At least 😉

May Muse? Would love that... Paul Kalkbrenner would be great too... And some Indie Stuff, Future Islands & Men I Trust, f.e... Last year, this kind of sound was missing.

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

Great to know we're missing at least one big rock headliner!

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 🤷🏼‍♂️ ....

It’s not Muse

G'n'R announced yesterday first concert for next year. End of June in London. So they are a possibility. More so because they never performed on Sziget.

@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?

any info ? 'cause they're headlining R&L, and Sziget is missing a rock headline act so ...

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.

How about Twenty One Pilots or Biffy Clyro?

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.

I would LOVE McR lol, and fyi , a lot of 20 years old know McR, I've been to their show in Paris last June, daaamn I couldn't believe my eyes, so many 20 years old knowing them ! 😮 They're unique in their genre ^^

I forgot about Biffy lol, shame on me.. that woud be a great booking !

[activean]

Any chance to avoid booking fee? 15€ for every ticket is a lot😶
