I don’t want to be a smart ass, but day 0 is the aug 12. So those are should be the same on your schedule. It could be disturbing for someone. Only just 132 days left 🙂
@Castor: you’re right. Wanted to change it for a while, never got around to it. Did it now. Thanks a million! 🙂
I like this year line-up, but there is one fact, that make me a little bit disappionted: half of bands was in line-up of previous Sziget from 2009 to 2013: Placebo 2009, 2012 The Prodigy 2009, 2011 Calvin Harris 2010 Lily Allen 2009 Klaxons 2009 Axwell 2012 Ska-P 2009, 2010, 2013 La Roux 2011 Crystal Fighters 2012 Fink 2012 Borgore 2012 Anti-Flag 2012 Wild Beasts 2012 Girls in Hawaii 2010 (cancelled) Michael Kiwanuka 2013 (cancelled) deadmau5 2010 (cancelled)
Sorry for the double-post. On his facebook page https://www.facebook.com/Macklemore/app_308540029359 it is stated that the 14th he will be playing at Pukkelpop! he’s also booked for the 13th, 15th and 16th! I guess he will be playing the 17th but does that mean that he will not be a headliner???
Sorry again! but even on his fb page they’ve repeated the festival in Germany :/ We can’t do anything except waiting now!
@Noeliam, here: http://fesztivalok.varosom.hu/programok/fesztivalok/Sziget-Fesztival.html (click: “Fellepök”) So far they never posted something unconfirmed (whatever their sources are) – so I assume that the date is the right one, even though there can be program changes later on, when the booking of all acts will be finalized.
Yeah and he’s already confirmed for Frequency on the 13th and for Pukkelpop for the 15th (official websites). So I guess it’s true! Let’s hop Skrillex will announce a non-sziget date for the 15th :p
I can’t imagine Sziget confirming four “electro” headliner for the five days of the regular festival. Even though you can hardly put Macklemore, Skrillex, Prodigy and Calvin Harris in the same bag, people would go berzerk complaining (also because the only rock/pop/indie headliner are Placebo who already performed at Sziget in 2001, 2006, 2009 and 2012). I still think that chances are big that Macklemore and Skrillex will both headline the Party Arena or that Macklemore will perform as co-headliner on the mainstage while Skrillex will be in the Party Arena…
…it’s also very well possible that Calvin Harris will be the last act on the mainstage on the 17th, but that a “proper” headliner will perform before him.
Last year we had Franz Ferdinad before the crap..ops, Guetta that was a bad can easily headline a festival like Sziget. Let’s hope so!
Sziget is trying to become more popular festival. With more electronic headliners. (My guess to attract a younger public.) The numbers of visitors has been dropping quite a lot (23.000 less over 3 years.) But this is a wrong direction, in my opinion. Sziget isn’t the interesting festival anymore as it used to be, no metal stage, weak world music stage and a lot of the same headliners. This way they lose a lot of international guests, because the ‘same’ (same headliners, even more interesting stages.) festivals are much nearer and therefore cheaper to visit. And having the same headliners as before, revisiting Sziget is less likely. (for me, after 2 Szigets (2011,2012) it is over Sziget is losing it’s diversity. Of course the sziget vibe is still something very unique, but with a younger audience this will change as well. Sziget promotes to be a international event, but Sziget isn’t unique enough to justify the entire trip. This is just my vision. You can disagree with me. I realize I’m lucky because I live in the Netherlands. I’m spoiled with choice. (lowlands, Rock Werchter, Pukkelpop, Rock am Ring)
@Johnny W 11th Day -1 has always been Hungarian music day 12th day 0 can be anything (one year metal day, another year had Prince; as you say this year it looks like a “normal” festival day) From 13th:Day 1 to 17th:Day 5 are normal festival days and we all have to leave on Monday 18th
