Subs can be totally unrelated to the main act, I've seen Billy Talent support Pink, or Sum41 subbing Snoop Dog back in the day, etc. Placebo is not that far from Billie Eilish.

I've seen pink support rammstein.

Same. I was there, insane day/weekend. Even if it was like a co-headline as they both play a long set (shorted for Rammstein due to incident on stage). See Pixies sub for SlipKnot on a festival like Cabaret Vert last Summer was something too...

A bit of chatter on the Mad Cool page about these youngster being a potential name for Sziget this year. Thoughts?

So far they only have a June date in the UK announced. Heavily rumoured for Glasto the week before. Some more rumours for the July festivals, but nothing yet for August. Based on all of the above I think they are likely to announce some more June/July dates in EU, much less likely for August.

GNR potential shows are Firenze Rocks, Graspop, Mad Cool, Vigo, Tel-Aviv, Landgraaf, Glasgow, Poland…and already confirmed BST (officially) & Glasto (unofficially). That’s all I found on festileaks, mygnr and other media.

No one ever mentioned Hungary. And they probably won’t tour from mid-June till mid-August.

BUDAPEST, HUNGARYJUL19WED2023Puskas Ferenc 

On Sale Soon

[Davidoff]

They will be playing Budapest so they will not be at the festival. 

Still to be officially announced. 

[SweetJesus]

Source? Where did you get that info?

[Davidoff]

[Davidoff]

It's on a few sites, looks like it would suit the time to play June - July. There is talk they will be at Glastonbury, Glasgow the week before and then London. 

Looks genuine to me 

[swelsbyuk]

Good news - great band but Axl's vocals are gone baby gone.

announced today

[Gloch]

Lime Cordiale and Tom Grennan would be two great additions to Sziget in my eyes!

[swelsbyuk]

The question is......are there any summer festivals where Florence isn't playing?

😉

The Killers? (Pukkelpop)

I did say that its not official and its on another few sites so Viagogo is as good enough for me.  

 

Leaks said not to the Killers but they would be a great addition and fit right in. Probably cheaper that some acts as well.  I seen Tom Grennan a few years ago at the festival and he was really good. I think it was during the day and in the A38.

The ones she played last year😉

Seems like they're doing a european festival tour instead of an arena tour.

Kid Francescoli was one of the best concerts from last years Sziget. Hope to see them again on Main Stage 😎

? The Killers is official for Pukkelpop, the same day as Florence + The Machine.. which means one of them isn't headline material for Pukkelpop lol. So if Sziget gets The Kilers as a headliner , that would be... well... a disappointment.

And for now, The Killers and The Strokes seems to be the strongest Rock options for the 2 missing headline spots.

[Archi]

The Killers are the main headliner. Not a surprise Florence And The Machines are not headliner material anymore (I'm surprised she's ever been). Her headliner show announced on Werchter field last year was a big fail. Being sub at Pukkelpop is the best she can have. It wouldn't be a shame to see The Killers headliner at Sziget, don't see the problem here... In 2022, they had boring Arctic Monkeys and overrated Kings Of Leon as rock headliners. 

[swelsbyuk]

Just noticed that Caberet Vert did a line-up announcement earlier in the week. Really hope we get Chemical Brothers.

when you know and like their music, these artists aren't boring. The musicians play very well, no mistakes, unlike some smaller bands. It's a matter of taste ^^

I'd like to see Sziget getting a name unannounced so far, almost an exclusivity. Killers and Strokes are good, BUT ... the line up wouldn't be great. Just good. I know that bands like Ghost and Avenged Sevenfold aren't "Szigetable" anymore lol, but still, I'm expecting a surprise.

Perhaps this is why Sziget appears to be having a 'Brits day' with Foals and Sam Fender on before her. That line-up would fill stadiums in the UK.
