Usually a lot closer, march onward if im correct, but the 2 main headliners (as in co headliners) 100% wont clash. theyll be on separate stages (the two main ones next to each other) and one will start as one finishes so youll just move from one side of the arena to the other, might be a little gap to get a pint if youre lucky!
They don't clash, but you won't get first row at both, as they play 5-10 mins one from the other - so first rows in the first show means in the crowd during the second set.
I remember i gave up Depeche Mode after QOTSA in '18 because I was too tired for the show and I wanted a first row at NIN (and eventually ended up jumped back after two seconds in the set because of the moshpit ahah)

It’s strongly believed that MCR are embargoed by Coachella. If they do indeed have a European tour tba it will probably have to wait until after Coachella drops it’s lineup.
They are already announced for Download in Japan and Australia, but I guess that those are two different circuits...

Last buzz in Spanish Forums is Beck, who is announced in Beuningen 3-5 july. Only whispers of lust.
Rumoured also that RCHP is signed a long time ago, waiting for announce, people fom the organization leaves enigmatic messages around... I give full credit to this gossip.
All in all, is not possible together Strokes, RCHP. Beck, MCR, Arcade Fire, Post Malone, Tame Impala, all rumoured projected headliners, but arguably, it,s a probable scenario 2 out of that 7, will be friday,s "cabezonis"
Let,s see
MCR are not rumored as headliners and I also doubt that Beck can fill a spot bigger than an opener for a festival this big.
Post Malone and Tame Impala should not be expected since they played in 18, but having said this i think that Tame Impala would be' received better and costs less - so, the general outcome would be more appreciable.
EDIT - My phone is racist lmao

I would love The Strokes + Arcade Fire. It is going to be RHCP + MCR though.
As said before, Kendricks only show in Spain is BBK.
MCR are not expected to be headliners.
I can honestly see MCR playing the first day sub-head and two out of Tame Impala/Arcade Fire/RHCP/The Strokes filling the friday

They were actually my headliner 'wild card'. Not somebody I wanted to see but a 'big' act that the festival might have been holding out for. I guess that idea's scuppered!
So, I know we've done this a million times but we're clearly not going to get anything now until well into January. Who's left that might actually be around in Europe in August 2020?
The Weeknd seems a strong rumour. As does Bon Iver (sadly).
RHCP and The Killers look possible, if not probable.
Taylor Swift appears less likely now but Justin Timberlake appears to be on the cusp of being announced for Coachella for a potential festival tour to follow.
Brit-wise, Foals, Kasabian and Liam are all around.
EDM headliner seems to be AVB almost guaranteed.
Thing is, if Taylor isn't there, we are lacking a female head. Might be Billie Eilish but beyond that I'm stumped. Thoughts?
Everything looks correct, but we lack of an hip hop name and at least one female name.
Considering the "standard" lineup they pulled out in recent years:
Big Pop Name: Justin Timberlake (or Lady Gaga or whoever)
Small Pop Name / English Name / Wildcard:
EDM: Armin Van Buuren (+)
Indie Name: Bon Iver (+)
Hip Hop Name:
Big R&B Name: The Weeknd (+)
Rock Name: The Killers / RHCP
I don't really believe Billie will be thrown in the mix as she has no dates in the period, but the release of the new album could shut me up real good and she would fit the Small Pop Name - she also would blink to the english audience if opened by an English-statused headliner (like a Gallagher, The Libertines, Foals or Kasabian).
About the Hip Hop name, this has to be a major concern, as both KL and Posty had major positive reactions at the announcement and (awkwardly enough for Post Malone) also positive reviews by the general audience. I still point my finger at Travis Scott as I reckon that Tyler should be touring in early summer and also he is not that big to headliner a day without having critics at the announcement, Travis Scott on the other hand would seal the deal, like it or not, (and then he would probably retire from the fest three days prior the performance as for usual).
Bon Iver, AVB and The Weeknd looks nailed for what concerns me.
Now, on a personal note, this lineup would leave me unimpressed at best and I would look for the undercards, but looking at the latest booking for the smaller names, I would have an hard time to define this lineup competitive in the circuit (although as we already mentioned, the festival has no real competition in the time it plays), and for the second ear in a row it would depend on gimmicks, like Ed Sheeran or Foo Fighters+21P

Keep intrigued by second headliner for Friday, beside STROKES:
Best Option: Arcade Fire
Worst: Post Malone
Impossible: Aerosmith
Buzzing: MCR, Tame Impala, Tyler TC
Exhilarating: LCD Soundsystem
I exclude Liam cause he,ll be second fiddler at best.
All gossip & wishes, no information
I'd probably sell my mother to a combo Tame Impala + LCD Soundsystem, but I guess I'm keeping mum for a while longer

Do people choose Sziget for the lineup? I would imagine it's for the Sziget experience more than anything. Day tickets yeah, but not the 5/7 day tickets.
No, but I mean, it is not like the Sziget experience is the same like it was 5 years ago, the management itself made some changes that altered the feeling (from World Stage removal to barricades thrown randomly in the bigger stages, lineup choices themselves, etc.). Things got a little bit washed out (still remaining wild af, don't get me wrong) and the management trying to impose a supremacy in the lineup building against the other competitors (PKP and R&L to begin with), makes one asks himself what they are actually after.
TLDR: Sziget is actually after a lineup-focused festival, and the whole Sziget Experience is turning year after year into a marketing gimmick.

Just to got off topic slightly from the guessing games.... spotted today that Peggy Gou, Octo Octa and Nina Kraviz are all in the top 10 DJs of the year according to Mixmag. All three will be at Mad Cool next year.
https://mixmag.net/feature/the-top-10-djs-of-the-year-2019
It's fair to say I'll be spending some time in the Loop
Peggy Gou and Nina Kraviz are must anyway, and they will probably close the stage, so not much of a hassle with the clashing!

I have no knowledge of EDM. Is Van Buuren not good? I quite enjoyed Garrix last year despite knowing little of what was being played. The show was fun.
No chance of Chemical Brothers rather than a DJ or is a DJ an essential headliner?
It seems to be essential, given the last years booking. You have to give the younger audience some trash to chew on, if that makes sense...
AVB remains my bet for the forth-coming year, which is not properly interesting. I mean, it would have been 10 years ago with the Trance era, now it is just plain boring for me

Tame Impala in the U.S until 7 August. Chance of a trip across the pond to close Sziget? Or do we think European festival season for Tame Impala might be during mid-June to mid-July?
Bet my ass that they will focus on the RW-NOS-MC-Roskilde period rather than August, and they will take abreak after the second leg of US tour. I'd say they are over the game right now...

Never ever ever buy a ticket based on what you hope will be there, unless you have reasonable intel from an insider...

If it's just a headline slot behind The Strokes I don't see why it matters what billing they get. Not much different to Prophets of Rage headlining alongside The Cure or Faith No More with Kings of Leon imo.
Nah, I think that if MCR are a thing (and they should be), they would be third-down, IMO the same way Foals are. Not making a comparison between the band because honestly I would not know where to start, but I guess that MC already picked their quota of ambiguous headliners with Billie Eilish and Faith No More.
Which is not to say that they do not deserve the spot, don't get me wrong, but compared to 2018's edition (which IMO should always be the comparison's term for Mad Cool), the right to be there for such names is a little bit more left untold if compared to the like of those headliners.

You've missed the point. The first post said MCR peaked with that 2007 festival under Bad Religion but I was showing they were clearly taking bigger spots in Spain in 2010/11.
Plus, festivals back in the day were not the big deal they are today and bands would be less likely to turn down an offer because they got a sub-head spot rather than a head spot. I also bet there was a generally more chilled vibe about negotiation, not being tour the main source of income of a band in the LP era

Sziget suffers because of the lack of competition in my view. For example Glastonbury, Roskilde and werchter are around the same time. So they can pick up bands from the other festival quite easily.
That is true as well, right

With Liam Gallagher confirmed for Reading, & Bon Iver confirmed for august festivals, we only have two potential headliners (and is Liam a headliner?).
I have the idea that it is again a difficult year.
Doubt Liam could sell as a solo-head. In 2018 he opened to Dua Lipa and, same as his brother in 2016, he has always been publicized as a sub-headliner. The free promotion without real hit material would be awful (just like it was the promotion of Major Lazer and Kasabian to headliners in 2017 after subbing in 2015, and I guess we all remember how that year was received).
Usually the 2-3 weak headliners Sziget had in these years were fresh material, one hit wonders if you will, so I heavily doubt Liam Gallagher can be an Headliner in Sziget's mind.
On the other hand, I am pretty positive on Bon Iver being secured. Also, I agree that this looks like another difficult year for Sziget and that they are most likely waiting for an embargo / a big bargain to be over in January.
In the last 5 years, except for 2016 and 2018, it has been 3 difficult years for the target of festivals Sziget wants to strike: big headliners usually don't like to tour in August, that seems to be a fact, and Sziget eventually ends up by paying a shitload of money in exclusives, so why just don't move the festival to late July or late August than? Afraid of the competition?

What do you think are the chances of anderson.paak or hozier performing this year?
In all wild guess, I'd say Hozier has a chance, but Paak should not be possible, given the presence in early july.

What is it with Benelux exclusive these days........?
Well, given that the whole region is like a 4 hours drive from side to side, I'd say that it is reasonable for a artist of that calibre to pick only one date, even more if you can sell it as an "exclusive" (wow awesome exclusive eskere potato patato)

NIN would’ve been one of the best possible headliners for me for this. Gutted Trent decided to (understandably) delay everything by a year. Hope we get something as equally heavy/rock up top in their absence.
At least we know that next year we will have something to see

Sziget won the "Best Overseas Festival" award last night at the UK Festival Awards! The festival might also win other prizes at the European Festival Awards, event that will take place on the 15th of January 2020!
I'd be surprised if it did not happened. This year, Sziget blinked more than one eye to the british community and I guess this came with no shock.
Plus, RIP to SzigetNews I loved the harshy community back in the day

I just want them in Europe, I dont care if they sub Taylor Swift, Pope Francis or Justin Timberlake, just get them here.
