Act 1 - THE BAND'S ONLY CONCERT IN SEALAND THIS YEAR WILL BE SOUTH OF THE SUN, WROTE SONGS IN A HOSPITAL, THEY CLAP

 

Act 2 - HAS SOMETHING IN COMMON WITH ERIC CLAPTON, PRINCE, STING & JIMI HENDRIX, THE FIRST TIME THE ARTIST PLAYED AT A FESTIVAL WAS IN 2019, IS KNOWN FOR EXPERIMENTING WITH GENRES

 

Act 3 - LOVES DOLLY PARTON, USES HUMOR AND POP CULTURE REFERENCES IN HER SONGWRITING, HAS A COMPLICATED RELATIONSHIP WITH VIRGOSES

 

Act 4 - IS FROM DOWN UNDER, THE FIRST RECORD THE ARTIST BUYED FOR HERSELF WAS "ARETHA NOW, RECORDS HER MUSIC IN THE OLD DAYS

 

 

Act 1 might be our rock headliner?

 

Act 4 could potentially be Nick Cave. He is obviously from Australia and has just announced a solo tour with Colin Greenwood. They play in Norway 7th of August.

I’d love nick cave.  Super good headliner for me.  But think it’s unlikely:)

 

He wouldn't headlne with his solo tour. He isn't even doing it with Warren Ellis this time. 

 

Will look to do one of his European dates.

Ok, I'm gonna do a little prediction for tomorrow:

Post Malone / James Blake / Peggy Gou / Sean Paul / Tyla / Mk.gee / Hurts / Snow Strippers / Soft Play / Salvatore Gannaci

 

Let's see if I'm right at least about one name 😅

I'll be really disappointed if there's no Soft Play.

And I'm kinda hoping a little bit for The Chats or Girl in Red as well.

What I hope we'll get: A redressing of the balance between EDM/Pop and Indie/Rock acts with the announcement of more indie acts such as Wet Leg, Vampire Weekend, Iggy Pop, Biffy Clyro etc.

 

However, a festival announcing acts is hardly the 'surprise' they're teasing. Therefore....

 

What I think we'll get: The removal of A38/Freedome and replaced with a new EDM-orientated second stage. The combining of some of the smaller stages. The announcement of a dozen or so acts mixed between EDM/Rock/Indie including Snow Patrol, Empire of the Sun, Iggy Pop.

 

Oh, and a new beer sponsor.....

Looking at the announced acts we do need a new or redeveloped stage.  However they were talking about a night district.  So I think the arena is the one that will be expanded to include a few live acts and bigger light shows into the night.  That way coliseum is nearby.  Maybe a few dj stages over that side of the island.  No idea what they may do with a38,  weird they have removed world music stage, over on that side.  Exciting to see what they are dreaming up.   A38 was always quiet in the night as its miles from the arena.

This is what Im afraid of aswell. Man, I may even sell my tickets if the announcement will be something similar.

Guys, what if the Balaton sound stage DOES come, but it will only be stage 2. Armin and Justice would make a lot of sense headlining that. And also it makes sense that as Balaton Sound disappeared, they especially want to attract part of that crowd? Almost as if Sziget have merged Balaton?

I actually had a similar thought yesterday. Let's wait and see
