Sziget 2023

I'm still surprised that you don't consider Lorde or Macklemore big enough to headline Sziget, and they need a strong subliner. 

Macklemore has 25 millions listeners, he headlined a lot of important music festivals, and Lorde has 18M. They are both popular, they can deliver a nice headliner show. They are more headliners to me than Florence + The Machine or Kings of Leon (and more fun)

(Don't make me come back with Ava Max 31M/month versus Lorde 18M/month lol...and still, I can't imagine one of them headlining Sziget yet.)

And about Macklemore , let's say he's a stronh sub-head.. or co-head ^^

Well, the lyrics are pretty negative. AND these are 90s models. The lyrics goes: "She's a '90s supermodel"

Google search on this photo does suggest "top models années 90", so this is an interesting clue. And the whole music video revolves around the red purse.

Streaming represents only part of the audience, mostly the younger audience. You can't draw conclusions based on that. KOL had sold 20mio albums, twice more than Mac, Lorde and Ava combined but that also doesn't mean they will do better in terms of selling tickets.

And Chat GPT-s answer: Based on the clue "0619," the popular music band that it refers to is most likely the Korean boy band BTS, also known as the Bangtan Boys. The numbers "0619" represent June 19th, which is the date of member Jungkook's birthday. BTS is one of the most popular and successful music groups in the world, known for their catchy pop music, intricate choreography, and socially conscious lyrics.

Jungkook's birthday is 1st of September, and please don't ask me why do I know that.

I would say the same. Don’t see how the red cross could stand for anything else

That might be my fault. I said we were taking it too literally as when I looked up I Hate Models it only came up with one song. Just checked Spotify and they've done a few. My bad, it's clearly I Hate Models.

Sorry for the goose chase.

It would be funny if Leaks changed his teasing strategy by posting clues only for acts that he knows that are underwhelming for most of us. That would mean that the more exciting ones are kept as surprises.

"40+ new acts flying to the Island including • headliners • subheadliners • fantastic artists • who will perform at TicketSwap Colosseum, dropYard powered by BOLT, ibis x ALL Europe Stage or Party Arena"

Looks like smaller stages artist included too. Don't know why they keep forgeting Freedome arena, on the webpage under "exciting venues" it is also missing.

It might be an obvious statement, but at least that appears to be confirming that we'll get both main stage headliners announced.

I’m so curious what the names will be tuesday. We’re not really sure what the leaked names will be, i mean we’ve got our ideas but it could still be anything. Really hope it will be less of a let down as the previous names drop. I think the lineup is pretty underwelming for now

    • A mixed first day for us. First of all, we were honestly quite shocked that there was no security check at all at the VIP entrance around 7:30 PM. No bag check, nothing. I’ve attended Primavera many times over the years and this felt surprisingly lax for an event of this size. Did anyone else experience the same?   Another disappointment was the communication regarding the weather situation. Primavera has some of the best sound systems and speaker setups in the festival world, yet somehow they were not able to make a single clear announcement explaining what was happening. Instead, people were expected to read tiny messages on screens in Mordor while thousands were left wondering what was going on. A simple and direct audio announcement would have gone a long way.   On a lighter note, this guy absolutely made my day. Sitting right in front of the Estrella Damm terrace, wearing nothing but a long-sleeve shirt, jeans and a pair of Converse All Stars, he remained completely unbothered by the rain. While everyone else was looking for shelter, he sat there wearing sunglasses, calmly watching the crowd as if he was watching a movie.   Absolute main character energy!
    • I think my party got pretty lucky last night, at least compared to some of the horror stories over on Reddit. I was very impressed with Father John Misty in particular.   Perhaps my view would be different if I were a big Massive Attack fan or whatever, but right now my feeling is that if it's not safe for the shows to go ahead... then it's not safe for the shows to go ahead. I'd much rather they were cautious than roll the dice when it comes to something like that.    Here's hoping everyone has a better day today. 
    • It was awful during Father John Misty and I was close to the front. People just shouting and laughing their f-ing heads off about nothing in particular and being louder than the bloody stage.
    • Other things I noted yesterday, away from the obvious…   Positives: - an extra water point towards the back left of the main stages has appeared, which I believe is new for this year (and was much needed) - handing out free ponchos was a good touch  - caroline were fantastic. I’d never been in the Auditori Rockdelux before, it’s a wonderful venue and a great venue if you fancy a more chilled out environment  Negatives: - the talkers. I know it’s always bad here (and most festivals nowadays) but f**k me people wouldn’t shut up yesterday. I wonder if it was partly as a result of people being at artists they had little interest in (due to rain limiting their options), although it wasn’t great during blood orange. We’ll be making an effort to get a spot nearer the front for anyone we particularly care about over the weekend  - not enough staff around (and the ones that are there are largely useless). Most other festivals have them everywhere and are happy to help
