I'm liking the new album by Halsey, it's very poppy and has a major pop punk influence which I usually wouldn't like, but I admire how real and honest she is talking about her struggles with mental health and her illness. Also even though it is still within the pop realm I like how she's developed from a purely electropop sound to a more mature one with rockier and singer-songwriter influences. Think she's really come on musically and I like how she's not afraid to show vulnerability.
Incredibly surprised that London Grammar don't appear to be a headliner at Boardmasters. They play arenas and headlined Latitude last year. Would love them at Sziget.
Quite a lot of strong female, or female-led acts, appear possible for Sziget this year. Hope they snap them up!
Maybe the festival of pre-covid, but in the last few they've got some cracking headers.
Last year we had Stormzy 3 years after heading R&L, and Sam Fender a year after his headline set, along with Chase & Status who you amongst others hyped up as big 3 headliner possibility this year.
2023 we had Liam Gallagher, 2 years after and 1 year before his R&L headline sets, Florence & the Machine a couple years after she topped Glastonbury outright.
Having R&Ls 3rd down and Chevron headliner as this years seems a little of a step back.
