@Sziget2024_Leaks Any news on today's announcement? Are we getting another headliner? Will it be a band? If not today do you have a dead when such announcement would occur?

I'm assuming a couple of names announced today with the main announcement being that the headliner will come tomorrow, alongside Electric Picnic and the other festival both announcing.

 

Seems a strange way to do it though, couldn't imagine a football team holding a press conference to announce they're announcing the the purchase of a new player the following day!

Kylie added on the website. No words.

[FestivalJamie]

It’s kylie.

[Qishere]

But she won’t headline right?

[Zygq78]

Of course she is.

What do you think?

[poelim]

Ah i love the band kylie minogue

[CCester]

Okay, I have nothing against Kiley, but I cannot stress that enough, that we don’t have any bands as headliner. More so, not even as a subheadliner. Looking at all the bands touring around in August, it’s a disgrace.

I swear my expectations were low and they still managed to underwhelm.

[rowexx]

she was the only one added to the website, right?

[poelim]

Guess we can say bookers f**ked up big time this year.

don’t know what went wrong but there were some decent names touring and they didn’t manage to get even one of them

Of course she’s headliner and she’s also listed with headliners on the website

So we still need at least 1-2 names on the main stage and a few on Revolut I guess

I expect those slots will be for Hungarian acts.

 

Edit: Fisher was announced for the Main Stage

Imagine will only be smaller names this year.

not only do the bookings seem to be very hap-hazard and random this year, but the marketing and announcement strategy is nothing other than poor. These names have been randomly announced with no structure to the line up announcements whatsoever. Maybe that’s linked to troubles with booking artists (which I can only assume is down to money reasons…).

 

I think this is the most ‘in-balanced’ line up Sziget ever presented. When you’re presenting a week long festival encompassing different music types, it’s very strange to not even have one band as headliner in the mix and only bands lower down on the undercard. Whilst some of this years names stand alone would sell tickets, I think they will struggle to sell week passes big time.

2023 line up is a dream compared to this one.

Barry can't swim

Fred again 

Overmono

Four Tet

 

I am more than happy with that, take away the headliners, plenty of quality acts to see

It’s in the email Sziget sent out.

The full A38 lineup is also included:

Time for some people here to touch the grass and realise that not everyone has the same music taste as them. Sziget is a business, not your personal music festival.

A real shame. Huge F for the organisers.
