My bet is:
Sofi Tukker - Pick Up The Phone
They had a headline gig at Budapest Park last summer.

They've got 4 European festivals in June, playing in the US a week after Sziget, so it's doable. 

...but nothing in Europe in July and in August they're in the USA. My bet is Paul Kalkbrenner ☎️

Agree, Kalkbrenner is a good call

Never seen a junkie this ripped, absolut unit, and he's also a DJ? Incredible.

Didn't even had a headphones with him at Sziget the last time 😂

Paul Kalkbrenner already has a show in Hungary in July (b my lake), doubt him.

Only rookies need those. Real professionals are driven by the vibe glowing from the crowd.

[Benji1]

Do we think it will be a Dj. We have lost a day, it’s not a definite in my mind.  Lots of dance on the dance stages.  Another band would be welcome

[activean]

Zara is truly trending lately, i guess she was a good booking.

Deftones were announced for Vienna on August 16th. I don’t think they will be playing, but that would be bold, especially since they’re quite popular right now.

It would certainly be a massive u turn from sziget, having 3 rock headliners. When's the last time that happened? 

 

I still personally think it is a nailed on EDM act. The EDM acts will be announced next I presume.

EDM will come regardless. but i think given the headliners more rock will come still.

I think deftones would work well as a coheadliner one day.  Maybe on the bring me the horizon day

Yes they would, but the thing is they probably wouldn't agree on co-headlining however they are headliners everywhere 

[So Sad Simon]

Absolutely no way Sziget is going from having Charli XCX, Chappell Roan and Anyma as headliners one year to be followed by 21P, BMTH and Deftones the next.

We are far enough away.

I agree. We are not short of a rock headliner, we are short of an EDM headliner

[Benji1]

We won’t be short on EDM overall.  Maybe they could go for a more electronic headliner like moby/kraftswerk/pavov stellar coheadliner. But I don’t think we even need that as the dance stages will be full of EDM.
 

there are other types of music not very presented so far.    We lack world music and rap in the headliner slots.  Gorrilaz would be a good fit as they are multi genre.  The cure or nick cave would be good legacy headliners( totally different to the nu metal they have so far.

BRING ON THE CURE 😎 with Slowdive, Mogwai & The Twilight Sad...

[So Sad Simon]

Well, it's five months today until the festival begins, so I guess we'll soon find out what genre our final headliner covers.

The only rock headliner is BMTH, no? The rest is pop (counting Florence as rock seems a bit far fetched).
