Mumford and Sons headlined Glasto in 2013

Good God, I don't log on for an hour and all hell breaks loose! What have we got so far? Lorde Mumford Girl in Red I hate models Maybe Confidence Man Maybe boygenius Loyle Carner Mackelemore ?

Drum and bass iirc.

@Sziget2023_Leaks

Can anyone speak French? Lol Pronostics appears to be French for prognosis so The Cure is being mentioned on the Rock En Seine EFestivals group.....

Fair point. My concern, as others have already expressed, is the potential lack of rock headliner being teased (unless the lion is Mumford and Sons and, frankly, Lorde is more rock than them!). A confirmation that a rock headliner is, or isn't, incoming would be gratefully received @Sziget2023_Leaks

Sorry - I've accidently downvoted and it won't let me change it! Nothing personal.

Okay @Sziget2023_Leaks How many of these 12 are correct please? - The Killers - Paramore - Mumford and Sons - Lorde - Blur - First Aid Kit - I Hate Models - Royal Blood - The Strokes - Bonobo - Bicep - Girl In Red ?

Jeez, you're right. Could've sworn it was pre-covid.

I think the build up to announcing someone as huge as Harry Styles would be MUCH bigger than it has been tbh.

The last festival Placebo headlined in the UK was Bearded Theory about three or four years ago. That festival's capacity is 12,000. Not sure how much bigger they are in mainland Europe but, for me, they are a strong sub but deffo not headliner size.

That's quite a decent shout. They're certainly around in Europe at the time of Sziget. And any suggestion that removes Mumford and Sons from consideration gets the thumbs up from me 😉

No way will Paramore sub Billie. Avril would I suspect but she doesn't have anything in the diary after May.

I've hoped for them from the very start, so would be very happy if it were them. Fingers crossed.

They're playing Paris in October so deffo not a joint announcement with Rock en Seine

I'm going to have to disagree with you on that.

It might be an obvious statement, but at least that appears to be confirming that we'll get both main stage headliners announced.

Just announced in Canada 4th to 6th August. A few of these are heading to Sziget afterwards, I wonder how many more might:

That might be my fault. I said we were taking it too literally as when I looked up I Hate Models it only came up with one song. Just checked Spotify and they've done a few. My bad, it's clearly I Hate Models. Sorry for the goose chase.

40 names coming on Tuesday according to new Sziget social media post.

There's more chance of me headlining than BTS I'm afraid. I'm sure some of them are currently doing military service iirc.

Definitely! Many other ways of showing that group.

Supermodel - SZA Young and Beautiful - Lana Del Rey Not sure how the red X fits with those though!

I think we might be being a bit literal with 'I hate models'

I saw him in 2019 too and was thoroughly entertained. I can't imagine him doing anything other than subbing. No way is he headliner-size but I don't think his star has fallen enough for him to be third on the main stage. Bit disappointed if it is him, but only because I was hoping @Sziget2023_Leaks might leak an exciting new name like Wet Leg, Yard Act or The Snuts.
