something like Maroon 5 or Shakira

I would prefer something like Billie Eilish, Coldplay, No Doubt/Gwen Stefani, Lady Gaga, Adele or Beyoncé instead of those. I think they're way better in terms of quality.

Also do you think that Lil Nas X would be a good replacement for Eminem as the rap headliner act? 🤔 I think that Eminem won't play at Sziget this year, but who knows...

Lil Nas X is seen as too much of a novelty act, he would work alongside another rapper but not standalone imo. Theres plenty of other rappers about instead of Eminem and Lil Nas X.

it's not about "who we would prefer", I gave those 2 names because it's POP, and possible 'cause they are performing in 2022.

We already know that Eillish and Coldplay aren't possible this year, and there's no sign of Beyonce, and No Doubt performiing.

I heard Adele is way too expensive (don't know why...  :/), and Lady Gaga well, why not, she's suppose to be in Europe for a very few dates..

But of course, any of these acts would be a huge surprise.

It'll be two months tomorrow since the first announcement was made. I'd like to think we are edging towards the next one. I predict the week commencing 15 Feb.

Actually, that week commences on 14 Feb 😉

Dre, Eminem, Kendrick etc play the Superbowl the day before so potential for announcement of a mega-signing?

I don’t think we can take much from the when we were young festival. They may pull a surprise out the bag and make a change to some off the line up as it is getting a bit the same as 2018. I still expect some if not all  from Biffy Clyro, Placebo, Imagine Dragons, Tame Impala, Calvin Harris, Mabel, Stormzy , Glass Animals. You could almost just pick any act from Broad masters, Leeds, Festival Cabaret Vert. I think Leaks said that Foals were also in the running so hopefully we will find out soon. Others could be Jamie XX, Weekend or Justin Bieber , Halsey, Kasabian, Rap Act ?  possibly Keane, Madness or Snow Patrol,   I was expecting some sort off announcement soon but with the way the world is they maybe holding back. . I see Wolf Alice are backing up Harry Styles in Budapest so I don’t think they will be back but I would love to see them back as I missed them before.

Would love all of those except Imagine Dragons. I'd be horrified if they appeared as it would undoubtedly be as headliner and that would be a major waste of a headline slot.

I think Denzel Curry will be a great rap act, he was announced for 2020, I hope they reconfirm him. He's one of the best rappers out right now and puts out an excellent show.

Seeing that he was announced last time and has a couple of UK dates in August I think he'll most likely be there.

 

Experiencing 'Ultimate' live at A38 would be quite a sight to see

We booked for Sziget today (13th-15th). Not a clue what to expect but the current line up looks decent and have heard good things about the general experience. May need to have a dig through this thread!

You will love it

Almost ten weeks since the last announcement. Any upcoming news @Sziget2022_Leaks?

I'm starting to get bored of my Sziget 2022 playlist! Needs some new acts on there.

That said, I've 'discovered' Little Simz and really enjoying her most recent album, but a lot of the lesser-known acts aren't really doing it for me and there's only so much KOL I can listen to!

'He' definitely has, as they gave out clues in the days before the 23 November announcement.    

However, all that was lost when the forums went down over Christmas and new year.

That said, they might not have been on since then!

They definitely haven't been online since the forum resurrection. Will probably be back when the announcement is imminent.

do you think we'll get her?

it can be a hugh wildcard, no?

that would be a huge book IMO, but with already Dua Lipa as a female headliner..? not so sure.. but I'd like it ^^

Would it be a huge book? Is she still big enough to headline? She doesn't seem to have bothered the charts in the past decade or so.

In my view (only) she's no longer big enough to headline but too big to support, which puts her in a bit of limbo, although the timing sits perfectly for Sziget with her being in UK from 2 to 6 August.

I may well be wrong about her status, she might still be huge across Europe and it's passed me by. I guess if she's booked it could really only be as a headliner (or co-head with someone bigger like 21P and Foos in 2019).

Christina and Lady Gaga for battle of the divas?

I cant see her heading but the date could match in with her playing. I am not sure how big she is over there but I dont think she is a huge pull for the Festival as BillyBB mentioned . Stanger things have happened.  I do think another female could headline but someone different like Lorde/Florence but not another Pop Act. 

KOL, AM, DUA and a DJ- Calvin or David Guetta and that leaves 2 head line acts to come. I can see something from 2 out of the 3 from and act like Major Lazer or something like that for one night at the weekend and a possible rap act but I just cant see how it could be for the last act. Also possibly a male Pop act to fill one off the last so called Headliners

idk

i guess a day with stromae -> christina is pretty strong.

they can put some rock band at the a38 or something and everyone will be happy.

 

and another thing, for me peraonaly i really like that one day with an headliner i dont like so i can go see the circus and other stages. so even due id go watch christina, i guess even a "bad" headliner isn't the worst thing at sziget.

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
    • Yup and they aren't cheap   Glastonbury is different though, it's a place that will pack out for rarities they don't usually see. Download strictly speaking shouldn't be the strangest place for Avril to pop up of she had been a touring artist of longer times over the years.   Avril and GC would get the same billing for me and GC are selling arenas out quicker than Avril sold Ally Pally. Bearing in mind she'd pnly done soem Brixton dates before.
    • Avril gets above GC on rarity (see Cypress Hill this year). She drew in something like 70,000 at Glastonbury, so much so that they had to close the field off. I’d wager that she would get the biggest crowd of the entire weekend if she was to play DL.
