The undercard is definitely weaker than it was in previous years… obviously I’m a big Lorde fan so I personally see her as a good headliner but I was expecting to see more names I knew on the undercard be announced.

The thing I don’t understand is why is the first day so heavy loaded: Florence, Sam fender, bonobo, & foals. Towards the end of the festival the undercard starts to get weaker and weaker.

Mumford & sons is not surprising. And we were already expecting Lorde/Macklemore. all in all it’s a solid line up. Just Mumford & sons aren’t to my taste!

I am not complaining about Lorde, she’s one of my favourite artists atm. https://youtu.be/g6zaa86SO9k

Now I’m back to Mumford & sons 🦁

Could it be paramore then? I mean it’s a long shot but is there a chance they could be announcing some shows on Tuesday? The killers & strokes & placebo already have shows signed this summer, so I don’t get why that would be held back. In my eyes Royal Blood are a sub. They are headlining truck festival with two door cinema and alt j, none of which would be big enough to headline sziget

I imagine first Aid Kit would be 3rd down main stage. we also have a sub headliner for Billie to be announced and a headliner and sub for the ‘rock day’, but all the festival itself atm seems to be hinting towards is Lorde… which brings the question of is this the biggest name they are announcing?

I think it’s one of those things where she’s bigger than a sub but not big enough to headline outright. If they partner her up with Macklemore, like they partnered the national up with them in 2019, then it will be viewed as a strong enough headline.

This is what concerns me… we’ve had so many hints for lorde but none for the second headliner. so either it’s going to be spectacular… or the second headliner is a total flop and therefore they are not hinting it…

Pretty sure she’s headlining. I reckon Macklemore will be her ‘co-headliner’.

First aid kit would be amazing

I can’t imagine we won’t have a rock headliner… but Paramore as a festival exclusive would be amazing… but surely a bit of a stretch too far? Avril Lavigne would equally be great… but seems unlikely i think the killers or the strokes are the most likely, as they are playing other festivals. I’m expecting: lorde/Macklemore/the killers/ Mumford & sons(co-headline/sub), girl in red. Maybe Tove Lo will come too?

Based on the previous history of Sziget, we know they often share names with R&L and they are this year- could we therefore get the Killers as the final headliner (sorry if this has already been discussed). If the 🦁 = Mumford & sons, I’d personally have them second down under imagine dragons. Given victorious have them as a headliner it would be (in my opinion) a weak booking if they were headlining. The first day of the festival is very strong already so I don’t think we will get much extra added to this but the second half there is a lot of potential. What I think it could look like in a best case scenario (for headliners/coheadliners) 10th: Florence 11th: Imagine dragons/ Mumford & sons 12th: David Guetta 13th: The Killers 14th: Lorde/ Macklemore 15th: Billie Eilish that would give us 2 days with co-headliners like in 2019. The only thing really missing is a rapper, who I assume will be under Billie Eilish (but I don’t know my rappers very well)

I’m still sure Lorde is on the line up. It fits in perfectly with her august European run. I could definitely see her as a Co-headline but I would have assumed she will take the closing spot. So a Lorde/Macklemore co-headline is what I am assuming will be announced. In 2019 we had 9 headliners for 7 days music, so there’s nothing to say we can’t have 8 this year over 6 days. It just depends how much they want to go for it this year.

Could the rock band headliner be on the Sunday and lorde/Macklemore combo on the Monday? Otherwise they might be on separate days

Sorry for double post. Macklemore has another performance on the Sunday 13th. So him and lorde would have to co headline on the Monday

Wouldn’t be surprised if Macklemore is there again- he always seems to be 😅 What about first aid kit on the undercard?

I don’t think the line up is bad but it’s also not good enough to make me really want to go there

Haim for Sziget?

In another topic someone said lorde is only accepting headline shows? No clue if this is credible. She would have be co-headliner then

Lorde and Haim in the same day would be absolutely incredible

A genuine question but why is Sziget now only 6 days when it was 7 in 2019? does that mean there’s only 2 more headliners to go? Lorde and one more..?

Betting Lorde will be added into this as this event fits in with her European run.

What about Lorde for this given she’s doing a European august tour?

Could it be Lorde? She’s doing a Europe tour and just starting to announce the dates now
