So out of this pack of bands which one was the 'big name' the late Summer festivals were waiting for?

None. Lowlands usually announce this late (for example 30/1 last year). I guess we are still waiting...

Thanks, I didn't know that. Btw a few years back Sziget announced usually this late too. Like Robbie Williams was (I think) the first name in that year and he was announced in the last first week of January February.

Maybe they didn't want to announce it yet or they don't have it!

I think there is one but they can't announce it yet.

In the same way that they had a big name last year (Ed) and he wanted to announce early, this year's seems to want to announce late.

Reading and Leeds also haven't announced. I assume they both have the same headliner lined up.

To hit both demographics I would think it's probably Eminem or, maybe, RATM.

If the leaker is telling the truth, Chemical Brothers could easily be the second EDM headliner. Would happily take them and the festival does have history with Chems.

If the leaker is true, first I'm gonna hug him with the warmest hug ever, than I'm gonna slap him for saying that Chems are EDM.

Anyway, can we read anything in this Lowland's announcement?

Alot of you might remember me from last year, but I know 3 of the main headliners...

I'll bite. Clues?

Unless one of them is Lana. In which case, you can keep that info to yourself!

Leaked a few from 2018 & 2019 on this forum, not ready just quite yet for 2020. Soon...

Of course we remember you, you always had the right leaks.

I would be more excited if I see RHCP instead of Eminem. And if they both will play Sziget, it's even better... I won't really care if they'll put 3 EDM headliners. :D

it is not a leak if nothing is said ... ;) at best it's a right guess, and good guesses are quite easy when you wait until 3-4 days before official announcement..

Chunkychips leaked lots of names for Sziget 2018, when we also had no idea who'll join the lineup. :P Here's an example:

    • How much is Burnham's success down to Manchester getting a shitton of investment for public transport infrastructure?   There's no doubt he did the work, but the money dumped into Manchester for him to achieve that was huge - the most of any infrastructure project outside London ever. Did that need a mayor, or just the money?
    • Sounds good tbh. 
    • Bristol was the only city in 2012 that voted for a mayor. We had a local independent who was popular, then Marvin Rees won and was so corrupt that Bristol voted to get rid of the position - having just had the WECA mayor position put in place as well.
    • They built a watering system and have been watering the island for the past few weeks to reduce dust, but given the current drought, there will still be dust. They will cover twice as much ground around the main stage with those plastic panels as they did before. They couldn't book Gogol Bordello because the singer was afraid the government would allow Russian security services to capture him if he entered the country. They didn't have much room to be selective about artists. They booked whoever they could get. This year's Sziget will be only about 50% of his original vision. He wanted a dedicated rock stage. They are preparing for a loss of 1.5 billion HUF this year. For some reason, student tickets are not selling in the numbers they had expected. He said that when he talks about the lineup being less important, he doesn't mean Sziget should have a weaker lineup than Primavera. Rather, it should have a similarly strong lineup combined with much more non-musical programming, so people from abroad come here to see the same artists but have a completely different overall experience. He didn't miss Sziget and originally wanted to spend no more than two days a week dealing with it, but now he's working on it full-time and has handed over control of the rest of his businesses.  
    • Well the point seems to be 22.7% turn out doesn't suggest the majority are rushing out to support the mayoral system.
