Is there any chance to have The Human League and/or Natalie Imbruglia at Sziget, what do you think? They're playing a festival in Belgium in August.

The Human League would be interesting in A38 spot as they had Goo Goo Dolls few years ago.

You are sleeping on the Village People, man

20th February, still no leaks? 😞

Would you prefer The Strokes or Guns & Roses ? 😉 I still hope Green Day will finally pop up, but... 😕

And in the names i've seen on other fests', I'd take Turnstile, Aurora, Wet leg, Rina Sawayama, Shaka Ponk, Aime Simone, and ROBIN SCHULZ of course !

Fall Out Boy's tour dates seem to line them up for a potential one-off visit to Europe. Their diary is empty between 6 August and 19 August and they're not playing Hungary during their visit to Europe in Oct/Nov.

FOB are one of those weird acts who I'd class as too big to sub and not big enough to headline anymore.

They’re not coming to Europe only to play Sziget… impossible.

are blur still an option or are they out of the picture now

The headliners are missing for Sunday 13th and Monday 14th.

Unfortunately, Blur are headlining Flow Festival in Helsinki on the 13th, which means they could only headline on the 14th. The two cities are 1,000 miles apart so would require a significant overnight flight to get them to Budapest. Sadly, I can't see it happening.  

But I hope I'm wrong.

true but they are playing oya fest in norway on the 10th and way out west in sweden on the 11th which is an hour flight away. so it does show they are playing some shows in different countries back to back

They won't be flying from Oslo (Oya) to Gothenburg (Way Out West) as it's only 3 hours drive. Well, maybe Damon and the boys will fly over but most of their equipment and production will be moved by trucks.

Also, you have to consider the fact that headliners usually do soundchecks and major preparations in the morning, which mean they would have to get most their stuff from Helsinki to Budapest in less than 12 hours. That's a logistical nightmare and would be quite expensive.

And Liam. Wouldn't rule him out to co-head with someone, The Strokes, for example. Not many strong rock headliners left available. 

He's not a new addition tho. Boardmasters announced him and Florence back in November. Don't see any reason why would Sziget keep him for next announcement unless he's a plan B of course.

Lorde announced for Boardmasters... that is the headliner Sziget is waiting for, I think.

Exactly what I thought when I saw their lineup too.

Liam played here in 2018 as a sub and didn't do anything since then that would make him more popular than he was 5 years ago.

    • Muse will be about but the issue with Muse is that they’ll have the pick of doing IOW, BST, Glasto, R&L or big parks/stadiums.

    • Not sure what this means for 2027 but it looks like Holt Farm's website and email are both now inactive and unavailable.   It'll be a shame if they don't operate for 2027 as it was an excellent alternative to the other off-site offerings.   Fingers crossed they're just enjoying their downtime 🤞
    • Deftones, Blink, Muse?   Deftones as the next bump up makes all the sense, Blink as the "band that has never played before" and round out with Muse as its been a long time since they headlined and they have a new album coming which seems on the heavier side from the singles so far.   I could see Muse do their own tour to be fair, maybe MCR in their place? Could also see Deftones switched out for Slipknot/SOAD depending on who is about.
    • I have no issue with the Primavera crowd in most respects. They’re always friendly, respectful and no hint that there could be trouble at any point.   However…the talking is horrific here. The xx was pretty much ruined for me due to people having conversations with their mates the whole way through. Noticed it from all different nationalities across the weekend…English, Irish, Spanish etc. There seems to be no understanding of the nuances of when it’s okay to talk and when it isn’t. And obviously the sound being quiet at a lot of spots on the main stages exacerbates the issue. That alone has made me reconsider whether I will be coming back, it would probably take a lineup as good as this year (unlikely)
