Orla gartland is a Great Name on here and doesn’t seem like she’s doing any other shows

Sziget doesn’t always have 2 headliners a day. Sometimes someone from lower on the poster plays the ‘sub headliner’ or second slot. E.g. Jain played before Ed Sheeran in 2019 and she was low down on the poster. So we are realistically looking at one more headliner and Tom Odell or someone else will probably play the second slot

Just one and they are probably quite unlikely based on the previous clues and conversations

Think Maneskin is looking quite likely tbh

I personally think he could be a main stage sub. Jain was a main stage sub in 2019 and she was quite far down on the poster.

Can someone tell me what Halsey actually sings? I just remember having a friend who liked her like 7 years ago. I don’t know any of her songs..

🤣

Of course, maybe they haven’t finished negotiations and there isn’t a headliner actually booked yet, which is why they haven’t announced it

I don’t find them particularly exciting, but I guess they are possible and also at least a band. More realistic than the strokes/ QOTSA or paramore in my opinion

Is Maneskin free on the 7th?

I reckon it will be Macklemore too

‘Big’ Name possible for 7th I guess. Hopefully a rock band. Because there don’t really seem to be any at all this year

Halsey is the big name for 8th

At this point it could be anyone to be honest.

The line up?

TBH I would have put Halsey/Raye other way round. Arguably is Raye way more relevant and upcoming than Halsey atm.

This really frustrated me last year when Lorde & Macklemore were put as co-headliners, but Lorde got a 20 minute shorter set than Macklemore did, which was quite unjustified, as she filled 90 minutes at Coura/Boardmasters/Flow Festival. I wish they'd just put her on her own day last year rather than this co-headline nonsense which is why I personally also hate this idea of sharing 2 headliners on the same day, as one of them always ends up with a shorter set

But how long do you or they expect people to keep waiting? We’re at end of March. Flight prices are rising, accommodation rising. it’s unrealistic to keep waiting now. If they can’t present a strong second wave, then it’s time to look elsewhere.

People literally commenting they wanted Billie & Lorde on Instagram… After they complained about that last year haha

Yeah, I understand the ‘strategy’. But most of them are not really headliners at all

It’s cheaper for them to book solo artists and DJS. That’s why there’s so few bands this year

They should have honestly tried for SZA, as the female headliner. I know Lana was out a while ago so it would have been the next strongest big name. what I find particularly concerning is how many names they are ‘promoting’ up to headliners. Liam Gallagher, Stormzy, Halsey, Janelle - all ‘promoted’ to headliners when on a normal year they would probably be subs.

They’ll probably just throw Macklemore in on the third wave, like they do every year.

Agreed. We knew most of them anyway but Halsey as an addition is very uninteresting. Don’t think it’s much better than the first wave tbh

I don’t think Tom Odell would headline. He’s probably sub
