Sziget posted the official recap video. Video clips feature Bring Me The Horizon and Baby Lasagna. 🤯 The comments are already full of people saying Lasagna and BMTH were the absolute highlights, and many are demanding more rock/metal energy for 2027!

Pure hot stuff alert!

Ahead of his performance on Friday, he told 24sata.hr how it is becoming more and more real with every passing moment that he will be performing, together with his band, at this festival, and with that, his nervousness is growing.

"However, I must say that I see progress and maturation, so now it's about butterflies in the stomach and excitement, not paralyzing fear like before the performance at Nova Rock Festival. I believe that we have a very good set and production with which I'm sure we would 'eat' if we played on the main stage. I'm sure it would be a great party even then!" - he revealed to us.

Among the songs he will perform is 'Face On Your Phone', his latest song that deals with online violence, public exposure and the feeling of anonymity that gives many the impression that they can say whatever they want behind a screen, without consequences. Marko revealed to us that the reactions to it have been good so far.

"While I was walking through the festival, I was stopped by fans from abroad who told me several times that they thought the song was great and that they were looking forward to hearing it on Friday," he said. He arrived at the Sziget festival early, because of TwentyOnePilots, whom his wife Elizabeta especially loves.

There have also recently been changes to the band's lineup. My brother Martin took the bass, and Nikola Batelić from Luzer took over the guitar. I think we did well. This situation caused us to think and adapt, so we improved a lot of things and further intensified the sound - he added. And for the audience at Sziget, they prepared a lot of energy and a high level of production, he says.

We rented a lot of additional equipment to enhance the show. So much so that the Sziget organization had to calm us down a bit and wouldn't even let us do some things - he said with a laugh.

And there's no stopping after Sziget - they have more concerts throughout the summer, followed by preparations for a tour of Europe and the United Kingdom.

One of Europe’s biggest music festivals officially kicked off in Budapest, running from August 11th to 15th. This year’s lineup is absolutely massive, featuring headliners like Florence + The Machine, Lewis Capaldi, Skrillex, Twenty One Pilots, Bring Me The Horizon, Skepta, and Jorja Smith.

For the Croatian crowd and Eurovision fans, the biggest highlight is definitely Baby Lasagna, who is performing on the Island of Freedom for the very first time! This will be his biggest festival stage yet, making it the perfect opportunity to showcase his new musical repertoire to a massive international audience.

He arrived at the festival grounds with Elizabeta (video attached with his track Face on your phone playing in the background)!

Who else is going to be in the crowd cheering for him this Friday? 🐱🎸

As a Baby Lasagna fan, I have to say this makes me genuinely angry.

Marko has done what we should be encouraging artists to do: working with small Croatian businesses to create high-quality, beautifully designed merch, while investing in 100% eco-friendly packaging, recycled materials and sustainable solutions. He has even turned down major sponsorships when they didn’t align with his values.

And what does doing things responsibly get you?

More bureaucracy. More paperwork. More costs.

The problem with the EU’s new packaging rules isn’t the environmental goal. Sustainable packaging is a good thing. The problem is the bureaucratic burden being placed on independent artists and small businesses.

Instead of focusing on creating music, art and quality products, they are expected to deal with registrations, fees, legal representatives and complicated compliance requirements across the EU — costs that may be manageable for huge corporations, but can be crippling for small businesses and independent artists.

And that’s the irony:

Instead of rewarding sustainability and independence, the system risks punishing them.

Big corporations have entire legal and administrative departments to deal with this. A small Croatian producer working with an independent artist doesn’t.

If the result is higher merch prices or artists simply stopping shipments to certain countries, fans lose too. International fans (especially in the US) already face brutal shipping costs.

This isn’t an argument against environmental responsibility.

It’s an argument against a bureaucracy that disproportionately punishes the very small businesses and independent artists we should be supporting.

And honestly, that feels deeply unfair.
