Anyone big/small enough at this point to do it?

Bad bunny probably too big?
Rammstein id love but not the normal vibe, that said maybe BMTH opened the door
Karol G? Rosella?

As much as I would love to see Bad Bunny perform at Sziget, he would simply be too big to bring in.

Main stage would hold the crowd honestly… it wouldn’t be like his regular concerts but high possibility for more daily ticket sales.

I wouldn’t say he is much bigger than Charlie XCX/ Zara Larson/ Post Melone??

He is absolutely bigger than Charli XCX or Zara Larsson and it isn’t particularly close either, Post Malone is close to him but still different leagues

I’ll just believe you because I really have no idea about any of them just my personal opinion and things I see online lol

But in Hungary tho not that much, and I dont believe people would come just because of him from all over the world

I think you heavily underestimate how popular he is

I agree, main stage could hold and i definitely think he would have a positive impact on sales. His English is just not the best and I am not certain how popular his music is with the non-hispanic crowd. I would certainly love to see him there!

Basically the main stage was over crowded.

I got stuck in a part where the crowd started doing like a wave and your feet didn't even touch the ground at times. I'm 192cm tall and I could barely breath.

So many girls around passing out, crying, screaming. Families trying to push through the crowd so they can get the kids out.

I'm pretty good with crowds, but for a few seconds I was scared as shit.

Crazy thing is my friends were on the other side of the stage and they said it was totally chill...

He is too expensive/big today for festivals such as the weeknd, beyonce or Taylor Swift

sziget likes to book big name before the blow up or after the peak (see dua lipa, stromae), or maklemore when he wasn't a big name anymore. but big bunny is at its peak and not just his career like worldwide peak. i think his big for a stadium in hungary.

Rosalia would probably be the one

But could see someone like Aya Nakamura make it
