Early birds on sale at the festival for €40. 

Who’s gonna headline 2020? 

[jj200]

Tame impala

Royal blood

Kings of Leon

I think first headliner announcement and first few names are very important beacuse tickets income represents big part of festival budget (most of it) and if tickets are selling well that gives them courage to spend some extra money on bands (like in 2017 they added KOL and sold out the festival later), otherwise  they will try to cut down expenses in every way, like this year. 

Reality of a independent festival without big owner or general sponsor.

Agree with this. 

I’ll go for Raconteurs/ Wolf Alice/ Biffy, Morrissey, and a female headliner (Lorde/ Bjork/ Christine ATC)

I can definitely see 2-3 names from your list. 

From the top of my head:

Tears For Fears, The black keys, Editors, Of monster and men, Róisin Murphy

Any local rumors whats going on with INmusic 2020? 
Still no FB event, no news, web-page not updated, not a single statement after 14# edition etc.

The only change is that tickets are now available in web shop:

That would be awesome! 

What headliners are realistic to hope for?

Tame Impala?  Black keys? Red hot chilli peppers?

[activean]

First comment under picture: "When the first announcement will be?" A:  "When the bands approve;)" So we are not not even close i guess .. 

RHCP are way to big, i was kind of expecting The Black keys to be first headliner but yesterday someone acclaimed at Rock Wercher thread that they won't tour festivals in Europe next year:

Quote

update: The Black Keys will not play fests in Europe/ summer 2020:
The Black Keys are planning to make up their canceled arena tour. The deals are not done, but is a work in progress. Not the big arena’s. In Belgium Vorst for example.

Also barely any PR, no news on web-page, no wish-list this year.. i'm not really optimistic but i hope they can prove me wrong ?

Are they friends with some organizers from Croatia? Seems like they play every 6 months there

[activean]

So Editors are not option anymore ? Or they could be announced as third headliner in March? ?

Pixies are releasing new album next week, they fit INmusic standards.
As we figure it out last year, INmusic tends to book artist that perform there before so White Lies and Morcheeba were in Zagreb last year, Morcheeba (again) and Roisin Murphy in Rovinj, also Roisin is in Ljubljana end of this month ..

Vienna isn't that far from Zagreb, and Green Day, Fall Out Boy + Weezer play there on JUN 21, 2020, with no shows on Mon 22 or Tue 23. =w= headline slot confirmed. 

[ParanoidTourist]

So apparently Green Day and Weezer are playing at Firenze rock on the 11th of June and System of a Down plays Provinsi (or however it is spelled) in Finland on the 25th of June. Would be awesome to have the latter at In Music! 

[gregory]

Changed my headliner prediction to 3 of the following: 1975, PJ Harvey, Supergrass, Weezer, Vampire Weekend. 

[Mondo-kun]

Green Day and FOB announced as headliners for Rock for People Festival in Czech Republic a day before InMusic starts (Wezer also playing there).
Both festivals have similiar prices (€67 for RFP 3-day ticket), so could Green Day also headline InMusic? They have a gap in their schedule for 22nd-23rd.

[activean]

Festivals started with announcements so I hope INmusic follows soon and break the silence. Almost a month from last PR message, they barely changed price graphics with more than two weeks delay

Supergrass is great shout, are they touring? I'm expecting someone strong from 80's or 90's to be there. 

PJ Harvey was headlining in 2016 but i remember that field was quite empty.

NIN? Interesting!

[Death By Sexy]

NIN? Peepee hard. 

[Andrej]

I would find NIN really a strange booking for InMusic. I guess they cost a lot, and in our region they are not a headliner material, anywhere near that. No one from mainstream rock audience is too familiar with them. I love the band, but would find this a big surprise. I mean, The Cure sold very poorly at InMusic, and they are at least 10 x bigger band here than NIN.

SOAD on the other hand are massive here, and would sellout InMusic alone, without problems.

The Black Keys are on a big downturn i believe, and are nowhere near popular as they were the last time they played InMusic. There was tons of hype around them back then, today nobody cares anymore.

 

 

 

[Andrej]

Sadly SOAD are not an option for this, just saw they play a few Scandinavian shows on these dates.

They were just an "option", Inmusic can't pay them, price is probably 500k+

How much are The Cure?
