No absolutely not, but maybe the 🦁 or 💫 are hints for the remaning headliner

OK... what if Elton John? We haven't consider him yet...

He sang the most famous song of Lion King and Rocket Man is to do with stars / galaxy.

And he is touring in the summer.

First aid Kit, Fred Again, Dizzy Rascal

First aid kit could be very possible.

for the 💡, leaks clue was 💡👎 and fred agains song is Turn on the lights. So i wouldn’t think the 💡 leads to him

But i would love to have fred

Yeah i still think he could be it but i do remember some people on this forum said it would be very unlikely - cant remember exactly why but it had something to do with his retirement show in the UK

I imagine first Aid Kit would be 3rd down main stage.

we also have a sub headliner for Billie to be announced and a headliner and sub for the ‘rock day’, but all the festival itself atm seems to be hinting towards is Lorde… which brings the question of is this the biggest name they are announcing?

[lukatej]

Fred will be very nice addition.

I think that second headliner is bound to some NFA as few festivals will announce him/her this Tuesday so I guess Leaks cannot say anything about it. 

My wish would be The Killers / Blur, but I guess we will have some big name, hopefully rock.

The lights for me is Royal Blood, but are they enough to headline? Their show is really nice, but is it enough?

Could it be paramore then? I mean it’s a long shot but is there a chance they could be announcing some shows on Tuesday? The killers & strokes & placebo already have shows signed this summer, so I don’t get why that would be held back.

In my eyes Royal Blood are a sub. They are headlining truck festival with two door cinema and alt j, none of which would be big enough to headline sziget

And if they couldn't secure a rock headliner (which seems that way), then it makes sense that they try to get a few stronger rock subs.

Paramore is great but far from headline material imo

If you have such big expectations, prepare for disappointment then 😉

I'd say Slager fm, a radio stage with diffrent kind of music + the stage that isn't really listed on the map next to main stage between bars and trees

Not sure about the music but I know that during the day you have workshops, movies, stand-up shows, drag shows at night and I think there is a DJ after midnight

The billing of his Glasto show does not rule other festival dates in the summer, but he's still very unlikely. Too big, too expensive. If they got him, they would probably tease the hell out of it as well.

i am not sure whats going on in here.

there won't be elton john, there is a stadium sized headliner already (billie). they have imagine dragons playing huge arenas at least. sziget was never about the biggest headliners in the past. there were always headliner shows from acts that wouldnt be top of the bill elsewhere. you cant finance and/or get that many huge headliners for 7 days.

lorde is big enough. Looking at the socials (which ar not at all an indicator for me, but nevertheless) she would be bigger than florence. lorde isnt touring mainland europe that much. she is headliner at the other fests too. i hope she gets a strong sub, just because i hope for good bands overall. i

dua lipa was way smaller when headlining the first time.

I think we just really need @Sziget2023_Leaksto help us out ^^

I am not complaining about Lorde, she’s one of my favourite artists atm.

Have they ever helped? This forum just turns into pure chaos when they pop up here with one of their ‘clues’ 😅

Fair point. My concern, as others have already expressed, is the potential lack of rock headliner being teased (unless the lion is Mumford and Sons and, frankly, Lorde is more rock than them!). 

A confirmation that a rock headliner is, or isn't, incoming would be gratefully received @Sziget2023_Leaks

Good ending: Lorde / Macklemore | The Killers
Bad ending: Lorde / Macklemore | Major Lazer
