2019 Headliners

Cure did 3 nights in a row at Wembley Arena in 2016 so consecutive nights not likely to be an issue.  Don't think it rules them out for Saturday.

Weren't The Killers in Italy the night before their surprise JP slot last year?  

Fri - AM/1975?

Sat - Cure

Sun - Macca

...or someone else entirely!!!

The nights that bands play doesn't really make that much of a difference, i'd expect it just depends on when they are free but the sunday night headliner may come into Michael and Emily's thinking a bit more due to that being the day the locals come in. Macca would have seemed the obvious one to appease them rather than the cure but I suppose it depends on how much they prioritise that if at all (however they've had sheeran and coldplay on sundays recently)

To be fair, last time they headlined it was also a Sunday.

They would need to be Saturday, Macca having one day and a half after getting back if he played the Saturday I can't see. Thing is we've had some controversial Saturdays acts before and while there isn't a huge following like others for Saturday.....a lot I know similarly to Bruce in 09 wouldn't have gone near either. I think The Cure will get a tv audience though and they have well known songs. I also stand by Liam playing before them. The one is makes me question is Arctics now as 3 times round on the Friday would just be samey.

Likewise.

I'm starting to think Arctics aren't there, there is no chance surely Macca is doing is with a day and a half rest basically...unless he just isn't doing it?, The Cure can play Saturday fine...there have been options before that raised a stir far more than they will.

Why doesn’t his time on a top-of-the-range private jet constitute rest? Does he fly the plane himself, singing Hey Jude all the way?

If you judge it by 2013 Michael and Emily don't seem to like the locals all that much.

True but they were slightly big in 2013 (not that they warranted to headline IMO). Plus they probably thought that they had given them more than enough with Beyonce' at the last one

    • 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.
