    Have they ever helped? This forum just turns into pure chaos when they pop up here with one of their ‘clues’ 😅

    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

    I'm not sure if this has already been guessed, 👑 could be Harry Styles with Rolling Stone magazine naming him the new King of Pop in 2023? 

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

    I would love that! Are they still headliners?

    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.

    Maybe this 🦁 could be a clue for First Aid Kit - The Lion's Roar.
    I'm not sure if anyone has already guessed it, though.

     

    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 😉

    Another rock band that is touring is Paramore. They're in the UK & Ireland in spring, then they go back to the US to perform there until August 2 and they don't have anything scheduled afterwards.

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

    "40+ new acts flying to the Island including • headliners • subheadliners • fantastic artists • who will perform at TicketSwap Colosseum, dropYard powered by BOLT, ibis x ALL Europe Stage or Party Arena"

    Looks like smaller stages artist included too. Don't know why they keep forgeting Freedome arena, on the webpage under "exciting venues" it is also missing. 

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

    I would say the same. Don’t see how the red cross could stand for anything else

    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.

    OMFG! I just had an Idea... I put one of the clues in for Chat GPT to see what it comes up with! No WAY! 

     

    This was my question: If I give you a clue 0619 which refers to a popular music band, which one would it be?

     

    And Chat GPT-s answer: Based on the clue "0619," the popular music band that it refers to is most likely the Korean boy band BTS, also known as the Bangtan Boys. The numbers "0619" represent June 19th, which is the date of member Jungkook's birthday. BTS is one of the most popular and successful music groups in the world, known for their catchy pop music, intricate choreography, and socially conscious lyrics.

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

    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.
