Sziget 2019

finally new names. 

february 12, 11am

[Yelo, the Parmiggiana]

Although I expect an electronic-dense announcement (Party Arena got no love so far), I go for my picks:

Main Stage: James Bay could be a good subheadliner for Ed Sheeran, Royal Blood a good co-headliner for The 1975 (as somebody else pointed out); for a rap headliner, sadly, I'm negative for Eminem, but I think we will get something like A$AP Rocky before Martin Garrix (so we got the swiggy swaggy night set), I also can see Tame Impala announced as an headliner (or sub-head of Florence, or sub-head of something classy like The National, that in turn, could also be subbed by Franz Ferdinand). Minor names that I suppose could spawn around are: Django Django, The Wombats, Daughters, Rag n Bone Man. But maybe I'm a little too optimistic.

A38: Even trickier. Supposed we have three headliners (CHVRCHES, Jungle, Kodaline), I'd go for a wild bet and point my finger on Robyn, Jorja Smith, Bloc Party and James Blake. The point here is that maybe I am too optimistic as Robyn and James Blake could easily fill a sub-headliner spot on Main Stage on their own. For the night my biggest consideration goes to Modeselektor, Jon Hopkins, Boys Noize, Wilkinson (although this is more of an hope than a prediction, for likely that that is). Less likely, but always credible: Sub Focus, Chase and Status, Richie Hawtin, Carpenter Brut, Four Tet, Astrix, Helena Hauff, Nina Kraviz, respectively from the one I'll bet more on to the least. Undercards, I'd simply go for Sigrid, AJ Tracey, Denzel Curry, Billie Eilish, Girl in red, A Day to Remember, Little Simz.

Party Arena: never been a fan, so cannot go so much in dept. Few names I heard quite often in the circuit lately are Salvatore Ganacci, Hugel, Oliver Heldens, Allison Wonderland, Afrojack.

For the Colosseum I don't think we will get nothing as usually its lineup is released in one time forward in time. Also, RIP World Stage

In 2013 third down on Main. 

In 2016 headline A38.

Thanks

Chances of Foals, last played in 2015 with a gig in Budapest the same time. Seem due a return?

Editors headlining A38 against Garrix would be perfection.

Nope, they played 22.00 in 2016, clashing with Many Chao... They really are a filler, as Balthazar and Oscar & the Wolf, as long as they there people from Netherlands (or Belgium?) are happy and that's what management wants

Bloody love Balthazar.

What are the chances of Vampire Weekend? @chunkychips127 can you give us an early leak?

Yeah it's great, if you're at the festival it's the easiest way to top up your wristband if you want to use it

Four Tet

This just made me think 'Oh Four Tet would be good but I'd prefer Bonobo'. Then I remembered that Bonobo played last year and I missed it because I was getting drunk in a gazebo. 

Seriously though, I'm liking the sounds of what people are suggesting. I've been banging the drum for Tame Impala for a while so that would make my day. I still have my suspicions that we'll end up with George Ezra and Ariana Grande but I'll stay optimistic to the last.

Great to hear new names are on the way! 

Btw, one of my favorite lineups: 

[mr. brightside]

Editors played second down on Main (2013) not third.

Full set is online at the official sziget channel.

Sure? I remember it was something like  ??? --> Editors --> The Fratellis --> Mika

 

Edit: sorry you are right, it's The Fratellis then Editors

Tame and George Ezra would be mighty fine. Would Ariana actually be like ed/foos expensive, seems like she's never really actually booked? Hopefully I guess so we don't get her.

I'm sure she'd be very expensive, I'm just no fan of pop and I've hyped myself up for announcements before and been rather disappointed. I'm looking at you Lana Del Ray announcement last year.

We only have one pop headliner so far, so another is definitely likely.
