If the first two headliners are Radiohead and The Cure, and if they are booking the headliners now/recently, I could see the third being Green Day on account of them having no Scottish date.

Don't really appeal to the same crowd but they will draw in a slightly older crowd and less of the crowd they seem to be trying to move away from. And if it's a day ticket only affair it wouldn't really matter that they don't appeal to Radiohead/Cure fans.

Interesting... Green Day playing Bellahouston Park on 4th July, promoted by PCL Presents. Directly competing pretty much with the new DF concert it would seem!

Supported by Rancid no less! I'll definitely be picking up tickets on Friday. 

Pity it wasn't Glasgow Green though. That would have been much handier.

Aye but they're doing places they missed off last year, like Ireland and Wales whereas Scotland and England got a visit on this tour.

They have apparently knocked back festival bosses saying they wouldn't be doing festivals and I imagine Glasgow Green will get the same. With their stage setup you can see why. Obviously they did Glasto last year but they had all sorts of different things going on in the set to carry it off without the props, plus the history with the festival.

Aye. I'm skeptical myself, but the talks are apparently happening, and I don't think they needed the props at Glasto. Their stage show wasn't actually that different to what I seen at Hampden for what it's worth.

Think we could be looking at Biffy Clyro, The Cure and Radiohead as the top three. Maybe take out Biffy and put in Muse who aren't exclusives.

    • 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.
