I'm 100% he's about to announce a/some solo date in Italy since all organizers began to tease it tonight (an example from live nation italy), so I guess he'll announce even more soon this is what we have so far : (but of course, mores' about to come, thats not enough lol) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What sort of interest does he command in Europe? Is he likely to be headliner, co-headliner or sub? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the rest of Europe, I would say at least co-head (in 2014 at Sziget, the A38 was full, people couldn't get in anymore so if he is here in 2022, he'll be on the mainstage, 100% sure) He'll also be at Coachella, we will see where on the line up, it can give you an idea ^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coachella plaves every European act in very small font if they are not that big in the United States. In 2015 Stromae was on the third line in Coachella while he was the headliner in Rock Werchter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misterplow Posted October 26, 2021 Report Share Posted October 26, 2021 Can totally see Stromae playing Glastonbury as well. Excellent act by the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicklord Posted October 26, 2021 Report Share Posted October 26, 2021 Stromae is amazing live. I watched him in 2014 as well and it was a huge party I'd watch/listen to this if you don't know him: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
On The Blend Posted October 26, 2021 Report Share Posted October 26, 2021 Thought I'd throw some hopes out there and then people can shoot them down if it turns out that they're not going to happen.

iamdebrii Posted October 26, 2021 Report Share Posted October 26, 2021 Coldplay just added some concert dates and will be in Belgium on August 9 and in UK from August 12-20 - I think that pretty much rules them out no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say this is reversed Biffy Clyro situation (huge in the UK but playing small clubs or early festival spots in mainland Europe). 14 minutes ago, gfa said: I hadn't heard of him except in here (obviously know alor en danse but thought he was a one hit wonder to be honest) Papaoutai?

Amanzi Posted October 27, 2021 Report Share Posted October 27, 2021 Can anyone make an educated guess as to when tickets will be on general sale? And how likely I'd be to get tickets? Looking to get a couple for a present. I was thinking of getting FIB tickets as a backup. They go on sale 10 November so if Sziget tickets aren't on sale by then I'm not sure what to do.

Also, suspect they'll go on sale around the same time as FIB. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So people can choose when to come if they don't take the 6 days pass. Soooo I would say 10th of November is a reasonnable guess ! ^^ But I'm sure we'll have names before that, if not this week , the first of November. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
