Sziget 2020

[Matt86]

We all agree : Mad Cools line up is great. No doubt about it.

BUT ! ... there's no camping. And in my opinion, it is hard to call a music event a "festival" when there's no camping. Even if I know many of you guys wouldn't agree with me lol..

[thetime]

Is Mad Cool really that good this year though?

Very top heavy, headliner wise they have the big hitters. Over all though just the same as all festivals this year, not seen a great line up anywhere. 

I would say Roskilde is the strongest line up this year.

No camping is what's put me off the likes of mad cool and primavera.

Mad Cool has Live Nation backing, they pull almost every act touring Europe in July, like a vacuum cleaner. Sziget will never beat it, lineup wise (even though MC had very meh heads last year, the second, third and etc. tier is always very strong). But Sziget is better organized and its advantages are very well known. 5-6 decent acts a day and I’m good to go, personally.

So, which three acts that are around, available and possible do you hope are revealed in the next announcement?

I've got my fingers crossed for:

1. Biffy Clyro

2. Sam Fender

3. Royal Blood

Placebo, Nothing but Thieves, Royal Blood

I'd happily take Sam Fender, Supergrass and Nilufer Yanya.

frequency announces bigger bands on 12th, only electronic acts on 3rd

as the question appeared if eminem isn't too big for frequency, normally i would say yes. but for now the line up seems relatively cheap so far, though the 3 biggest acts by now could each headline a day. so it has to be bigger.

take this with a grain of salt but apparently a copywriter confirmed that billie eilish is doing sziget this year

Seeing Supergrass on Tuesday, can not wait as they are one of my faves.

Guess it would be technically possible if she has more Eastern Europe acts coming. She has a big gap after the UK shows. Although she has been ruled out several times by the leakers on this forum.

Is it her instead of Shawn Mendes or Eminem? She'd only be a headliner.

Just now, swelsbyuk said:

So she's not a friend or acquaintance of yours? Where have you picked this up from?

well basically this afternoon she tweeted that billie is coming and i wanted to check her credibility so i scrolled down A LOT on her twitter account and i've stumbled upon an article she wrote for her company last year. that's how i know here she works at. 

[Matt86]

I like Billie Eilish a lot, even if I think 3/4 of her songs don't fit a festival mood... but hey, i'd rather have her instead of shawn mendes lol.

But I remain very sceptical about this "info" ..

Getting her in the spot of 21 Pilots last year would be HUGE

Interestingly I also saw this account with the tweet “can’t wait for Billie Eilish to be announced for Sziget”. 
 

I was gonna screenshot it but the tweet is gone...

She also claims in one of her tweets that she works with the “best artists around the world”

It's an old tweet from 3 Feb 2019.

I think we can be certain that Billy Eilish will not play Sziget.
