Lucky, brilliant live band. Not seen them in years.

Manchester Apollo - wasn't even a sell-out, which I can't begin to understand.

How many acts will be revealed in the first announcement @Sziget2023_Leaks?

An updated 10: 

Blur, Paramore, Sam Fender, Stormzy, Billie Eilish, Nothing But Thieves, Foals, Little Simz, Royal Blood, Young Fathers.

Billie Eilish, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Blink-182, Rosalía, Yung Lean, Nothing But Thieves, Wet Leg, Girl in Red, Bicep, Alvvays

Could Bicep do the tent size-wise? Feel like dance acts that are a sub size get left in a weird slot at sziget - they won't play in the day but are too big for the tents

I guess Bicep should belong to the A38 the same way Nina Kraviz did last year

Nina Kraviz was in Colosseum this year 💁🏼‍♂️

Strokes, Florence and Arcade Fire at Cala Mijas about 3 weekends after.

Strokes were booked for 2020 - decent chance they return i think

Roughly the same amount as last year's first drop

This would be incredible 😍

Also a bit surprised that Arcade Fire are getting a fair amount of festival bookings considering how hard Pitchfork tried their best to cancel them.

[sandorbeni]

Will we have 6 headliners next year, or could there be more like in 2019?

Kygo would be an incredibly stale booking - faded from relevancy about 5 years ago

I'm no Pitchfork fan but I don't think they 'tried to cancel them' rather brought forward allegations against Win Butler, those victims deserved a voice and a platform, it just happened to be Pitchfork in this instance.

and the others on his/her list? Its sziget I do not think its a cutting edge festival, especially the main stage.

EDM moves faster than a lot of other genres - given they usually only have one DJ headliner they should surely try and make it a relevant one

Then maybe they could bring Swedish House Mafia? 🤔

So AT LEAST 4 headliners and 3 subs being announced next week. That's a seriously big announcement.

Well they are doing creamfields late August.
