Reading and Leeds announced 📢
Who will we get from these?
I go for: Stormzy, Two Door Cinema Club, Slowthai, Tom Greenan, Denzel Curry. By a long shot, I also hope for RTJ (will not happen tho), Girl in Red, The Bronx, Gallows and Danny Brown.

Ahh Stormzy a headliner indeed... No Eminem unfortunately, would've expected him! But Two Door Cinema CLub, Slowthai, COURTENEERS!!!, Sam Fender and Rex are really nice!
RATM + Eminem seemed more like a Coachella/Glasto budget.
Anyway, standard english festival mainly appealling to english goers (rightfully, I say). Will probably look for Wien's tickets for RATM - the rest is nothing of astonishing for a "european" .

Are Bastille coming back again this year? They are basically at Sziget every 2nd year (2014,2016,2018, 2020?) They've been at Volt festival in 2015, and at Strand festival in 2017 and 2019. They won't be at Balaton Sound for sure. And I think they won't be at Volt festival this year beacuse timetable is already out, sooo, Sziget 2020? 🤷🏼♂️ Thoughts?

I can't see Major Lazer headlining only becase they are not headlinng at Mad Cool festival (and it's a smaller festival than Sziget 🤷🏼♂️)
Mad Cool is what? Smaller? Mad Cool is Live Nation, it's not smaller, it's just shorter and messier, but they easily spend the double of the money of Sziget in 4 days on the bands.
Major Lazer can co-headline big time, honestly, and moreover, if they play, Diplo is likely to take a spot in the A38 at night or Party Arena as well

@chunkychips127 said few days ago that he knows 3 headliners, so I guess Stormzy maybe will be a sub or he will co-headline. He might take the 7:30 PM time slot, as in 2018 he was at 5:45 PM on the Main Stage.
Care: the three headliners he had were Eminem, KoL and Calvin Harris. This fourth comes unexpected, as he said he would have returned by the next week.
As a fourth headliner, Major Lazer makes sense for the second EDM slot, tho..

Stormzy
Or First Order, as for New Order

I've heard so many rumours regarding L&R.
The only thing i've heard from a reliable(ish) source is, LG, MCR & Gorillaz/BMTH.
If they announce by the 17-18, it will be Eminem for sure

I've predicted Gaga for the past few months. I think she'd be an amazing booking for the festival but @Sziget2020_Leaks ruled her out. Gutted.
Re: ticket sales, Gaga and Beyoncé would sell like hot cakes. Britney would sell like stale bread.
Britney Spears is the meme trash concert I always dream about but I am never brave enough to buy tickets for.
She belongs in a whole macro-category in which every boyband-pop artist of the late 90s - early 00s belong, which also include: Backstreet Boys, Blue, Aqua, Avril Lavigne, Spice Girls, another time Britney Spears because jesus christ Toxic

One more thing... @Sziget2020_Leaks also said that 1 headliner will be announced in March. We expect Eminem in February, so maybe we'll get a Beyonce tour announcement in March with her at Sziget?
Celine Dion is playing Paleo festival on the 20th of July.
Six names announced in this release, that makes me think it will be: Eminem, Shawn Mendes, KoL, 2 EDM, female head. They will take their time for the seventh name that is most likely not yet defined my the Sziget management itself - as The National were not last year.
If the situation is correct, the policy of announcement will be similar to the one they used last year: 6 headliners and some very strong names in one strike (Ed Sheeran was released in september due to contractual terms) and one after a while, when they worked out the most of the festival.
The decision to invest in KoL and not in The Strokes, thinking about it, might be due to the fact that the investment in FF+21P last year did not pay that well, since the day did not sold out.

Beyoncé would be a MASSIVE booking but she's not active at the moment.
Britney would be an OK booking but is she active?
Katy Perry is also not active.
It seems strange that we are looking at announcement in the next ten days (perhaps) which appears to contain at least three headliners (Eminem, Mendes and female head) who aren't currently active.
I wonder whether we need to look at other options for the female head. Why would age be the differentiation between Lizzo and the other person? I still wonder whether we're looking at someone quite a bit older. So, have the following ever appeared before?
Robyn (she's around but is she big enough?)
Stevie Nicks (she's at numerous U.S festivals in early summer but nothing mentioned for Europe)
Shit, I genuinely can't think of any other possibilities. That's poor!
EDIT: Ignore this post, just read Yelo's post which must've been done around the same time. If the leaker is telling the truth then I can't really see it being anyone other than Katy.
The fact that the info about the female headliner are strictly confidential to the point that a leaker cannot leak it, makes me think that she is an exclusive. Sziget did it before (basically KoL in 2015, Pink in 2017, LdR and Mumford in 2018 and Ed Sheeran last year - considered the exclusiveness of Pink and ES), and as Eminem will release some dates the 17/02 (as R&L awaits him as well and maybe PKP too, who knows) he is not an exclusive. This leads to believe that, at best, Shawn Mendes and this Female headliner are exclusives, which is fairly believable.
Robyn is not headliner material and Stevie Nicks is definetely out of the meta for this announcement, that is obvious (only the fake leaker So Sad Simone, to hell with him, talked about her).
So yeah, those are the two picks I do, Beyonce and Katy Perry, of course there can be others as in the realm of exclusives, possibilities are infinite.

There's a Polish dude who might have leaked her, that's why we think it could be her.
This is the full list, actually: Beyonce, Katy Perry, Nicki Minaj, Christina Aguilera, Alicia Keys, Kelly Clarkson, Britney Spears, Leona Lewis, Kesha, Avril Lavigne, Paramore / Hayley Williams. Adele isn't in the mix because she is younger than Lizzo, not older.
Im referring to this post:
Ok, so we understand that female headliner is not Gaga or Shakira, but maybe one of these: Adele, Rihanna, Katy Perry, Pink, Lana Del Rey, Beyoncé, Britney?
On 2/3/2020 at 8:41 PM, Sziget2020_Leaks said:Yes
Since we said that 3 only headliners are returning acts, we can take out both Rihanna, Pink and Lana Del Rey. That leaves Adele, KP, Beyonce and Britneybitch. All of these are older than Lizzo (with Adele being younger by a couple days), so okay, take her out.
Than we have:
Katy Perry
Beyonce
Britney Spears
Neither of the three have a tour announced, but as I said, I find hard to believe Britney Spears has so much relevance nowadays, so we have left Beyonce and Katy Perry.
Conclusion: await Katy Perry and in best case scenario you will be surprised with Beyonce

Can't swallow so fast the fact are paying big money for someone like Katy Perry . How old is targeting audience, 15?
Don't want to insult anyone but out of all possible names in music industry how can she be huge headliner? I really don't see her as quality act, Witness was a disaster, Witness: The Tour not really sold out etc ..
Florence, Lorde, Lana (on studio records) ... are something else.
Looks like undercards will be strong but this lineup could look similar to 2017 .. that had 100k visitors less than 2018.
The possibilities isolated from the hints are the following: Adele, Katy Perry, Beyoncé, Britney Spears (three returning acts are Shawn Mendes, Kings of Leon and Calvin Harris, hence Lana del Rey is excluded).
Ruled out Britney Spears, as that would be a meme booking (she was playing minor festivals in Belgium in 2018), the three possibilities left are good for the most part, and given the shape of the lineup I am more susceptible to think it is Beyoncé, rather than Katy Perry.
Not that I give a heck, 'cause I will go for a three days around Eminem and Foals whatsoever, but I think that sticking with the worst case scenario (Katy Perry) will leave anybody less disgusted if the booking turns out to be another (and hence, a better booking).
EDIT: Also, for as much as I like to moan about the 2017 lineup, I have to give it to them that the A38 that year was probably the best in years taken as a whole, and there were loads of worthy unercards. For what concern the failure of the edition, it was due to the lack of greatness in the names, with only Pink being worth the mention. If this year collects Eminem, one of those singers listed above, Shawn Mendes and Kings of Leon (second biggest name in 2015), it will be a success whatever the effort in the rest of the lineup

Uploaded leak-scheme, then, I guess it is consistent as well at this point

Clue of the day (no more till next week) Next headliner
Campbell Haggis = Calvin Harris.
EDIT: In fairness, that would be 3 on 3 suggestions that are consistent with Sziget2020_Leaks

Although I remain highly skeptical about this leaker, I just had an half an hour to spare at work, so I made a visual recap of all the details he gave so far (green ones are the one confirmed by the trusted leaker - consider KoL in green as well).
There has been very few contradictions, I owe him that, the major one consisting in few details on the female headliner follower by a "no comment policy".
Except for Shawn Mendes, Eminem and Foals, the rest of the names has been positioned at random days in credible time-slots.
Now, @Sziget2020_Leaks, ball's in your court: you confirm everything, correct/add/remove anything?

EDM DJs are not as expensive as proper bands (+ they 1975/National days didn't sell to well, so they might be thinking they'll have better day ticket sales with another big EDM DJ), meanwhile I don't think that Shawn was that expensive either because he's returning to Sziget after 2 years only. KoL should also be way cheaper than Foo Fighters.
Eminem is indeed very expensive and maybe Katy Perry & The Strokes would be too, but overall financially I think it's going to be the same as last year for them.
Who would have ever dared to think that a whole day fully dedicated to British audience only in the two main stages and a day where the indiest of the name touring is opened by Macklemore wouldn't sell well? Man, I guess the world is turning upside down here.
Don't hate the game, hate the gamers: there were some intelligent picks here or there that year, but the whole outcome looked like a rookie job for the best part

I was in Bilbao for BBK during the world cup semi vs croatia, had tickets to see Jamie XX and loads more DJs outside the Guggenheim but didn't go in favour of watching the football in a crappy English pub. Still have nightmarish flashbacks.
I'm in Madrid Tuesday-Tuesday so got lots of time either side and I've visited Madrid once before- nice but maybe not a weeks worth of nice.Was in Madrid the day before MC18 for that match, went to a tourist-trap british pub in the center and, I mean, I paid kinda lot but I watched the game in the front row and, for a non-involved party in the game, that was actually a cool experience - taken away the fact that I paid something like 25 euros for a mediocre Paella, a sangria glass and a pint and that the day after I almost passed away in queue for the entrance of the goddamn festival

Just now, Steve. said:
It’s standard past few years that they have 3 big marquise acts with the big touring rock band closing the final day. That’s why I’m thinking strokes is super likely....leaves you Eminem, Strokes and some pop star as your top line.
I'd agree with you, but KoL is not a cheap name actually - so is not Shawn Mendes. *IF* this leaker is correct, than I'd rather believe that the triplette will be Eminem - Shawn Mendes - pop name with bonus Kings of Leon.
Is it subpar? Absolutely, taken Eminem apart, who remains a colossal booking for a european festival

To make up for the loss of sales on the rest of the line-up. Gonna be a quiet year except for those two days
Yep, in case it is definetely a one-trick-pony edition - likewise last year, with all the due respect: it was so evident they put everything on Ed Sheeran and 21P-Foo Fighters that the rest of the lineup looked empty at best

Only one rock headliner.

Eminem sold out two dates at Twickenham on his last round of UK shows. Kendrick is never reaching that level. Eminem’s the biggest draw in rap because he doesn’t just appeal to followers of hip hop, so would probably still be a big name in places where people don’t care much about hip hop.
IMHO, he is the only legacy-act in the hip hop scene nowaday and one of the main representatives of the early 00s music.
Might have aged fairly bad (not that anybody expected the opposite, quite frankly), but he still resides in the category of performers "you gotta see, cause you owe it to the your younger self" for many born in the early 90s.

Is there any other reason than this guy that people think Shawn Mendez gonna be there? The guy just finished a very lucrative 9 month world tour in December. Why’d he decide to spend this summer doing festivals? Surely 2020 Gonna be spent recording and releasing a new album.
I'll probably sound nasty-minded, buuuuut... with the amount of ghostwriters and co. these new "singer-songwriters" have, I'd be gutted if that requires more than 4-5 months to work up and be ready to release a new album. It is more about the recovery time of the performer, rather than the excruciating fatigue of coming up with a new pop hit, IMO.
24 minutes ago, swelsbyuk said:I guess that Sziget promised him a future headline slot when they saw how well he did with his support slot in 2018.
More likely they contracted something similar from the beginning, especially if that will turn out to be an european / festival exclusive - everybody knew that Mendes-Kygo would have been a killer day in terms of selling -,
18 minutes ago, Steve. said:No I don’t buy it. One guy makes a rumour on here it pops up on reddit, festileaks etc. Also he played 2018, why have him back so soon. Mendes now makes about 1 m usd per show he doesn’t need a headline slot at a Hungarian festival to bolster his status....I’m calling it bull....hope not to be proved wrong 😝
I'm on this man's boat, but whatever, let's play the game
Sziget 2020
in overseas festivals

I'd go with Dua Lipa (or whoever she is) and Shawn Mendes. The first because it is legitimate to think that the contract is not sealed yet, the second because, according to Leaks, will have daily tickets increased in price.
This announcement won't require quality, the quantity should be enough, and if my analysis is correct, having two rock headliners (KoL and The Strokes?) and two EDM headliners (Calvin Harris and Major Lazer?) will satisfy a little both the opposite poles of goers
