I think it's a lot more likely that either them or Sam Fender will play at 17:45 on the main stage. Imagine putting a Reading headliner in a tent, it's a recipe for chaos. We have seen Twenty-One Pilots perform from 18:30 when they were pretty much on their peak, so I think a Foals or Sam Fender gig at 17:45 on the main stage is pretty likely. They can still put Viagra Boys in the tent after Florence as they did with Arctic Monkeys + Fontaines DC last year.

So I think on the first day we'll see a Hungarian indie band on the main stage from 16.00 (someone like Carson Coma from last year), 17.45 Foals, 19.30 Sam Fender, 22.00 Florence. 

I assume that Florence time should be slightly earlier?

I guess Florence + the Machine will clash with Foals or Sam Fender.

No way. That would be a disaster. Foals 17:45 - 19:00 (Franz Ferdinand and the Kooks also had that spot) on the main or in the tent.

Although I admit that I am surprised Foals are lower than Fender, they are way more established outside UK in comparison with Sam

Is this a hint as well?

Charli XCX has a song called “February 2017”. Also Jorga Smith has a song with February in the title.

Pink Floyd have 0 tracks with February in the name, neither have they released any albums in February. It is likely it won't be them. Although they did start to use the name "The Pink Floyd" in February 1965, so it might be them after all.

[Matt86]

lol u guys see clues everywhere now... 😂 it was just a way to say "we'll talk in February" 'cause the next announcement is indeed planned for February ^^

[Matt86]

(even if Foo Fighters might, MIGHT, be an option..) That would be crazy 🥰 ...

ANYWAY ! ^^ I'm also looking forward to the Rock En Seine announcement coming soon, they share a lot with Sziget..

Names are interesting ^^ 

but no way 1) eagles of death metal as a sub, and 2) maneskin and olivia rodrigo would never "only" be at freedome. MainStage or nothing.

Since it's their 30th birthday, I suppose the "see you soon" clue given by @Sziget2023_Leaks might indeeed be Coldplay (damn I can't imagone the overcrowded pit lol..).

Then, I'm sure they would try Eminem as a second BIG name, and that's understandable since there were no rap act as headliner this year.

After that... hmm.. Muse are doing their World Tour in 2023 so why not ; female artists is very difficult to guess because so many could : Billie Eilish ? Miley Cyrus ? or a surprise like Katy Perry or Lady Gaga ? way too early to say... Also, why not this ABBA holograms thing, since the abba tribute always is a huge success ^^

 

you're twice the man than matt[s]42[/s] matt43. 😛

I'd love to see Daughter back on the line up! They were on the 2020 line up and just recently released their new track so I really believe they might be a possibility for the 2023 edition 🙂

So I guess I won't be at main stage that day.

It's times like these that really bring out the best of you @Sziget2023_Leaks.

All my life I've waited for my hero to come along and, these days, they're very rare.

The question is, is it times like these you learn to live, give and give again?

wake me up when january ends

[swelsbyuk]

Has there been any indications anywhere of who is actually subbing this year?

Think it's fair to say that Sam Fender will be, and it appears that Foals won't, but who else is?

Are Niall Horan and Yungblud big enough names to sub? What about M83 or Nothing But Thieves? Or are we looking at Diplo and others TBA?

[activean]

Do we even have some possible names in the mix at this point or not at all?

Lowlands usually shares some names but no announcement on the horizon.

Not really. I'm looking at the 13-15 ticket though and just knowing Guetta, Florence and Imagine Dragons won't be there is reassuring enough.

Rock En Seine lineup announcement on the 23rd or 24th of January?

[swelsbyuk]

I'd literally take 80% of this line up. Shame I live about 5000 miles away.

I am so glad I'm not the only one

Coldplay will come up with new dates. For now their tour ends at 19 July 2023 in Amsterdam. Any chances for extending their Europe leg with some July or August European festivals like Sziget?
