Any rock headliner that would benefit from a flashy stage? Can you think of anyone?

 

They had The Cure, The Killers & The Strokes (+ QOTSA but they're out) in their wish machine. Avril Lavigne would also be a good subheadliner or coheadliner on a weaker day. Iggy Pop and Rise Against are other 2 rock names from their wish machine.

The Cure and QOTSA are out. The Strokes are not touring for quite some time and The Killers have no EU dates at all, only a few in US.

Really wonder who can be the rock headliner

Avril has extended her touring for 2025 but so far no EU dates. Could she come back? 
 

But to be fair it ‘s either Strokes, KoL or Mumford n Sons 😢 It’s Sziget after all.

Why are The Cure out? They didn't announce any shows yet. Furthermore, there were hints from October that they will announce a tour this year: "In October 2024, Smith said the Cure would release a follow-up album to Songs of a Lost World and tour in 2025, and would release a documentary in 2028". This is from their wikipedia page, the cited source being this article: https://www.stereogum.com/2283855/the-cure-tease-another-new-album-tour-and-documentary/news/

Because he also said this: "We were going to play festivals next year, but then I decided that we weren’t going to play anything next summer. The next time we go out on stage will be autumn next year."

CBA to find it, but Leaks definitely ruled them out.

I think  announcement of changes to some venues.   Maybe new beer sponsor.   The rock and roll thing is interesting.

 

my current thinking is that the arena will be expanded and allow live acts.  I can imagine them then using it during the day.   Remove the revolut for a larger main stage area.  Add a few more smaller stages (maybe more rock focused stages)

They wouldn’t make such a fuzz about a stage. Wording more like hints at one specific act (headliner) being announced rather than bunch of names in my opinion.


Yeah they will also bring out new names, but that is definitely not a surprise. 
 

I mean who is surprised by a festival announcing new names?

 

I think the surprise refers to the stage, which is likely to be a Heineken Stage. (Hence the “beer cheer”)

If the global villiage is gone,  that is a shame.  One of my top 3 venues.

 

The world music made Sziget special and added to the variety that the festival sells itself on.  Hopefully it will be a redeveloped world music offering either spread across stages or as part of a new stage.

I’m wondering if they are making a bigger stage instead of the Revolut stage? One that extends into the Global Village area?

 

they would have to get rid of some trees, and that would be a very touchy subject on this island… but it could make sense to have Justice and Armin on that stage. Both feel small for current Revolut and not great for main stage sub during daylight.

I quite like the idea of a chevron type stage.  Do you think that would replace revolut or the arena?

Your guess is as good as mine but based off how many dj’s they’ve announced, I’d guess revolut. Then maybe a different stage in place of the global village that’s focused on live music

I liked global villiage as it had music and activities on early in the day.  I would be happy if they started main stage one act earlier round 2.30.     What would they replace global villiage with.  Maybe a workshop/wellness area.    Maybe they will bring back the luminarium.   As long as it’s not just more of the poor product advertisements that seem to be growing year on year.    Old spice car wash last year where the blues stage used to be

    • Not necessarily but it should be, Download have a habit of messing it uo when others get the bookings on point. Good Charlotte I doubt are playing 3rd down and that too 3 that day while dreamy is too strong. I think you'd have one another day to help sell weekend tickets. I also doubt Papa Roach play. 
    • Here's a bit of a wild stab, few placings may be off, and for all I know half of these won't actually be touring next year, but screw it, it's a bit of fun   Pyramid: Sabrina Carpenter, Phoebe Bridgers, TBA (Florence + The Machine), Garbage, The Last Dinner Party, Interpol, Alex James Britpop Classical Other: Chase & Status, Teddy Swims, Clairo, The Kooks, Zara Larsson, Kingfishr, Sports Team, Orbital West Holts: Robyn, Baby Keem, De La Soul, Deltron 3030, JID, Dua Saleh, kwn, Daniela Latila Woodsies: Bonobo, Darkside, TBA (Tame Impala), Laufey, Warmduscher, Wednesday, The Lottery Winners, The Royston Club, Florence Road Park: Patti Smith, Super Furry Animals, Slayyyter, The Cardigans, Skye Newman, Kelly Lee Owens, Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers   Pyramid: Harry Styles, The xx, Richard Ashcroft, The Pogues, Jessie J, Sigrid, Travis Other: Rosalia, Sombr, Mitski, Alex Warren, Holly Humberstone, Cat Burns, Pale Waves, Yard Act West Holts: Basement Jaxx, Elyanna, Clipse, L’Imperatrice, Nation of Language, Jim Legxacy, Yazmin Lacey, RIP Magic Woodsies: Suede, Chvrches, Bleachers, MUNA, The Cribs, Keo, Bleech 9:3, The Lilacs Park: MARINA, Magdalena Bay, Jacob Alon, TBA (Lily Allen performs West End Girl), Getdown Services, Isaac Wood, Snail Mail, Madra Salach Pyramid: Sam Fender, Hozier, David Byrne, Cher, Obongjayar, David Gray, Billy Ocean Other: Doja Cat, Deftones, Addison Rae, Ren, Viagra Boys, Maisie Peters, The Reytons, Hard Life West Holts: Kano, Thievery Corporation, Angine De Poitrine, Thee Sacred Souls, Brooke Combe, Sasha Keable, Master Peace Woodsies: The Wombats, Metronomy, Geese*, Dry Cleaning, EsDeeKid, Sienna Spiro, Cowboy Hunters, Radio Free Alice Park: Big Thief, Laura Marling, MJ Lenderman, Richard Dawson, Oklou, Maruja, Dead Dads Club, Ratboys   *There's always one band booked for Woodsies that ends up being massively under-billed and gets shut down really early. They'd be better off playing somewhere like Other sub, but I could see the G getting them to play a smaller stage while it's still possible
    • Another Kraftwerk one for me today, as just back from seeing them.
