I think Little Simz as Revolut headliner fits better than Papa Roach, but she also fits better as sub for Charli so difficult to know what they will choose.

Last year we got the last announcement with some well known main stage acts on april 25th. So maybe there’s more to come

Did say there is more to be announce but I don’t know how big they be

Can we expect Twigs or Sevdaliza as guests during Anyma? He has songs with both of them 

Got to be nailed on for at least one, if not both, of them you would think.

[So Sad Simon]

Got to be Little Simz subbing Charli. Have Papa Roach as sub and you have hundreds of people on the barrier waiting for Charli who don't give a sh*t about Papa Roach and sitting down and ignoring them, properly killing the vibe.

Maybe a couple of 'known' names at most at this stage I reckon. Other than that it'll just be small acts plugging holes i would think.

On a day where there is a Kpop band playing and Charli XCX headlining I think its clear who its targeted towards and I cant see Papa Roach on that mainstage for the same reason @So Sad Simon mentioned

[CS2110]

Ocean Alley are a great addition for those looking for a bit of indie 

[Emotin]

I think this year lineup Is really well thought, they put on the table a Wide range of good Singers and bands, mainstream headliners and good undercards, lots of bands i'm really looking forward to seeing, along with djs. Still I'm Italian and this last announcement for medium italian listener Is Nothing, my Friends never Heard about any of them. In UK they're probably well known instead

You can say the Same about Little Simz, no? With hundreds of people waiting at the barrier not giving a damn about Simz.

I think that totally depends on one's taste in music and not geographical location. I'm not from the UK, yet totally buzzing for a good bunch of names. Little Simz,FKA Twigs,TLDP,Ocean Alley,Michael Kiwanuka,Empire of the Sun are great names. Make them a playlist!

I think theres much likely more crossover there than there is with Papa Roach, I may be wrong just speaking from

personal experience.

 

I always view genres as you have a core genre and you gain a liking of other genres through that lens if that makes sense. I think its easier for a Pop fan to go from someone like Charli to Simz than it is for a pop fan to go to rock.

No, lots more crossover from Simz into Charli than Papa Roach into Charli.

I also think one more announcement of live music acts will come, as I don't know how many from the current lineup will play the Europe Stage (The Buzz or how they call it nowadays)

[kristofm]

I think objectively this is a good line up, the quality's there.
While there are a few interesting names, personally it's my least favorite ever, if these artists showed up for a club gig i'm not sure I'd buy a ticket for them individually, I don't know why we didn't get a bit more punk stuff, like Soft Play, The Chats or Idles, but that's just me. I guess I'll blame Brett for it and dig into the Beaches catalog a bit further.

In the past years I could find some stuff like this at the Europe Stage mainly but most of them are "upcoming" artists

I'm wondering if "More to come" means the random circus names or we're actually getting 6-7 pop/indie/whatever artists for Freedome/Europe.

Also, what's super weird is there's still no date for Call Me Karizma so he's not even listed in the full line up bit at the end of the announcement. He's still on the website though.

I know its unrelated but I want other peoples thoughts on it. I might be completely wrong as I am a big Shawn Mendes fan, but there is no way that in Austria Central Cee is big enough to headline Frequency over Shawn. Right? or am I going crazy? Central Cees agent must be working hard this summer

Last year in the March announcement, they said something like “we’ve got a few more surprises,” and this year… nothing.

 

But I still feel like they could add 6,7 more names, just like they did late April last year. Like, the day Post Malone is playing feels kinda empty, and is Riles really gonna be a subhead? Plus, they  also said set times are coming in the spring, so that kinda makes me think there’s still a few more names to come, because maybe lineup is not complete right now

[Matt86]

Even if, to me, it definitely lacks better rock names, it remains a beautiful line-up to be honest.

 

Seeing elsewhere names like Idles, Nothing But Thieves, I Prevail, Snow Patrol, ... makes me regret Szigets' choices. I believe these were "too expensive" for the budget they allow to Rock this year .. 😕 

 

Apart from that, I think it's a 'better' line-up compared to 2024. 🙂

Is there any chance for Central Cee?

Seemingly no, hes headlining everywhere he goes this year and we have no headliners left. 

[mathuska]

I feel that generally much more people happy with this lineup than previous editions. For me, this is the real leaning of sziget, to discover new artists ive never heard before
