam Angst | ITCHY
No big names and the ones I like among those came to Sziget in recent years. The only ones I’d really like to see and don’t come since 2010 are The Hives. That concert was very very good!
Electric Castle from Romania will announce their first names on the 11th of December… usually some acts of their line-up also play at Sziget.
Gorillaz at Boomtown 🙂
Although I think that I wont even take in consideration Sziget this year (it became way too expensive for my pocket, unless you’re a partner/promoter), this can be a huge game changer, taken in consideration the promises of the new organizers of bringing more money to the festival and maybe call a huge international exclusive (somebody told about Eminem).
Eminem + Gorillaz would by my heart, for instance, and I would probably sell a kidney to be there
Arcade Fire – Gorillaz is way more appealing for me!
why would you give your kidney for a widely available artist? don’t pricetag your kidney sooo low…
OFF: where is this site run from?
Gorillaz had an arena show in Budapest, in November & I don’t think they’ll play… it was the same with RHCP, remember?
I still feel connected to Sziget, even if in my opinion it lost a little of its charm in the last years. Gorillaz are kind of everywhere but I couldn’t think of a better party in a festival outside of Sziget; Eminem was the big regret of the last year. Other than that I dont know which big artist I can bow for: Aesop Rock and Brand New ain’t touring for as much as I know, At the Drive In are out, so whatever, I’ll go with the flow.
So far my big concern is to find a festival who has Gorillaz + best name possible at the lowest price
don’t expect Brand new to ever tour again after the recent scandal.
Oh, sh*t, I didn’t know! That’s awful…
First announcement tuesday…
