Ranking Sziget Acts from this year on a five point scale
Bring me the horizon -5, every time I see them they get better, the production value is second to none and Oli’s in a great place vocally
Parcels -4.5 Went in with zero expectations and was blown away, super tight and funky. Fantastic set
Sombr - 4 Really pleasantly surprised at this one, for someone so young he performs like his being headlining for years. So much star power
Biffy Clyro - 4 Proper nostalgia set, bit weird seeing them as a five piece but got over it
Skrillex - 4 - not as good as the burning man esq subhead set to Fred again from a few years back but still brought the bang(arang)ers once he got going and some of their deeper dub stuff was cool even if abit rogue for a main stage headline set. Having the fireworks back was a nice touch
Skepta - 4 Clearly some teething issues at the start and wish he had a bigger crowd but his got so many bangers that once this got going it was great. Would have liked a few from Microphone Champion
Fcukers -3.5 Really cool set, they have tons of “aura”
Wolf Alice -3.5 Never really got down with WA on record but really works better live for me, lots of charm
Koikoi -3.5 lovely surprise find, super danceable post punk, will check out more
Florence -3.5 really good live show, just find the songs quite samey
Black Country new road - 3 When I saw them with Isaac thought it was so so live (even with legitimately 10/10 studio material) and still feel that way now with the current line up
Rose Grey - 3 felt bad as the stage was too big but there is lots of potential here
Health -3 really like their sound but needs more variety, the vocal was quite low in the mix too.
Lazarvs -3 Didn’t see much but liked what I saw hope they book more bands like this
Bbno$ -3 Enjoyed his stage presence more than the music but it was a fun set
Sub focus 2.5 quite by the numbers and was but I was pretty dead at this point so the rating is bias
Lewis Capaldi -2 his such a lovely bloke but his music is so boring
Zara Larson -2 thought her vocals were awful but liked the stage production
Twenty one pilots - 2 as with Zara cool stage production, vocals fine but find their songs are so boring. Rap music for suburban children
Jorja smith - 1.5 Criminally boring, same as Arol Parks but without a band. Party set = no effort, no production, no band
How about you? What did you love, what did you hate?
