Same goes for Billie Eilish, in Europe from the 3rd of June 'til the 2nd of July so far. AND she starts her Australian tour early September, seems to me she'll rest in August.. !

It all just sounds like a dirge to me. I think it's probably his voice that I just find so affected. Love The National though! Same here, I've tried Nick Cave ( 2 albums + some singles) 'cause I know how talented the man is ! ... but I just can't. I strongly believe he is made for inside shows, not for festivals. 3 hours ago, gfa said: Might be completely off on this but surely Stromae has dropped off ridiculously since the last time he played? Is he releasing new material because theres nothing new since 2013 on spotify and thats 8 years, probably would stick with a similar slot as before? Noticed everyone seems to be putting Stromae really high for what seems to be no reason? I can answer to that ^^ : in 2014, Stromae just released a great album, HUGE success in Belgium and France . But after a drug treatment for malaria in 2015, he got very sick (could have died) and disappeared for a long time. He's better since 2017, but prefers to work "in the shadows", for other artists notably. I think you can consider his "headline" status because it's a kind of come back, + he "left" while he was at the top. (I can also tell you he cost 500.000€, according to promoters) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swelsbyuk Posted October 12, 2021 Report Share Posted October 12, 2021 (edited) Agreed that Sziget needs a mega-booking. Who could that be? Unlikely to a Fleetwood Mac / Rolling Stones heritage act. I've listed the 'stadium' acts I think might be possible below. AC/DC - are they set to announce a tour? Would they suit Sziget? Adele - new album coming soon. Will she tour? Will she play festivals when she could sell out stadiums on her own? Beyonce - not toured in five years so must be due something but no rumours of new music. Billie Eilish - perhaps not quite at the same mega-level as the others on the list Coldplay - album coming very soon. Tour seems likely. But festivals? Ed Sheeran - unlikely due to 2019 booking Eminem - playing Superbowl in Feb. Tour highly likely but only plays small number of dates when touring Foo Fighters - unlikely due to 2019 booking Lady Gaga - will be touring RHCP - U.S tour prevents appearance Taylor Swift - likely to announce a tour soon and was due to play festivals in Europe in 2021 I'm sure I've missed some there so will wait on corrections!

Very much looking forward to his shows at Primavera and TWC next year. The man is a beast live. If you get the chance, go see him with his bad seeds.

Gutting that Nick Cave/Placebo are doing werchter classic rather than the main rock werchter festival. Even more gutting the Werchter Classic is on my daughters birthday. 😔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So no dates in July and August. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before INMusic 2018 i tried to listen to setlist songs, but didn't get the fuss about him, while everyone was so excited. But than 🙌, he is genius on stage. One of the best gigs i've been to, looking forward to 2022 to see him again. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quality lineup that one for the money. althoigh im thinking of primavra porto, just a shame the middle day is a bit weak for my taste. The Barca version of primavera is perhaps the best lineup of all time over the 2 weekends. Edited October 12, 2021 by thetime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how I'd feel about that booking to be honest. It's essentially a very good bit of karaoke. But the songs are timeless and it'll be a great singalong etc. I'd certainly attend but whether I'd be happy if they're announced instead of, say, Queens of the Stone Age is another matter.

UnBiloTitled Posted October 12, 2021 Report Share Posted October 12, 2021 What do you think about Swedish House Mafia? Not really my cup of tea, but Sziget usually has a big EDM headliner.

I'm afraid that we'll might get Marshmello, I think he's supposed to play at Fm4Frequency in Austia (next year, he was announced for this year tho) and he was announced for Volt festival in 2020, and Sziegt always mix artists between Volt, Balaton Sound and Sziget all the time 🙇🏼♂️ For example, Kygo was at Sziget in 2018 and at Balaton Sound in 2019 Mashmello was at Balaton in 2019 and was announced for Volt for 2020 Martin Garrix was at Balaton Sound in 2018 and at Sziget in 2019 I really have no idea at this point about EDM artist and my head is full of names and artists these days 🥴 I just hope Sziget will keep Calvin Harris 🤞🏼 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
