Mark Ronson would get way too big a crowd for JP to handle surely? Unless he was up against particularly strong headliners.

I could see:

Friday - Suede

Saturday - FKA Twigs

Sunday - FFS

Would much prefer FKA Twigs as 2nd/3rd on WH so I'd be more likely to see her, but picture The Maccabees high Other. Maybe Belle and Sebastian could be one of them, there seem to be lots of possible Park headliners and they seem like a band who could do either.

They accepted my request to join quickly t'other day when I was being nosey pre-line up.

JP is the hardest stage to predict, I guessed based on last years headliners being people you wouldn't choose: Kate tempest Friday (anti rock Vs foo's & had a bit of buzz about her last yr), future islands Saturday (something different to Kanye) and the vaccines on Sunday.

Did anyone see MGMTs last year, got a feeling they were not

good

I saw them and thought they were great. Love them on record but I had heard they are poor live.

Nope, they smashed it. Epic set consisting mostly of 1st album bangers, including an extended version of Kids that kicked ass, plus Siberian Breaks and a couple new ones. I just wish it went on longer...

Same here. They were brilliant I thought. The tent always has a good atmosphere for headliners whenever I've been there. Doves in 2009 were great, MGMT were great and I'm hoping we get SFA in there this year.

I'd love to see either SFA or Suede as JP headliners, they'd be great. Though personally that causes a problem as I already want to see Hot Chip and the Mothership Returns.

He's now said all three have been mentioned within the comments, given what we already know, it can only conceivably be, 3 of

Suede, The Maccabees, SFA, La Roux, FFS, Mark Ronson, Flying Lotus, Future Islands or Jamie XX

With personal question marks over The Fall, Catfish and Enter Shikari

So make from that what you will

    • 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.
