Totally different festivals, opener is more in line with werchter.

I've always looked at open'er, the shocking alcohol policy in the arena puts me off and kills the festival vibe and spirit. 

i never went to that festival for that reason ... not being able to drink beer during concerts is absurd

Unfortunately, this is due to national regulations. Opener can't do anything about it.

Poles said it's the same (or even worse) at another Polish festivals, it's a bit of a shame. I have to say that after initial shock our pack kinda got used to it. Though it still came as a surprise during our other visits at Open'er.  

As weird as it is, I wouldn't say it kills the festival vibe. Comparing to Sziget Open'er is way more focused on music than on "experience". And the atmosphere at the festival is very nice, even though surely less unique that on the island.

So, when can we reasonably expect the next announcement?

Next week, it'll be early April, people have money again... yep,  my bet is on next week 🙂

Is Liam Gallagher a realistic option?

I hope so, but I don't expect so. Think upcoming names will all be considerably smaller than Liam.

[activean]

I would expect announcement more somewhere in the middle of April, when the festival is 4 months away, if even not later. The daily splits are up, tickets are selling... no need to hurry IMO. Also, they were often teasing or replying to comments with "lineup soon", can't see any of these now.

I agree Liam is probably not realistic, i'm kind of putting my hopes up for Glass animals at this point. First aid kit, Girl in red, Aurora, Wet leg, Gayle are some of the names touring around at the time i'm hoping for that may be realistic

[dolevshelly]

maybe they'll give us elrow or europe stage names first?

[Davidoff]

I think there is still a half decent name coming on the first night but as much as I would Liam I can't see it. 

We should know by mid April who the last names are.

looks like it could be liam

[FestivaIFan]

In 2018 Liam was also a subheadliner for Dua Lipa, if i remember correctly. Maybe this will happen again?

If not Liam, I'd happily take Editors or Future Islands instead.

Wouldn't mind The Avalanches either. Liam would indeed be amazing.

[Davidoff]

Liam was in the same night and I missed wolf Alice in the tent as they were stuck on at the same time.  I just thought the same acts the same nights made me think it would not be him but you can't rule him out. 

Fingers crossed for him and wolf Alice but not the same night again 😂😂😂

New names for Balaton are coming tomorrow, I hope we will get new names for Sziget next week then 🤞

Any chance of Paolo Nutini?

He's doing early summer it seems so far (TRNSMT, Glastonbury TBA and a show glastonbury thursday). Given his hiatus I can't see him being too well known in Hungary - already in the UK he gets far far bigger slots in Scotland.

Probably a no but who knows 🙂

Just saw he’d been announced for Lollapalooza Berlin which is September and he’s been drip feeding show announcements over the last few weeks. Thought it may coincide if we’re due new names soon, could be the missing sub headliner?

Possibly then - given his Lolla Berlin slot he definitely won't be co-headlining though. 6th down there which is a slot below Anne Marie who looks to be subbing Tame Impala on the Sunday.

Maybe The Chemical Brothers could be added? The lineup looks strong enough to me that no extra headliners will be announced to be honest.

In 2019 we've got our last 3 names on 24th April. In the previous years it was in May, so I believe we'll still have to wait.

But I'm assuming we have at least two more announcements to come?

Plenty of announcements I would of thought, what with the collesium/party arena/tribute/urban stage to come and many others.

Interesting…

ASAP Rocky was planned to perform as sub headliner for Firenze Rocks along with Red hot Chili Peppers. Suddenly he cancelled. Wasn’t ASAP Rocky also booked for SZiget in 2019?
