Sziget 2022

[swelsbyuk]

Think this probably counts out Gang of Youths and Arlo Parks (who is also in Sydney on 13 August).

I know we've mentioned that it's much easier for DJs to go from one side of the world to the other... but Diplo is in Florida smack bang in the middle of Sziget. Makes it a bit difficult for Major Lazer to be there no?

I believe Dua Lipa is headlining on the Wednesday at Sziget, KOL the Thursday and AM on the Monday. 

If I'm right, I'd say that pretty much rules out Major Lazer as they could only do the Friday or Sunday if Diplo is in Miami on the Saturday. And, with a 12 hour flight time, I can't imagine him wanting to do that commute!

It feels like good news, until you realise we might be getting Bieber instead! Lol

That is them out then.

How are we doing now?

Calvin Harris

pop headliner

Tama Impala

[swelsbyuk]

Think pretty much all of these (who aren't already announced) can be discounted for one reason or another.

I think those two are nailed on, along with Anne-Marie and, more than likely, Sam Fender.

Other strong candidates are:

Fever 333 (announced last time and playing nearby festivals at the time of Sziget)

Glass Animals (announced last time and Leaks 'liked' the glass animals photo posted earlier in the week)

Other possibles based on location and availability and Sziget-feels:

Maneskin

Future Islands

Nothing But Thieves

Michael Kiwanuka

First Aid Kit

King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard

Fred again..

and literally dozens of others! Lol

I really hope not but can't see where he'd play tbh if all others guesses are correct. You'd assume that he would expect to, at least, be a sub - but who for?

Because you don’t say your deepest nightmares out loud! 😢😢😢

[Dutchfestivaladdict]

No to be honest…

I don’t see BTS is around, Bieber is around and has a big gap during SZiget dates and I think there is much more audience for Bieber. I know K Pop is very popular but I can’t imagine SZiget letting BTS headline SZiget. I also heard they are very expensive zzz

[Dutchfestivaladdict]

if this is going to headline SZiget I am going straight to the bar …drink a lot and hope I wake up the next day not hearing anything of BTS. I am a big fan of every kind of music but I just can’t bear this (sorry if I make fans angry now)

[Matt86]

OMFG why do they need to be 14 in this band ..? they like Butter, good for them

I would prefer that to be honest.

Just did some research the cheapest tickets where in Amsterdam 85 euros and most expensive ones (VIP tickets excluded ) 210 euros. This band asks a lot of money I hope with all of my heart that SZiget didn’t book them.

[Dutchfestivaladdict]

I am so happy when it’s Tuesday and I know the names. Now let’s also hope that Russia won’t have invaded Ukraine then.
