Joka_sc Posted March 15 Report Share Posted March 15 I couldn't really think about any other female headliners, so I asked chatgpt to create a top 20 female artists based on popularity in Europe and I added my own findings to it. 1. Adele, too big 2. Dua Lipa, does some big festivals, but all around early July and played in 2022 3. Billie Eilish, played last year + not on tour 4. Rihanna, not touring. 5. Taylor Swift, too big 6. Beyoncé, too big 7. Ariana Grande, not touring 8. Lady Gaga, not touring 9. Katy Perry, only 1 festival in Rio a month after Sziget 10. Shakira, not on tour but her album releases soon and she hinted at a tour to go with it. 11. Sia, not on tour 12. Lana Del Rey, As Leaks confirmed talks have broken down. 13. Lorde, played last year 14. Halsey, not on tour 15. Florence + The Machine, played last year 16. Ellie Goulding, 1 concert in april. 17. Jessie J, only has shows in the uk 18. Camila Cabello, 2 festivals in june 19. Zara Larsson, Is playing some festivals 20. Anne-Marie, played in 2022 I think from 14 down I would consider them too small for a headliner and three are just too big for festivals, Lana is out obviously and I think Billie and Lorde are out as well for playing last year. So there are only 7 options of AA+ quality in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akujin Posted March 15 Report Share Posted March 15 1 hour ago, billybigballs said: I think it's viewed differently by different people. In UK, for example, in our academic qualifications, the highest possible mark is A+. Therefore, AA+ is typical hyperbole, but indicates a VERY high level act. Which means we all get excited for The Killers and Red Hot Chili Peppers, despite knowing we're going to get Macklemore and Major Lazer! How on earth is Liam AA+…?

The commenter said two major headliners. I doubt any huge headliner would go into a “co-headlining spot” My thoughts are: - Liam and Stormzy play the same day to attract UK visitors; - Sam Smith seems to be surprisingly big, so they could leave him as a standalone headliner; - Same with Fred, maybe they add Skrillex as second headliner that day; - Martin Garrix always was a standalone headliner at Sziget, no reasons to change it; So there could be two spots left. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, this is my interpretation of the situation. Fingers crossed it's correct and we still have a couple of strong female and rock headliners to come.

poelim Posted March 15 Report Share Posted March 15 Although i would normally take those comments with a grain of salt, it could be a good excuse for letting us wait for so long. Hoping they’re right about the “AA+” headliners! For me personally, i would love one of them being a rock headliner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ausländer Posted March 15 Report Share Posted March 15 13 hours ago, iamdebrii said: Take it with a pinch of salt but this was said on the Sziget Reddit: AA+ headliners meaning...? 👀 I would completely ignore this. They only want to promote there Festival Family thing, we know Liam is a Headliner and he certainly isn't as big of a deal as they want to make out the missing Headliners to be.

Akujin Posted March 16 Report Share Posted March 16 So if there are actually two major headliners yet to come eho we thinkin? What major acts (one presumably female one presumably rock) could possibly be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuintenH Posted March 16 Report Share Posted March 16 We will probably get stage hosts until Monday. and then the announcement on Tuesday that the line up will be announced on Thursday. This seems like a logical order to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All before Sziget. I suspect we will just get a 'best of' with Oasis songs, solo songs and, at most, a couple of songs from his collab with John Squire.

Matt86 Posted March 16 Report Share Posted March 16 I remember when majority were like "blablabla Coldplay impossible for festivals"... . Thank you Glastonbury. I hope now everyone realise that it's only a matter of MONEY. Hey, Rihanna performed at a wedding for 9 millions, ok ..? So please no more " gnagnagna blabla he's/they/she not doing festivals etc...". But considering the obvious Sziget budget for music, indeed I don't believe 1 second that they could get Taylor Swift lol. Or AC/DC or The Weeknd. We should look at acts that use to be subhead or "normal" headliners.. James Blunt, Sia, Usher, etc.. and if we get lucky, someone who haven't performed for a while like Shakira or Ariana Grande, etc... (Katy Perry still seems to me too big for the "Nowadays Sziget" 😞 ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
