Just now, Akujin said:

Justice is a bit big for Revolut, but also not great in the daylight on the main stage, plus no way Nelly is playing 3rd down from headliner.

 

I agree with this

Hozier is waaay bigger than Fender, outside of probably the UK. 

Sam Fender played as a sub to a medium size audience in 2023. I was literally able to casually walk up to about 20 meters from the stage. 
 

I don’t understand the discussion about him being even a potential headliner.

 

Hozier? No clue. It feels to me that most people here only know one song maaaybe two and even that’s a cover

Yeah I think that a big chunk of his monthly listeners only listen to Too Sweet or Take Me To Church

Just looking at Pukkelpop. They shared 15* names with Sziget last year and made their main announcements at end of Jan/beginning of Feb. If they do the same this year, it might give us some strong ideas about who will be in announcement two.

 

 

*Fred Again.., Stormzy. Fontaines DC, Artemas, Blondshell, Sam Smith, Goldband, Skrillex, Raye, Grandson, Barry Can't Swim, Marc Rebillet, Crystal Fighters, Dead Poet Society, Becky Hill.

I came across some recent TikTok videos from Justice where they explain about their light show and how complicated, well thought out and important, integral part of their show.

 

Yeah there is no way they are playing on the main stage during daylight.

 

They either get forced into the Revolut stage or either Revolut or Party Arena will get bigger.

with the subs announced so far i would also expect an upgrade of a stage. or they just "bump up" justice. 3of the 5 announced "subs" are on the 7th., and so far i could only think of something like 

nelly - ??? - justice on the main

brejcha revolut

 

kind of strange so far

[Benji1]

Is interesting,  they may be increasing size of revolut or arena to have bigger acts on after main.   That would be awsome.  So justice could be on at 12-1.30am after headliner.

 

maybe they are moving arena and revolut closer together so in the night the revolut stays busy when it goes electro.   Revolut very empty by 2.30-3

No way. Unless there is a headliner who cancells last minute, Justice will remain a sub or a small stage headliner.

 

Nelly sub, Justice Revolut, Boris party arena I think

The Way Out West line-up is shaping up very nicely. Wish Sziget's undercard was as strong!

[kristofm]

Wet Leg are playing at Oya on the 7th and Way Out West (8th or 9th), BUT not Flow Festival (Aug 8-10).

You know, why... because by that time they must be in Budapest already!

Subbing Chappell on 11th would be sweeeeet.

We know why... they're heading to Boardmasters, not Sziget.

[FestivalJamie]

What about Haim? They seem to only be booked for Primavera so far

oh for f**k's sake I haven't seen that. I was so convinced it's finally the year... 

[CS2110]

Just seen Mumford and Sons have a new album in march. SURELY they’re not playing again!?

Leaks said they were negotiating with them so there must be some possibility and new album out this year so will be a real fail if they've missed out.

Not after 2023's poor turnout. And too soon too.

After the "who?" of the first announcement I'm not holding my breath for anyone in announcement two.

 

As long as we don't get another 30 plus EDM acts with 100k monthly Spotify listeners each, I'll be happy.

[Matt86]

I remember Leaks sayin' Franz ferdinand and Nothing but thieves being targets.

 

Question : after the NBT success in 2023, I understand some bands CAN be back only 2 years after. It already happenned ; but would NBT be able to get their first headline spot, like Dua Lipa 2018 .. ? or do you guys think only as a sub-head for now ?

Sub for sure... them headlining would be so underwhelming. But I would bet on both NBT and FF not being there as their tour schedule is already quite busy and it just doesn't look very likely logistics-wise...

Qotsa ruled out

They announced a show in Budapest Park which is less than a month before Sziget.
