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 question has crossed my (questionable) mind;   Has the size of the Green Fields remained the same as other areas have expanded / been added on to, since say, 2014 (the last time that I attended)? Are they 'lost' within, or well attended?    That's actually two questions. The second one just slipped in at the end by taking advantage of my lack of means to stop it.    
    • I'd say the same about Kylie.    Annie would be awesome, Duran not so much, and on the issue of them wanting a beanie slot, that probably rules out a fair few others who I think would fit the bill very well... and are legitimately more entitled to a headline, and/or too expensive.   Was just about to suggest Chaka Khan, but see @Gnomicide has beat me to it!    What about someone like Bryan Ferry?
    • It's certainly gone more that way, but then they went completely in the opposite direction and had Cat Stevens.
