Do we reckon they've held back a big name from these teasers?

In honesty, I really hope so. In reality, I fear not.

 

I assume they'll promote BMTH and Zara as 'headliners' so they'll have six at that point. I think they need at least seven, if not eight.

 

But it seems strange to hint at two upcoming 'headliners' but hold one or two back. I hope i'm wrong.

I think that they might want to have some surprises in the announcement, which could explain holding back some headliners. After all it was pretty easy to figure these clues out.

 

If there are more 'headliners' left, who are the realistic options? There is a small chance for Lorde and then potentially a dj headliner and maybe Teddy Swims with a high billing. Who else could be possible?

I believe there will be also 3rd wave of artst, on the same level as 2nd one, so we might get one headliner later. It is still very early, i guess they'll announce some names now, to start selling daily tickets.

Would make sense and with that headliners for all 5 days would be covered.

 

Florence & The machine

Bring me the horizon

Sombr / Zara Co headline

Lewis Capaldi

21 Pilots

 

That would be decent, only one I'd change is Capaldi to sub and Calvin Harris to headline.

Have you seen the newsletter. Is 2016 the new 2026? I know someone mentioned Rihanna and she played in 2016… Tbh that line up was pretty decent 

Bring Me The Horizon played in 2016 as well

I wonder if Lily Allen could pop up at Sziget this year. Just announced for Oya mid August and headlining Boardmasters in the UK. 

 

Used to be quite partial to Lily Allen, not checked out the new album though. 

 

New album has some biting lyrics, but not many bangers.

 

I notice that on all her appearances this year the posters specifically state she's playing the new album, which makes me wonder if it's just that album or that plus a few of her bigger hits.

That's the current Tik Tok trend (or so I'm told), so probably just jumping on that bandwagon. Although would like to see Editors and Chvrches from that year reappear in 2026.

I looked at that earlier in the week. Album length 44m, with a normal hour set you may get a couple after chat and all that. But headine spot at boardmasters, you may get all the big ones.

 

Not a fan of album shows, but if Bjork ever did Vespertine or Homegenic album shows. 😃😃

Sziget promoting 3 day ticket sales coming soon but day tickets 'in the future'. Do we take this to mean that there will be a 3rd announcement containing at least one more headliner? 

 

 

Certainly sounds like it. Day tickets only go on sale when all headliners are announced, so if they're not going on sale then that indicates we won't have them all on Tuesday. Interesting.

Yes I think. if we look back to the 2024 edition, there was a third wave of acts including headliners/sub-headliners around March-April and the day tickets started after that announcement.

They love to do a last-minute announcement with Macklemore as headliner 😄

Usually camp on music days, this year we are doing a hotel for 10 days. Great location for city touring, right by the Opera house. 

 

Any way how easy is it to get out of the site? Busier from 11pm - 2am I presume after the headliners? Long queue for the taxis?

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
    • Yup and they aren't cheap   Glastonbury is different though, it's a place that will pack out for rarities they don't usually see. Download strictly speaking shouldn't be the strangest place for Avril to pop up of she had been a touring artist of longer times over the years.   Avril and GC would get the same billing for me and GC are selling arenas out quicker than Avril sold Ally Pally. Bearing in mind she'd pnly done soem Brixton dates before.
    • Avril gets above GC on rarity (see Cypress Hill this year). She drew in something like 70,000 at Glastonbury, so much so that they had to close the field off. I’d wager that she would get the biggest crowd of the entire weekend if she was to play DL.
