Nice 'cheap' headliner for them. But, third time in six editions might prove too much.

 

Was looking at some of Chase and Status's performance at Pukkelpop earlier. I think they'd bring the vibe and energy to Sziget. Not sure if they're big enough to headline or not though. Be an amazing sub for someone.

 

Really think that if we are waiting on a big act being announced, they may be balanced by smaller acts such as Florence, C&S, Yungblud etc.

Would fill the Justice spot nicely.

I’d happily take them. They were at Strand festival last year and coming to Budapest Park in September - both times with a dj set…

I was wondering what's the difference between their DJ set vs their regular performance? I mean, aren't they two DJs anyway? Are they normally playing Baddadan on a flute or something?

With live set they have drums, synths and a guitar as well. It's much much better. It's legit a concert with their songs rather than DJ set which is essentially who knows what drum and bass songs. Seen both and their LIVE sets are brilliant, sometimes reaching Prodigy live vibes. They usually have a few singers join them, but yes rest of vocals come from the tape. See these

Wow. That's quite cool actually!

Just read some rumours regarding Maneskin’s comeback. If it turns out to be true I definitely see them as one of the headliners next year.

I cant seem them having more than 1 rock headliner. With Foo Fighters heavily rumoured for reading/Leeds, it has to be them. Especially as every time they have headlined, they have sold very well. Bit of a no brainer for me.

That's true, but they had good support that day back in 2019. Twenty One Pilots were kind of co-head (listed as headliner on poster as well) and had great turnout and also some decent rock names were there, such as Idles, John Marr and Frank Carter. Something similar would be needed next year too.

Foo Fighters would sell on there own, was a cracking day though.

I agree,but Maneskin and Foo Fighters cater to two very different crowds imo

Really can't see them booking both.

Sziget weirdly didn't bring Maneskin or Damiano last 5 editions since they become global hit after Eurovision so can't see why would that change.

They usually follow Isle of MTV Malta, because Alok and Nelly performed before. If Damiano David or DJ Snake continues touring, they will call and try to get them, for sure.

Where are these? Fiancée is a massive fan!

Strand Festival (a smaller Hungarian festival normally a week after Sziget) will announce their exact date for next year early-September. I'm wondering if that's because of Sziget announcing it in the first days of September as well.

Someone said on Reddit that Sziget officials said they will announce the dates and start the early bird tickets in September because they want people to get their next salary. Might be bs, but also makes sense in a way.

I highly doubt it. They will milk this cow as long as possible. Can’t see them at festivals next year, even if the do festivals, I doubt Sziget has the funds for them.

There are a few of these ‘leaks’ floating around. A previous one even listed Budapest for June.

Reading and Leeds organiser has announced that they have already booked two of their three main headliners for 2026.

I'm following him since years and most of his leaks were legit. He is a French journalist and radio presenter. But of course this poster could be absolute fake as well.
