Beyonce as the female act?

It also means that one of the EDM acts has never played before if the info (Calvin Harris + Shawn Mendes + Kings of Leon) is right.

Beyonce as the female act?

And we can rule out Armin Van Buuren too, he played at Sziget in 2009.

Some names not mentioned that could be on the “strong undercard”:

David Byrne

Pixies

PJ Harvey

Idles

Fontaines DC 

Supergrass

If the clue was indeed for DJs too and not only for live acts, I'm thinking now about Tiesto as the other DJ act. The dude is regarded as an EDM legend.

I never even mentioned Armin Van Buuren

fair point, my bad.

And since Rock en Seine ( end of August) is revealing a part of their line up the 10th of February, I guess Sziget will do the same .. so next week " we'll see" ( Eminem is very likely, not the others, so...) ^^

[#1SzigetFan]

Eminem

Calvin Harris

Shawn Mendes

Kings of Leon

Tiesto? / *insert other "cool" DJ name who never played Sziget here*

Beyonce? / Katy Perry? / Christina Aguilera? / Alicia Keys? / Kelly Clarkson? / Britney Spears? / Leona Lewis? / Kesha? / Avril Lavigne? => #TeamAvril, would be fun actually! Or... Paramore (Hayley is a bit older than Lizzo)?

+ 1 more... who?

Honestly I’d only consider Eminem and Kings of Leon as confirmed so far. @chunkychips127 has never been wrong. I don’t wanna comment on the other “leaker” but it doesn’t smell right.....

[Hullabaloo92]

Could Halsey be the female headliner?

I could see her returning to europe in August......

If Sziget2020_leaks guy's hint is right, then no. She's not a bit older than Lizzo...

Why are you all assuming Shawn Mendes is coming. Nobody has confirmed him

[opel]

Fatboy Slim is very active this year. Would love him there.

It's credible because Sziget staff might feel the need to have an Ed Sheeran replacement. It worked in 2018, so it might work again for them...

The 'leaker' has and, based on us having little to go on other than what he and @chunkychips127 are saying, we're believing it.

Plus, @chunkychips127 is in the know and hasn't contradicted anything that @Sziget2020_Leaks has claimed so far.

[TheGreatViten]

I understand, but why Shawn Mendes? There are a lot of similar pop artists. Why would they repeat themselves so early?

The day he played in 2018 was sold out faster than any other that year.

I already mentioned that there's only one
rock band headlining and they aren't British.

3 of this year's headliners are returning acts.

 

the woman might also be rihanna, since she headlined in 2016. so i guess it's between lana and rihanna then

If this guy really is coming, that would mean they can not get anyone else.. #disappointment

wasn't her last time at sziget a serious failure ?

Generally, I think the undercard and subheads
are much more impressive than the headliners.

 

That is always makes a lineup, have always found Sziget under card much more impressive then the headliners. For example getting Ashcroft and Marr this year and always find gems that will last a lifetime in the A38(Xavier Rudd).

How festivals are set up like sziget, headliners are not really that important.

i havent been there so i dont know, but since 3 of them are returning acts i would say lana and rihanna would be our best bets. unless the 3rd returning act is a band as well

Yeah, but we already have the 3 returning acts according to the hint: KoL, Calvin Harris and Shawn Mendes. It means it won't be Lana and it won't be Rihanna either. That's why I searched for a list of chicks that didn't play Sziget so far: "Beyonce? / Katy Perry? / Christina Aguilera? / Alicia Keys? / Kelly Clarkson? / Britney Spears? / Leona Lewis? / Kesha? / Avril Lavigne? => #TeamAvril, would be fun actually! Or... Paramore (Hayley is a bit older than Lizzo)?"

However I saw this, I guess that means we should take Sziget2020_leaks hints with a pinch of salt.

According to the Sziget wikipedia page, where you can see the bigger acts that played in the past years, she never played Sziget.
