I take it you’re being facetious but I was referring to The Killers, Queens, Måneskin & Fred, rather than Sam. I assume nothing about Sam other than that they’d likely be a shite headliner.

Needed to lookup what facetious really mean and your assumption is correct.

anyway, Simon is known to put fake names every year, so this lineup is very inprobable, so we can get back to guessing. 

I actually read some great reviews for Sam Smith live shows, so I dont think it will be that much bad. Also with crossing out this list, we can consider Stormzy as one of the heads.

Female artist missing, who could that be..?

Can see Stormzy as subheadliner, like it would have been in 2020. He is far from being huge outside UK, nearly unknown around here. 

I still think it could be Lana, just not as part of the first announcement.

I was absolutely certain that the most cis straight males in this forum are bothered by the idea of Sam headlining just bc of his gender. They’re a huge artist, they have a bunch of popular songs and a very good stage presence. So might as well get over your dumb ideas and just separate the art from the artist.

Then you'd be wrong. I am cis gendered and I have absolutely no issue with anyone's gender, sexuality or anything else. I just don't find Sam Smith's music worthy of a headline slot. I quite like Unholy, really like Latch but can't find much more in their catalogue to interest me. But, if they play, I'll inevitably check them out.

I suspect the answer to that is possibly why the announcement was delayed.

Pink has dates in Europe until end of July so my money is on her tbh.

Yeah, I also think he is rather sub than head, but if they wont have any rap name or he will be just filler, than it would be possible.

The Pink guess is actually nice, that would be a cool booking!

I only know Unholy and the Tom Petty song he kind of copied, but I think it's undeniable that Sam Smith is a quite popular artist. If he doesn't collide with anyone I like then I'll do my usual pop headliner ritual: get some food in the first 20-30 mins of the set because there's much less queue, then sit down and watch the rest from the back with a good burger.

P!nk is a great shout, if we aren’t getting Dua or Lana the only other big name off the to of my head is SZA. No idea how big she is in Hungary though.

she’s playing oshega (2-4 aug) so most likely ruled out

- okay never mind, this has already been found by someone else haha -

 

 

think I found it, the red L hint must be Louis Thomlinson:

Its the logo of a (Dutch) motorcycle clothing brand named Louis. I just drove by this company and I recognized it from the hint here

Balaton sound is announcing next Tuesday, so I don't think sziget will have an announcment on the same week

[pandutzu]

UNTOLD moved their dates at the same time with Sziget for next year and they already teased Swedish House Mafia and Sam Smith, so I believe both of them will be at Sziget as well. 

First names at UNTOLD will be revealed most likely on the 7th or 8th after the release of the aftermovie so I guess, Sziget will do the same.

Also pretty excited to see that Fred Again.. will be confirmed as well at Sziget 😄 

[QuintenH]

Chances of post malona Coming to Sziget? he has a few shows early this year. But other than that he has nothing.

[billybigballs]

Out of interest, in the search for female names, is Kylie Minogue a big enough name to headline? Or is she not particularly famous in mainland Europe?

I think she's well known but I wouldn't book her for a 18-25 years old audience. I think I only know her through my parents.

To headline A38 - sure.
Not an artist for Sziget's target audience, but her new album had some good reviews, so not impossible.

Yep, Kylie Minogue last album is quite good.. ! But as @kristofm said, I think that Sziget don't book this kind of artists anymore...sadly...

And with their "under 21 years old" offer, I'm really afraid of this fest' future for us lol.. (I'm 36 ^^)

[billybigballs]

It's the start of a new week. Let's re-group and assess our position.

Nothing's certain, but.....

Very likely:

Fred Again.. / Sam Smith / Louis Tomlinson

Likely:

Two of: Stormzy/Becky Hill/Tom Odell

Is that all we actually know at this point?

Two Door Cinema Club are very likely as they play Grape festival in Slovakia and they always share most of the artists with Sziget, I can see them subbing on main stage, same goes for Son Miuex in A38 slot.

Son Mieux opened the Main Stage this year on the first day. I don't think they'll be back the following year.

Totally forgot that, same goes for Nothing But Thieves which are playing there but was present last year at Sziget.

I love this festival, but those names looks terrible, specially for a 30 anniversary. 

They nailed with the electronic music past two years, I have my faith on it, but I don't know what to expect there.
