Who would you like to see at Sziget Festival 2009?

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?

    Why don’t you use the wish lists on the official sziget pages? ^^

  3. Mussi says:

    What´s that ?
    It isn´t worth to vote for my bands, because you want realistic acts, and limp bizkit is definitley not realistic.

  4. Sziget News says:

    Of course you can do that. This was just a proposal our reader made and who knows, it might help.

  5. Sziget News says:

    Well, Limp Bizkit is confirmed for Volt, so it’s very unlinkely that they will do Sziget, too.

    The Kooks, they haven’t posted any concerts for August so they should be able to come, The Hoosiers (couldn’t find any 2009 tour dates for them so they’re probably not busy..) and Vampire Weekend, they’re playing in Ibiza on the 18th (August) but they’re free before that

    well now I’m so sad about the Arctic Monkeys… I can’t believe it :( I think I’m going to Vienna then… how will I manage it I don’t know :D
    But I still have hope for names… like THE VIEW, maybe FRIENDLY FIRES, and VAMPIRE WEEKEND… (3)
    these are probably more possible than MGMT or the Wombats again.
