3 PM UK time is 10 AM in New York & Ontario (where The Strokes & Shawn Mendes are from) and 9 AM in Nashville (KoL), so I guess it's plausible.

Where did this idea that it's 3pm come from?

Most festivals announce at 9am or noon, it seems a bit late at 3pm.

I'm not aware that the announcement is tying in with any other announcements (like RATM / Rock en Seine / world tour announcement on Monday).

Appreciate things will be different on Monday if the Eminem rumours are true.

A hint from a leaker a couple of pages ago. Doesn’t necessarily should be tied-in with anything, because Eminem comes on later, as it appears.

I, stupidly, tried to watch that and obviously didn't understand a word!

So, 70 names today. Does he say anything else worth knowing?

He seems happy about the Khalid leak, and said that the lineup will be a pleasant surprise for many but of course he didn't spoil anything. After watching this I'm not quite sure they had to delay the announcement or they just wanted to announce it later because getting the headliners was hard this year (he admitted it was difficult).

okay @glavakpeti you were faster

video recap:

- he said that the ticket sales are going well (wouldnt say otherwise ofc)

- they are a bit surprised how much shit they get on social media on every post because of the lineup, as last year they announced the first names on the 22nd of january and now its not so much later

- 70 names are coming

- these are hard times in terms of booking names (many festivals, less headliners, acts on tour than needed)

- they said there would be names 'tomorrow' - but the video was uploaded on monday, so its weird

Ticket sales are actually doing fine. 

Most people who love Sziget will buy their tickets regardless of how the line-up will end up.

I wonder which headliner they'll hold back today to announce with Eminem? My guess is Major Lazer.

I'd go with Dua Lipa (or whoever she is) and Shawn Mendes. The first because it is legitimate to think that the contract is not sealed yet, the second because, according to Leaks, will have daily tickets increased in price.

This announcement won't require quality, the quantity should be enough, and if my analysis is correct, having two rock headliners (KoL and The Strokes?) and two EDM headliners (Calvin Harris and Major Lazer?) will satisfy a little both the opposite poles of goers

There will be only one because @Sziget2020_Leaks already said that today we will get 5 headliners.

Actually I think that Eminem will be announced separately maybe next week without any further acts, meanwhile the last headliner will be announced in March + the remaining acts. Of course, this is only if Sziget didn't change their plans.

Where does this 3pm come from? Sziget usually announces at 11AM @ CET. (yet it's possible if one of the bigger acts is planning to announces its tour at 3pm, but all of the leaks have some announced dates already. )

    • i like em. Never seen em. Wont shell out the £150-odd they'd want for their own tickets, though.  But i agree with everyone else here, i cant see em at glastonbury, and i'd struggle to see where they'd headline somewhere else - yer smaller festivals wont be able to afford them, and the bigger ones just wouldnt see em as relevant. They should do Bearded Theory, itd be amazing! (but wont happen, i know)
    • I'm hoping for this to turn up on TFG or similar as I have noticed this too. Fingers crossed 🙂
    • For those who have been to Roskilde before, what is it like for getting a phone signal? To my disappointment, they won't be showing any football matches anywhere so I'm thinking of taking my laptop and trying to hotspot the match on my phone data.   I've had success with this in the past, but never at such a big festival and I've never been to Denmark so not sure how viable this plan is!
    • This Iron maiden thingo at Knebworth seems like its going to be Blue Light bound, i dont think ive ever known another gig to be so pushed on social media and via email! I've been emailed at least five times a week for the last couple of months.    ive entered the ballot for VIP tickets via blue light, and im sure they're going to email me with a 'hey! you didnt win, but as a special thanks here's some half price tickets, fill yer boots' offer in due course - wish there was a way of seeing how many tickets are sold, itd be fascinating reading 
    • Bits was absolutely massive. What was it? Three or four stages plus Soho House plus a beach plus would be people transitioning between the stages plus in the chillout areas.   No way was there only 1,000 people in it. When I saw Sofia Kourtesis there it felt like there were just that number watching here alone.
