Sziget 2022

Firstly, let me say that I wouldn't wish facial paralysis on anyone and I hope he gets better soon.

Now that's out of the way, if Bieber does need recovery time and has to pull out of Sziget then there is only one comparable headliner IMHO and that's Harry Styles. Now, Harry plays Budapest one month earlier but that's sold out and he's free from beginning of August to 15th so he could do it and his popularity is unquestionnable.

Appreciate this is incredibly unlikely though.

But if Bieber does pull out then Sziget will have to refund all day ticket holders for that day and then resell a lot of tickets very quickly with a new headliner, and keep all 3 and 6 day ticket holders sweet (ie not just move Stromae to headliner).

Omg Harry Styles as a headliner that would be huge…

No one answered my question. I have a ticket for first 3 days and would like to change it to just day 1. Is it possible?

Bit of an over reaction on biebers condition, will be back doing live shows shortly. 

I used to work with someone who had Ramsay Hunt syndrome. Their paralysis lasted four years. 

That said, I'm sure Bieber will have the very best doctors sorting him out.

I really cant see Bieber making a commitment for sziget at this time so I believe he's out, I'm from Israel and a few years back a local famous actress had the same thing and she disappeared for around two years until she came back. also Bieber has a concert here in October and I thing I heard that it's canceled already, but I'll check it out to be sure

So, less than two months to go and I feel we've pretty much got the full line-up now.

Who are you aiming to see?

We have an:

A list (must see),

B list (will see if no clashes with A) and

C list (will take a look if none of A and B are playing).

All very geeky and we'll probably only end up seeing half of them! Plus we have three under-18s with us, hence the proliferation of pop acts (that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it!)

 

A

Arctic Monkeys

Alice Merton

Black Honey

Calvin Harris

Caribou

Dua Lipa

Jungle

KOL

Sam Fender

Tame Impala

 

B

Alfie Templeman

Anne-Marie

Bastille

Beabadoobee

Fontaines DC

Sigrid

Inhaler

Lewis Capaldi

Noga Erez

Palaye Royale

Role Model

Rufus Du Sol

 

C

Cleopatrick

Kensington

Lola Marsh

Milky Chance

Sevdaliza

Nova Twins

 

Plus, various tribute acts no doubt!

Who do you think could fill in for Bieber?

My guess is either Maneskin or Black Eyed Peas. Maneskin is a surprise that they're not at Sziget in the first place, although their calendar is a bit stuffed, they travel a lot, but a headliner place for Sziget could be tempting. While Black Eyed Peas are not really a hot topic, but they're in Belgium on the 6th, could come easily to Hungary on the 12th. 

Any other realistic ideas?

I'm really surprised no one has said Jack Harlow. he is huuuuge right now and would easily fit in the budget. and, correct me if I'm wrong, he is in Europe and free... I think he's the perfect replacement

The problem is he's not a headliner in other festivals either, according to other lineups, festival posters etc he's in the same hat as Glass Animals, Rufus Du Sol, Fontaines DC, Wolf Alice, etc. That's not enough to headline one of the biggest festivals in Europe, and super far from replacing a superstar like Bieber. That could only happen if this guy's going to be a subheadliner, and Stromae will be the headliner, but that definitely means a refund for Bieber fans and Sziget are definitely not in the financial position to do that.

Most likely scenario I see (unless Bieber all out cancels tour) is Sziget waiting out until beginning August to see what happens with JB then *maybe* find semi-large-ish replacement or bump Stromae to headline spot 

The problem is, they can't wait that long. The T&Cs for a one-day ticket would be a full refund as it's a significant change. Three and six day ticket holders would probably have to live with whatever change is made.

They will be looking for a replacement now and I'd suggest they need a decision by the end of June - how many t-shirts and cups etc do they print with the line-up on them? I know of a small festival in the UK (35,000 capacity) and their t-shirts are sent to print three weeks before the festival.

They can't have Bieber on them if he's not appearing so they need the new act in place, day tickets refunded and then a new campaign to sell tickets with the new headliner.

Bieber's fee is likely to be around one million euros. I'm sure they could get someone decent for that kind of money!

Harry styles is not possible btw. He needs to be in Canada the 15th. So he will only have two days in between. Wont happen looking at logistics and travelling. 

JB's date is 12 August at Sziget. I'd say Harry could easily play and make Canada on 15th without any issues.

Halsey could be replacement, both pop/R&B, they even have a song and performed together. 

Stormzy is not really headliner material outside UK (was listed as subheadliner for 2020 edition), while Dave is almost unknown in region

I have a feeling they'll end up promoting Stromae to headliner and book 1-2 mid sized acts for that day. They're on Tier 4 of the ticket release already and the refund rate won't be too bad this close.

@Sziget2022_Leaks Any news from your side? Ask your boss in the Sziget marketing department if he has any news 🙏😉
