Ok, cool...he's going for it...buckle up everyone...

I was there on the day Jamiroquai headlined, they were supporting their greatest hits album, so the set reflected that, it was a blast. Kaiser Chiefs subbed for them, I was not too familiar with them at the time, but became a big fan because of this show. And this was when Sziget still had a Jazz tent, caught a late nite set there with Rhoda Scott. It was a great day, and Aron Aszok was the beer then, .6 for 300 HUF and it was ice cold. Did not make the Iron Maiden show here, caught them at Sziget 2 years later.   I was on the island last year, for my first time in over a decade. There is still loads of fun, and a lot of variety. The Global Stage was a blast. I just think that the trend toward more pop and EDM has taken away some of the spark, maybe even soul, something you can only get at a live music event. I can see how amazing that Anyma experience might be, but for me I would go see that in an IMAX, not at a festival....   Sziget should book for what kids want today and not what legacy people like me think, so that is all well and good. Charli and Chappell, while pop, are massive and deliver the goods. Let's hope there's more live acts yet to be announced, things could still be great.

I’m not basing it on the headliners but the overall posters , including undercards.   2019 also had an incredibly strong undercard . Jungle and parcels on the same night in the A38 was a great combination. And similarly 1975 as headliner followed by Chvrches 

Nothing will be confirmed until March 1st in all likelihood but given he's in Europe (at Paredes de Coura) that weekend and GM reposted an IG Story of his a few weeks ago I'd say it's very likely.

I really hope he makes a mad long speech and calls in the military to arrest Biden and Obama.
