    Joke aside, I hope the remaining headline act is a band, preferably a guitar band. Because we have 8 headliners and none of them is an actual band.

    I'll keep my fingers crossed for Paramore or The Strokes.

    Is Maneskin free on the 7th?

    I hope we do get a big headliner for the Wednesday as, at the moment, there's not one act playing that I'm interested in. Not the best of opening days!

    At this point it could be anyone to be honest.

    Raye isn't listed as a (Sub) or headliner, my money is Fred again is Sub and then FA/Four Tet/Skrillex DJ as a headliner 

    TBH I would have put Halsey/Raye other way round.

    Arguably is Raye way more relevant and upcoming than Halsey atm.

    I really hate Sziget’s way of doimg headliners. Like wtf even is co-headlining. Reminds me of the office when they were “co-managing”. 
     

    There is ONE headliner for a stage, the one that’s in the final spot. That’s why it’s called a “head”, because there is one of it unless you were born in Chernobyl.

     

    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

    Before everyone starts to sell their tickets...we are still missing hell a lot of acts 🙂

    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.

    headliners is one thing. could be better, but its not really amazing anywhere this summer.

     

    but oh man the undercards, so many f**king amazing bands all around, and Sziget could get maybe 2 or 3.

     

    where are all the instruments, eh?

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

    Im not surprised, with the clues we had, it was already known its a weak one again.

     

    Huge F for the bookers. Their only excuse could be the lack of adequate funds.

    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.

    I completely agree but with this lineup i wouldn’t be surprised lol

    weird they’re selling day tickets if they haven’t announced the headliner yet

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

    I hope they are not the headliner as well, but at this point I don't know if any artist is left who I would be happy with

    This.

    Anyone who would have been actually exciting seems to have been ruled out. (For the female headliner)

     

    prove me wrong but when it’s Demi Lavato or Rita Ora I’m not going to be dropping my jaw

    She's certainly got a very loyal following. Not sure if she's quite at headline size for a festival the size of Sziget. Suspect turnout would be like The National in 2019. 

    The National definitely had the smallest crowd that year
