I think we are missing a rap headliner also 🤷🏼‍♂️

Not really huge fan of rap or hip-hop, but I would like to see Tyler, the Creator again Post Malone or Kendrick Lamar 🙃

I'm pretty sure Leaks' "at least" meant we are missing two rock headliners
Dua>Billie, Bieber>Dragons, Harris>Guetta, TameImpala>Florence and now we're missing Monkeys and KOL's replacements

I don't think there has to be the same set of genres/headliners as the last year. In 2017/18/19 we had a rap headliner but didn't 2022. Also there was 1 pop headliner in 2019 but 2 in 2022 🤷🏼‍♂️ ....

@Sziget2023_Leaks Is it a conscious thing from Sziget to have less rap music this year and last year or just difficulty of booking? I'm still hopeful for some decent hiphop names in the undercard but I think it's weird that there is practically zero hiphop in the first list of names. There are 6-7 names I like in this lineup so far but it desperately needs some hiphop imo. Do you think we will get that?

Do we know about Green Day for R&L all but confirmed? 

Someone on the R&L forum is saying that MCR are now in and someone dropped out, which is likely Green Day

There‘s so much more to come, don’t worry.

Any of RHCP, Blur, Green Day, MCR, blink-182, Faith No More, Eagles of Death Metal, SOAD/Serj Tankian, Paramore, The Strokes, QOTSA, Weezer, U2, Metallica, Placebo, RATM would make me happy. 😁

He already ruled out The Strokes in one of his other posts 😭 They're in Spain at the end of August so not sure what the reason is.

Maybe ruled out only for the first announcement 😛

I think most rock bands that could headline Sziget are at least 15-20 years old. 😁

Rock headliner slot is still in negotiations with bands from the UK and the US as well. Can’t give you anything specific rn so don’t get your hopes up just yet. 

thanks for this 😉 !

Being a rock-metal fan, I've been thinking a lot about this slot, and thought Red Hot Chili Peppers or Green Day would perfectly fit (EVERYONE know some songs of those 2 bands, even the non-rock fans).

Since then, I found out RHCP are doing June-July fests' , and Green Day is busy with new album, and MIGHT have pulled out from R&L...

So of course the UK bands would be "easier" to book : Placebo..? The Cure ..? Royal Blood ..? (I consider Blur as a Pop band) ; but if Sziget is also trying US bands, my money remains on Green Day, My Chemical Romance or Pearl Jam (considering Guns & Roses are out of reach, since they're in Europe in June already).

I really hope it isn't MCR. They might have a big fan base but most Sziget-goers were still in primary school when MCR last released an album. 

A double-header of Biffy Clyro and Royal Blood would suit me down to the ground if some of the bigger names are unavailable or too expensive.

    • How much is Burnham's success down to Manchester getting a shitton of investment for public transport infrastructure?   There's no doubt he did the work, but the money dumped into Manchester for him to achieve that was huge - the most of any infrastructure project outside London ever. Did that need a mayor, or just the money?
    • Sounds good tbh. 
    • Bristol was the only city in 2012 that voted for a mayor. We had a local independent who was popular, then Marvin Rees won and was so corrupt that Bristol voted to get rid of the position - having just had the WECA mayor position put in place as well.
    • They built a watering system and have been watering the island for the past few weeks to reduce dust, but given the current drought, there will still be dust. They will cover twice as much ground around the main stage with those plastic panels as they did before. They couldn't book Gogol Bordello because the singer was afraid the government would allow Russian security services to capture him if he entered the country. They didn't have much room to be selective about artists. They booked whoever they could get. This year's Sziget will be only about 50% of his original vision. He wanted a dedicated rock stage. They are preparing for a loss of 1.5 billion HUF this year. For some reason, student tickets are not selling in the numbers they had expected. He said that when he talks about the lineup being less important, he doesn't mean Sziget should have a weaker lineup than Primavera. Rather, it should have a similarly strong lineup combined with much more non-musical programming, so people from abroad come here to see the same artists but have a completely different overall experience. He didn't miss Sziget and originally wanted to spend no more than two days a week dealing with it, but now he's working on it full-time and has handed over control of the rest of his businesses.  
    • Well the point seems to be 22.7% turn out doesn't suggest the majority are rushing out to support the mayoral system.
