They are but they're in the U.S supporting Green Day for the duration of Sziget.

That would be a surprise 

[kramrojam]

Rise Against is from Chicago, would fit into their schedule

[QuintenH]

it's probably not possible. but there is 1 artist coming from Chicago and tomorrow Kanye will drop his new album

I don't know if it is just me, but a festival where you have to google most headliners isn't exactly a good festival 😄

I may be getting old, but some of the acts that are suggested/expected here as headliners are definitely not on that level.

We bought early bird passes for the first time this year, but judging from the leaks and hints I've read here for the past couple of days, I feel like we might regret it.

I think the surprise headliner is CM Punk

On a more serious note, Chance the Rapper is also from Chicago.

Apparently Louis Tomlinson has a song called 'Chicago', so that clue's solved. 

Beach House also has a song called 'Norway' but no idea if they're touring.

Is Louis Tomlinson really as big as Sziget is pushing him?

He has a huge fanbase of teenage girls (former 1D fans), but besides that, no, he’s not big

until I saw it mentioned here, I had no idea who the guy is

I mean, it can be expected from them having 21&under passes available, but are they such a significant portion of their festival goers that they decided that they didn't care about 30+ audience at all?

Cheers. Leaks said we aren't getting anyone from the Werchter line-up so fingers crossed it's Aurora!

I'm not sure many former 1D fans who were fans when they were a band would be teenage anymore. They broke up in 2015, 8 years ago, so presuming they were 11-14 at the time they're mostly going to be in their 20s. Semantics I know...

isnt mad cool…mad…bad??? 

most of these names seem so small comparing to last edition

[rowexx]

@Sziget2024_Leaks how many from mad cool?

[Bring Da Ruckus]

Aurora is a very safe bet at the moment for the Norwegian artist although other options could be:

girl in red is from Norway but i don’t think she’s got any touring plans at the moment.

Sigrid is another possibility with a bunch of dates in Norway next summer, she’s free over the dates of Sziget too.

Admittedly, it’s not amazing but I hope it isn’t a sign of things to come for Sziget as well.

You and me both my dude. 

[r55N]

let's see tomorrow... with so many good and big bands touring in August, Sziget have a chance to gather amazing line up next year.
Not sure if anyone mentioned NAS in the tread... He's touring in the period as well and would be great rap addition to the line up.

true, but if this was the lineup that Sziget announced, it would be great.. 
somehow, I feel like Sziget lineup will be worse than this one and here people are considering this one.. bad.. 😄

They have three headliners yet to be announced tbf. That said, unless they're huge acts, that's remains a poor line-up announcement for Mad Cool whose recent line-ups have been "how can they afford all those big acts?" level.

If they are former 1D fans, can't be teenagers right now. This One directions guys appeals more to people closer to their 30s than 20s. Harry Styles is 29, c'mon, that is another different generation
