Certainly scope for her to play a 6 day festival.

 

Although no Budapest date on a Feb/Mar tour, isn't a indication either way for me. I would expect her to play European festivals in countries on the tour. Certainly one off werchter or pukkelpop, more likely pukkelpop. Which could point her doing the Sziget, Oya, Way out West, Pukkelpop, all points east, rock en seine route. 

Last time she had to cancel Pukkelpop, Lowlands, Rock en Seine and a few others, so I'd imagine she'll make up for those

Makes sense to do Sziget, if she does the dates mentioned.

Sziget Leaks where are you? 😂

I really hope there will be more rock/indie rock acts than last year

The Neighbourhood announced that, they are reunited. 
They would be an excellent headliner for Sziget in my opinion.

I don't think they are headliner sized tbh, subs at best

Except Sweater Weather, most people don't know their songs, so there's no way The Neighbourhood to headline.

Waiting for the day "Sziget2026_Leaks" profile shows up

what are we thinking about Shakira?

she doesnt have any dates for europe, but her tour is a world tour so ill guess she will be there at some point.

Maybe a Nelly Furtado-style slot, but I can't imagine any large festival would have her as headliner in 2026.

she IS headliner level, see her like a "kylie minogue" slot.

Nah, not having that. Ten years ago perhaps but not now. 

 

The Kylie slot was hardly a thundering success!

I believe, Kylie was a replacement

Perhaps Shakira hasn't much popularity in Europe. Looking at her tour, she's been touring since the start of 2025.

 

No Eurooean dates, constantly in North and South America. 

 

She won't headline.

I agree, she would be a headliner, a BIG one

I’m on the no way she would headline in Europe in 2025 team.

As am I. I reckon I know half-a-dozen of her songs and none of them have been released in the past 15 years. As Sziget is clearly looking toward a younger demographic going forward, having her headline would be laughable tbh.

Yes. Also,Kylie wasn’t a great success either,and I still think she has the legend status which Shakira doesn’t.  At least not in Europe

What do yall think, how likely is for Gorillaz to headline Sziget in 2026? They had a month long exibition in London with 4 concerts at the end, and tomorrow they are performing Plastic Beach in full and on 3rd September they are doing mistery show (probably new album in full) and last time they were at Sziget was in 2018. (that was also my first time and reason I came to Sziget) They were also one of the suggested names on the wish machine 🤠

If I was a betting man (and I am) I would put my money on Gorillaz being there tbh. They seem to be liked by pretty much everyone so a pretty safe booking and it looks likely that they will be around.

 

I'm at the gig on Wednesday, so I'll let you know what they play!

Omg, please do!! I'm having such a fomo right now, but I know I can't go. And have fun!!

A friend of mine was the head of the helpers this year, apparently there’s been some murmuring about Sziget not happening this year amongst the security crew. But probably just the same rumours. 
Also lot more “incidents” this year than in previous years.
