How much did they have announced last year same time? They're either holding back for something huge or they really have nothing to announce..

Sadly it's probably the latter, this festival stopped being about big bands a while back now. Somewhere around the time the city started to make the organisers pay to use the land.

I doubt there will be a closing act after Kasabian.

I would say headliners currently look like:

Monday - Robbie Williams

Tuesday - Florence and the Machine

Wednesday - Unknown

Thursday - Unknown

Friday - Kasabian

Saturday - Unknown

Sunday - Martin Garrix

The announcements so far are 30%-ish of the total lineup. Depending on who else they can get, we may find that some of those 'Unknown' headliners turn out to be Ellie Goulding, Alt-J or Foals, IMO. But we can all hope they have something better up their sleeves.

Think they'll get another headlining size band (let's wait and hope for third pukkelpop headliner). Avicii likely to headline one night with a band (not so big) before him. And I think we'll probably have The Libertines and Lenny Kravitz.

I agree The Libertines and Avicii seem likely. Kings of Leon have only announced one European show so far and should not be discounted. Would love to see Kendrick announced but seems less likely. Other bands likely to turn up Tame Impala, The Offspring, Limp Bizkit, Major Lazer and FFS.

I believe The Offspring will headline one day with a dj/electro act after them. Last time they played was in 2009 subbing Faith No More and it was a very good concert, so it's time they come back.

The Libertines are around but their tour is strange. I think it's 50-50.
Lenny Kravitz is also a good possibility and would bring some rock to Main Stage. He would be very welcome to me seeing how the lineup is shaping this year.

But I agree, we have to wait for the 3rd Pukkelpop headliner. Or maybe something out of the hat. I don't believe that all the budget increasement of this year will go to Robbie Williams and Party Arena. Maybe it's time for a European exclusive? Sziget management should start thinking about something like that. Think big to grow bigger. Sziget is the Best European Major Festival and should try to be the best again.

EDIT. As @Noeliam said, Kings of Leon's date in Barcelona is a European exclusive, so we can count them out.

I personally sent them a message on Facebook asking if they are an european exclusive. Unless they lied to me...

@ilbeyene some bands can be pulled out of a hat for sure if you have the right budget. I'm sure they still have some more money for a big headliner. Red Hot Chili Peppers, Radiohead, Green Day, I don't know! Coldply or Muse would be perfect!

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
    • Yup and they aren't cheap   Glastonbury is different though, it's a place that will pack out for rarities they don't usually see. Download strictly speaking shouldn't be the strangest place for Avril to pop up of she had been a touring artist of longer times over the years.   Avril and GC would get the same billing for me and GC are selling arenas out quicker than Avril sold Ally Pally. Bearing in mind she'd pnly done soem Brixton dates before.
    • Avril gets above GC on rarity (see Cypress Hill this year). She drew in something like 70,000 at Glastonbury, so much so that they had to close the field off. I’d wager that she would get the biggest crowd of the entire weekend if she was to play DL.
