Care to assist @Sziget2024_Leaks? How many acts are hidden within TINY RETINOL CLANKS?

If they're in A38 when Fred's on main stage I'll be gutted.

I thought the same. They would want to give them a little fanfare on Wednesday I would think.

How do you get all them from 'Kilometers'?

Just checked everywhere and nobody has got beyond the first line. If each line contains two acts then they must be unknown ones (which will not go down well on socials once revealed), especially if it's some Mongolian nose flute players called Thpifycyjdns.

D'oh, meant third. But letters remaining leave nothing or nobody I recognise.

Second is Raye and someone else.

I think most of us are in the same situation re: headliners. I can't wait for Fred Again... and, no matter what people think, he's a massive booking with serious credibility. I'm not sure I've ever met a Sam Smith fan in my life, but on Spotify he has four songs that have reached 1 billion streams and, by the end of the year, I suspect all four will have broken 2 billion streams each. So, someone is listening to him. I thought Garrix's show was excellent in 2019 and will watch again. Stormzy is the weird one. Due to be a sub in 2020 and, yet, is a headliner in 2024 with no significant release between the two dates. Strange. Two (potentially three?) headliners to go. Subs are looking good though if rumours/leaks are to be believed. Raye and Janelle Monae provide excellent female representation and will both be great live. Line up just needs more guitars and live music, rather than button pushing IMHO.

Why so? We have three announcements it seems, and have only had one so far. It wasn't the greatest, but in four days we have another. Wait and see what comes. Losing TDCC is hardly the end of the world!

What I want to know is.....why Wednesday 27 March? Why not Tuesday 26 March? Or today? Is someone announcing something on that date, or are they just pushing it as far as they can before Easter hits in the hope of getting another act or two signed up?

Would love all them but pretty sure Vampire Weekend are a European festival exclusive at Primavera.

She can't have upset the organisers too much, if that's true, as they've invited her back this year and top-lined her. If it's correct, I think it's a fantastic booking.

Would be very pleased if she does come. Tightrope holds a very special place in my heart.

More likely a version of this in the Magic Mirror after main stage closes.

I'm hoping, fingers crossed, that Sziget has asked her to do that ahead of her being announced by them on Wednesday.

Hoping we share a few more acts with Pukkelpop. Would love it if Sziget got some of: Barry Can't Swim, Confidence Man, Jorja Smith, Maisie Peters, Miles Kane, QOTSA, Soulwax, Sugababes, The Kills, The Vaccines. Also, maybe Michael Kiwanuka from Grape and Keane, NBT and TDCC from Summer Well. Any chance @Sziget2024_Leaks?

I can't believe this is even a discussion. In 2023, prior to Sziget, Mackelmore toured the UK playing at Academy venues with a capacity of around 1,500. The Killers play stadiums with capacities of between 40,000 and 70,000. Yes, Mackelmore is fun. I enjoy his set, but he does not sell vast quantities of tickets or add prestige to a line-up - and a headliner is meant to do both.

He IS pretty good, but he's at Sziget more often than Dreher!

More importantly, who are the 41 people who liked it!

With the silly 'blob' images of artists like Aurora and Four Tet? Hope they're a bit easier this time! Hopefully, @Sziget2024_Leakscan feed us some useful before then

Don't panic, Sziget has responded strongly:

New names for Pukkelpop tomorrow

Well, my son becomes a teenager tomorrow and I promised him last month that the line-up would "definitely, definitely, definitely" be out in time for his birthday. I'm slowly teaching him that life is full of disappointments 🤣

Sziget on Facebook chat under yesterday's STMPD RCRDS post have confirmed that Martin Garrix will play in Party Arena after he's done his main stage show. Could be a little busy! Lol.
