Can't really agree. He was here with one album, since then 2 new successfull albums, MTV unpluged, Knewborth.. + Sziget goes more after UK audience. I said co-head, off course he alone is not enough in mainland 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Headliner .... lol I really like Lorde, my daughter saw her last year and said it was the best gig she's ever been to and she wasn't that much of a fan beforehand. I think she's a possible headliner with a very strong sub. That said, the venues she toured in UK last year were only 2,000 capacity so maybe she's the very strong sub to someone bigger.

On her website she's playing Boardmasters on 11th August with no other gigs four months either side of that date. I'm as confident as I possibly can be that she'll be at Sziget* with that amount of availability, it's just whether she's headliner or sub. *Which almost certainly means she won't be 😉 Edited February 22, 2023 by swelsbyuk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt86 Posted February 22, 2023 Report Share Posted February 22, 2023 if LORDE is here, she'll be as a sub. not headliner. As you said, she performs in "medium size areas" in Europe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Primavera 2022 had 10, 11, 12 headliners ? come on lol And I consider lolla stockholm way smaller than sziget... really, having Florence + Lorde as headliners the same year would be a cheap edition. For now ,only Billie Eilish can be consider as "indisputable" headliner... last years, no one would argue with foo fighters, ed sheeran, dua lipa or arctic monkeys being headliners.. so yes, I'm still waiting for ,at least, one big name; And Lorde clearly isn't. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s a lack of headliners this year and some festivals had really problems to get the right headliners. Also most of the headliners you see touring in Europe this year, was already touring heavily last year. That’s why Rock Werchter repeated Red Hot Chili Peppers and Rock am Ring had to get exclusive deal with Foo Fighters (but they nearly ended up with Rise Against and Limp Bizkit as headliners at one point). Sziget isn’t such powerhouse tho. They rarely get these exclusive ‘one-off’ deals and I think it will be even harder to get one now when they’re struggling financially a little bit. Even in their best years before Covid, they had smaller headliners, like The 1975 or The National in 2019, who are maybe even smaller names than Lorde in mainland Europe.

Guys… Well it looks like they were right so guns and roses ruled out.

swelsbyuk Posted February 25, 2023 Report Share Posted February 25, 2023 (edited) Reading and Leeds announcing "70 new names next week" so might give us a better guide of what to expect. All of their headliners are already announced though so it sadly won't give us a guide on that.
