I read elsewhere on the 'net that there are rumours of LDR touring European festivals this summer (Rock en Seine still has no acts announced for its opening day proper) and that led me to remember this pic.

 

Not my bag at all, but went with the Mrs and kids in the Summer to see her at Wembley, and it was without a doubt the worst concert I have ever been to. even the ones I went with who like her, said it was awful

Saw her headline Latitude festival in, I think, 2018. I reckon half the people there had left by the end of the show.

 

It was like she was heavily sedated. Arrived half-an-hour late and played about 70 minutes. Woeful.

@Sziget2025_Leaks can you break the pattern today and give us some hints? 😉

So unfortunate to have the habit of starting late when your name rhymes with delay.

Saw her in 2018 at Sziget, bit of boring. Nothing against her music, it’s just it’s not for festivals in my opinion, would work much better in a smokey bar or at a more intimate place.

From what I think, Zara Larsson is highly possible as one of the artists to be announced as a sub-headliner. She has gained a significant amount of hype on TikTok thanks to the renaissance of Lush Life and the viral dance trend surrounding the song, and she is currently touring across European festivals, which makes her a very realistic booking.

Another possible interpretation of the umbrella emoji teased by Leaks could point to two different artists. One strong candidate is Bring Me The Horizon, as the symbol may reference the cover art of their That’s the Spirit album, which prominently features an umbrella, and they are also touring Europe in July.
However, in my opinion, this theory might not fully hold up, as it feels like this year’s major rock band slot is already covered by Twenty One Pilots.

The other artist the umbrella could hint at is Lana Del Rey. As we know, Sziget Festival was reportedly very eager to book her for the 2024 edition. Later, in the Kádár podcast, the organizers openly admitted that they were not satisfied at all with that year’s lineup and revealed that their main focus was on securing a single artist. They wanted that act so badly that, in the end, the deal did not come together—strongly suggesting that Lana Del Rey was the artist they failed to secure.

Rihanna can most likely be ruled out. She hasn’t released a studio album in over ten years, has only contributed to music through soundtracks in recent years, and after her widely criticized 2016 performance, it’s hard to imagine the festival taking that risk again.

I believe we might get Robbie Williams and Calvin Harris as headliners and Zara Larson as the sub

It could be garbage who are touring.  This date would be only a few weeks after their latest announced date.  There biggest song is.  I’m only happy when it rains.

I hope they bring their beach ball with them.

 

Garbage are, at best, an average-sized band nowadays. I'm not sure they're even big enough to sub at this point in their career. Which is a shame as I used to love them.

Garbage + Travis combo to headline.

That would attract about 43 additional visitors.

Saw Garbage at TRNSMT in 2024 and even though it was a somewhat local show for them not many people turned out for a subheadline set, most people were there for Liam Gallagher

Yeah, I think that's on YouTube somewhere, I seem to remember switching it off. Was giving me second-hand embarrassment at the poor turn out.

Lorde in Croatia - Pula arena 18.8, it puts her right next to Sziget, It is certainly quite possible that she would close the festival. Imagine Dragons did same for example, both events, just from the top of my head.

She can only do the first day, as she is already announced for other festivals, but it would be great to have her at sziget.
