cirez Posted November 21, 2022 Report Share Posted November 21, 2022 (edited) about that EDM headliner, assuming there will be one from 2016 on Sziget booked David Guetta, The Chainsmokers, Kygo, Martin Garrix and Calvin Harris. the issue with EDM is that the scene is basically revolving around the same names since 2013, and very few acts reach in bringing something new to the scene and none of them gets the popularity the big names Sziget usually books as headliners (eg Fred Again, Rufus Du Sol, etc) the only actual "big" mainstream edm acts that haven't been booked recently are Tiesto, Armin Van Buuren and Swedish House Mafia I've read Armin's name here, but I honestly think his reach in the mainstream is almost non-existent and that's why I'd rule him out SHM are very popular in the scene, and in 2023 they'll tour festivals - that said, I honestly think they ask for a way bigger setup than other djs and in 2022 their tour went pretty badly, their album flopped commercially (the cancellations that someone mentioned here were due to low ticket sales) and I can't see them actually happening (might be wrong here) with Leaks confirming that Chainsmokers won't be there and ruling out Calvin Harris for sure and I think Kygo and Garrix as well, I think they'll book either Tiesto or David Guetta, the only two somehow still capable to top charts in 2022 and kinda evolve their genre (thanks to other artists coproducing for them ofc) they also might do something unexpected and move towards a (slightly) more underground headliner such as Paul Kalkbrenner, Eric Prydz or deadmau5, I'm not seeing that happen but it would be a nice surprise Edited November 21, 2022 by cirez 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cirez Posted November 21, 2022 Report Share Posted November 21, 2022 also, I've never seen The Weeknd's name mentioned here, he's one of the most successful artists on the planet right now and he'll tour European stadiums (maybe he won't do festivals but who knows) next summer, it would be a great booking in my opinion and it would also be a kind of a wink to an hip hop headliner, since 2022 edition totally lacked one about that hip hop headliner, I'm not really into the genre so I can't say for sure, but Travis Scott has been announced for iDays in Milan today for the end of june - his name is pretty controversial for what happened in Houston and I don't know how much Sziget organization cares about that, but he's around as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those guys are amazing I don't think they are big enough to headline, sub-head maybe. Looking at the number of montly listeners on Spotify they have 5.4M, while other sub-headliners from this year, Sam Fender 4.5M, Rufus Du Sol 4.7M, Stromae 9.1M, Bastille 17.3M, Anne-Marie 22.1M and Lewis Capaldi 29.6M. 😬 🤷🏼♂️ Idk, that's just my point of view Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Guetta I think is the most likely, but why not DV&LM? They're big enough. is Zedd big enough anymore? or maybe Hardwell too but not sure he reaches a wide enough audience.

I never saw him in general festivals to be honest 😕 that's why it would be a very nice surprise ^^ I'm afraid we might get a Major Lazer or stuff like that... 😑 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pompirus Posted November 21, 2022 Report Share Posted November 21, 2022 I agree about Chemical Brothers, they could fit as an headliner and Paul K is more a subheadliner who could perform under A38 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billybigballs Posted November 22, 2022 Report Share Posted November 22, 2022 Right @Sziget2023_Leaks, 48 hours until the first announcement and we've got Billie, NBT and Moderat. There must be at least another 30 names or more in the announcement. What can you tease us with today? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Lobo Posted November 22, 2022 Report Share Posted November 22, 2022 I dont believe that anything appears on thursday... otherwise any leakgame would be going on here... A big part from pinkpop appeared today. The first announcement of Sziget has to be excellent, if they don't want to lose citizens to other Festivals.
