Weezer headline. 🤣

People here are considering Vampire Weekend as headliners. Weezer are way more popular band. And they also have a headliner slot at Mad Cool. And they are subheadlining other festivals.

 

I DON’T think they should be headliner but I wouldn’t put it past Sziget to do that.

Where did you see that Pukkelpop teased Nelly Furtado? 

On there official TikTok there a video with her song on it.  Going off a pukkle pop thread same with sting and they think it’s a teased towards there line up 

 

unless there trolling.. but I have no idea why they would pick a Nelly song out of all the songs so sounds about right

They played third out of three on the Green Day Hellamega tour too, behind Green Day and Fall Out Boy. No way they'd headline a festival the size of Sziget or Mad Cool. I'm surprised they're even second line at MC tbh.

Well you kind of get being behind green day and fall out boy, fall out boy a headliner at niche festivals like Download. Whilst even niche festivals, weezer sub. 

 

Weezer will probably headline the 2nd stage at MC, same slot as Sum 41.

 

They won't play Sziget.

Well, they are all defined as headliners. They have two headliners for each big stage since it's 3 days. And even most of their second stage headliners would qualify as small headliners for Sziget. I was there in 2023 and these acts easily had 40-50k people on them and they would likely headline Sziget:

 

Prodigy, Black Keys, QotSA (questionable for me but ppl here pitched them as headliner), Lizzo.

 

Sam Smith and Liam Gallagher were also just "subs" in terms of Sziget and they actually headlined Sziget. 

 

So yeah I would say most who are highlightes as headliner at MadCool potentially qualify for small Sziget headline or at least co-headlne.

 

(In fairness, headliner quality has gone down since 2023 at MC)

Yeah big style, which is the theme across the board. So lineup based festivals (MC, werchter), we're always going to struggle more. Although Werchter is looking good this summer.

Sziget still has a long way to go on the undercard, but in terms of headliners, I think so far they are doing quite well. I'll take Chappell and Charli over anything here at MC, and Anyma does seem to be a big deal, too. So while I still think Sziget has a long way to go with explaining the new stages and developing the undercard, they seem to be in a decent spot right now.

I would murder for NIN tho. One of my best gigs at Sziget. Otherwise this selection of headliners is abysmal in the context of MadCool.

Happy to be corrected if I'm wrong, but I think Sziget is the only European festival this summer that has Charli and Chappell, which is a coup as they're of the hottest acts of 2024.

 

Not sure vids from Anyma at Sphere has gone quite as viral as they might have hoped, but there's still six months left for people to discover his music and visuals.

 

Given the likely success of Charli and Chappell at the Grammys, I wonder whether announcement two might come the following week, giving out strong new names and promoting the Grammy wins of C & C.

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
    • Yup and they aren't cheap   Glastonbury is different though, it's a place that will pack out for rarities they don't usually see. Download strictly speaking shouldn't be the strangest place for Avril to pop up of she had been a touring artist of longer times over the years.   Avril and GC would get the same billing for me and GC are selling arenas out quicker than Avril sold Ally Pally. Bearing in mind she'd pnly done soem Brixton dates before.
    • Avril gets above GC on rarity (see Cypress Hill this year). She drew in something like 70,000 at Glastonbury, so much so that they had to close the field off. I’d wager that she would get the biggest crowd of the entire weekend if she was to play DL.
