I'm bored and not done this for a few weeks, so here goes:

• Billie Eilish subbed by Sigrid
• Liam Gallagher subbed by Foals
• Calvin Harris
• The Strokes subbed by Biffy Clyro OR co-head of Biffy and BMTH
• Travis Scott
• Major Lazer co-head with Khalid
• Tame Impala

Would be more than Happy with that!

IMHO super weak, with only The Strokes having a wow factor, but I dont think that real announcement will be less flat than this, so I guess it is a good prediction

[Davidoff]

I dont think Tame Impala with be there and Bon Ivor will be  . I like it if there is a decent under card

Has anyone ever watched the 7 headliners at Sziget?

for me:

2014: 6
2015: 5
2016: 3

So 1 or 2 for my next one

I've been there every year for the past 12 years but I think I've never watched more the 3 of them.

2015: 5 (big mistake to stay at Martin Garrix for the fireworks only)

2016: 4 (big mistake to wait for Rihanna to show up)

2017: 2 (P!nk and Kasabian only)

2018: 5 (didn't stay at Dua Lipa & Kygo, meanwhile Kendrick Lamar was worth the wait despite the Rihanna experience)

2019: 2 and a half (I watched only the ending of The National + Florence & the Machine + Foo Fighters)

Nope 😀

2016: 5 (Chemical Brothers, Rihanna, Muse, Sia and Hardwell)
2018: 4 (Kendrick, Gorillaz, Dua Lipa and Arctic Monkeys)

I can absolutely see it being something similar to this. I'd only attend three of them though, four at a push.

Agree that it needs a mega name (like Ed Sheeran or Foos) that other festivals have this year (Pearl Jam, Taylor Swift or The Killers perhaps).

because of peer pressure i also attended Calvin Harris and Martin Garrix end shows... but with a good mood it wasn't so bad! especially my first year with all the happy people and fireworks.

Also, one of the best decision of my sziget experience was to go see Buika (!!!) instead of Rihanna. Anyone was there? We were not a lot...

I was at Movits, the weren't too many people there either. 

Also, what happened to RHCP, did some information rule them out? 

[Davidoff]

No sure if this is just a like but this page shows kygo and image dragons. 

[#1SzigetFan]

Source? There's nothing on Imagine Dragons' website, Songkick or Bandsintown... & Kygo will play at Balaton Sound in July.

Imagine Dragons aren't touring, and kygo is at Balaton Sound festival, so I doubt that 🤷🏼‍♂️

2017: all of them (it was my 1st 1 week Sziget experience) 

2018: 6 

2019: 5

Creamfields Festival announced Calvin Harris, Carl Cox and Nina Kraviz few days ago & Martin Garrix today. As far as I know the festival has the same owner as Sziget (James Barton is Creamfields founder) and @So Sad Simon said that we'll have Calvin Harris at Sziget too, so let's wait and see what happens.  I'll keep my fingers crossed for RHCP.

Let's take a walk on memory lane

2014: 7 on 7 - went only through half of Calvin Harris, as it was too painful. Bonus points: lost both QOTSA and Placebo for bad time management;

2015: 3 on 7 - Robbie Williams, Florence and Alt J

2016: 5 on 7 

2018:  5 on 7, but left Lana half in the performance because I found her dull

2019: 1 on 1 (eheh) - but I guess I'd have done 5 on 7 (Ed Sheeran and Florence, plus Martin Garrix and Posty for the lulz). Funny fact: I had the tickets for the Florence day, but I lost the flight in the morning from Warsaw where I was and had to take a detour to Paris in order to get to the island without having to sell a kidney and eventually I arrived at midnight or so, so I lost the whole day until David August

Sziget does not have that terrible clashes, so I've ended seeing more headliners than I usually would have.

2014 - 6

2015 - 5

2016 - 4

2017 - 3

2018 - 5

2019 - 5

 

[dolevshelly]

2016: 5.5 of 8 (rihanna, sia, muse, david guetta, hardwell and half of the chem's because of the rain)

2018: 5 of 7 (kendrick, gorillaz, dua lipa, lana, mumford)

2019: 5 of 8(foo, ed, posty, florence and half of gerrix and 21p)

[Noeliam]

Bigger numbers than I thought! But I guess it's easier to watch a headliner at Sziget than.. Primavera or Glastonbury.

and it's nice, I would never pay to see a lot of the headliners I saw (like Korn, Robbie Williams...) but some of them were nice surprises.

[Mondo-kun]

For me:

2016: 6 on 7, left Manu Chao, wish I left Hardwell as well.

2018: 5 on 5, left two days early due to work, watched Shawn Mendes online next evening 😀

2019: 5 on 9, left Ed Sheeran, The 1975, Florence and Twenty One Pilots.

Ed Sheeran, 1975, Foos, Florence, Martin Garrix, 21p from a mile away

[Karlos12345]

Did they ever announce bands without a teaser? So should we get something today if they really going to announce tomorrow?

Slipknot play Budapest on February 4th. Still thinking that with their gap between August 1st and 7th they could be a possibility, especially concerning "lack of headliners".
