Just had my 1st look at the T lineup for this year - Mumford and bums, Killers, Rihanna as headliners. I reckon we could see one of those. 2010, Glasto and T both had Muse, 2011 - they both had coldplay. Not a strong reasoning behind it but they do tend to share at least one headline act.

Mumford are definitely 100% playing, it just depends whether as sub to the Stones or as headliners.

Personally I think they are currently booked to sub the Stones but will end up headlining the Sunday.

I'm still placing all my faith in Prince headlining Sunday, Mumfords are not whats required ffs, their brit performance was terrible.

I dont get it people, lets stop trying to put a positive slant on them potentially closing the

festival, if they do it'll be sh1t - you all know it.

If not Prince then Justin Timberlake (things I never thought I 'd say). His performance the other night was great, full of life and genuinely entertaining :)

Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see Prince headline. Christ, I'd actually love to see JT play (not sure about headlining) I'm just saying that Mumfords are definitely playing.

Having said that, I don't get all the vitriolic hate for them. Every time they've played before they've gone down a storm, they're a British band that loves the festival and the festival loves

them. There's far worse being mentioned as potential headliner - that total knob end Kanye West for starters!!

I would possibly see Kanye as I really liked his first one and a half albums and my eighteen year old self would probably not forgive me if I didn't catch him. Having said that, I haven't enjoyed his musical output since then. I highly doubt I'd see Mumford but who knows? It's happened before that I have no intention of being somewhere and for some bizarre reason I end up in front of the very stage.

Either way, I'm indifferent to either of them getting the nod. Fair enough if they do.

    • Me too.  Reckon they must have more this year.   Not bad is it - ended up paying same price as this year.  It still represents great value for me.  Well, until I check my bank account the Monday after the weekend.
    • Well mayors have more powers to do that sh*t...but they have to make the numbers add up.
    • We'll see. Bristol and Leeds are both massively overdue big public transport investment - 2 of the cities with the worst transport infrastructure per capita in Western Europe. If this works to help support investment projects great and fair play to Burnham.
    • The Bródy Day was his idea because Sziget has always been late when it comes to this kind of concert. They would only organize farewell performances or tribute shows after an artist had passed away. Since Bródy is one of the country's greatest singer-songwriters, they wanted to honor him while he is still alive. (He didn't say it exactly like that, but the man is 80 and has just stopped playing large concerts.) He never understood why anyone would focus exclusively on one generation, especially Gen Z, who have less disposable income, drink less, and are, in his words, "afraid of partying." He explained that in the past, people loved festivals because of the nonstop partying, whereas many younger people today find that experience overwhelming or exhausting. That's one of the reasons why Sziget will introduce more chill zones and sensory-friendly spaces. They also want to attract older generations, who are generally more willing and able to spend money. The Sziget Icons days are aimed at this audience, and in the future they hope to create a more balanced lineup that appeals to people over 35 as well.   It was a long interview. If anything else comes to mind, I'll share it.
