Personally agree with prediction but possibly the chainsmokers instead of armin Van buuren? Think major lazer could definitely be there as well

Think female headliner will be Taylor swift, rather than Billie.

Taylor Swift is in the US in August, so I think she won't come to Sziget this year 🤷🏼‍♂️

Just it seems to me that Taylor is more "available" on the circuit this year than Billie.. Billie seems to only be doing a few shows from what I've heard whereas Taylor seems to be the big name of the year and is headlining big festivals. (Glasto, opener etc)

Personally think would make more sense for them to book her given that billie was kind of the hit of last season, so booking her would kind of make them a step behind the current trend in my opinion (to be honest though Sziget just seem a step behind this year in general, lets see if they have anything special up their sleeves)

Originally I thought Coldplay were a contender however judging by the progress we have made determining szigets line up so far this year (aka none) I definitely think they are ruled out at this point. If they had a name as big as Coldplay, I reckon it would have been pushed out straight away (like ed Sheeran was).

----

I reckon R&L will be sharing the headliners with sziget as with last year. I would reckon the crossover would be:

Liam Gallagher/Foals coheadline

Eminem

The Killers

Then Sziget will have 4 more of its own headliners, including the supposed 2 EDM acts, Taylor swift and Shawn Mendes.

Don't think that forms a particularly strong line up personally though.

Are those meant to be the R&L headliners as literally none of those are supposedly right or even rumoured really (except LG)

Might be a little of a pain in the butt buuuuuut: anybody willing to make a mega-recap of what are the talked names (headliners and non-headliners), now that we have a bigger (yet blurry) picture of the august scene?

I usually opt to do this myself, but this time I am really busy and can't do...

 

Thanks ❤️

    • A question has crossed my (questionable) mind;   Has the size of the Green Fields remained the same as other areas have expanded / been added on to, since say, 2014 (the last time that I attended)? Are they 'lost' within, or well attended?    That's actually two questions. The second one just slipped in at the end by taking advantage of my lack of means to stop it.    
    • I'd say the same about Kylie.    Annie would be awesome, Duran not so much, and on the issue of them wanting a beanie slot, that probably rules out a fair few others who I think would fit the bill very well... and are legitimately more entitled to a headline, and/or too expensive.   Was just about to suggest Chaka Khan, but see @Gnomicide has beat me to it!    What about someone like Bryan Ferry?
    • It's certainly gone more that way, but then they went completely in the opposite direction and had Cat Stevens.
    • Chaka can, or Chaka can't?
