I know this is only the first lineup, and Charli and Chappell are good additions, but this seems poor. No "big" names, and a lot of electronic acts.
I know Charli and Chappell draw a decent crowd, and Anyma is a great show if they can accommodate the visuals, but as a main stage headliner for Sziget?
I know people keep saying "this is only the first announcement" but the first announcement is where you put your marker down, with at least one big name to get people interested. People choose their festivals now, not in 2 months time. I know certain artists have certain time frames, but this all goes into the planning.
It's disappointing as I really wanted to get excited for Sziget next year after skipping this year.
Travis will cause mini earthquake. I think download and the other rock fests more your cup of lean now people. Tickets need sold and hardly any body touring. They can't pull rage out their anus. There will be guitar there. Stop stressing. Or gan to a rock fest. But yeh I agree lol would never have seen chilli's, muse, bring me, foo fighters, panic, korn, shikari, snoots, Clyro, kasabian, or kings of Leon if leeds didn't have a legacy rock bands and current I'm into new zeitgeist n stuff. Riding the curve. But leeds needs a dam good rock metal pit day. Na meeen. See what lineup says. Imagine we might only have chapel Roan correct from full thread lol think travis is there tho. Was a hint on a tik tok. A song title in the caption. Very subtle supposedly
This is one thing Glasto does very well. The two times I went there was ample alternatives if I didn’t fancy the headliner.
Think I saw Father John Misty/Alt J instead of Foos. Metronomy instead of Ed Sheeran. Tame Impala instead of Stormzy.
Whereas at Reading 2016 I remember feeling a bit stuck for options if we didn’t fancy the headliners, luckily I loved all 3 of the major ones.
Good to hear!
I haven't seen SVE for a few years to be fair and I really like her stuff, so maybe I'm being slightly gloomy as none of these acts were on my personal shortlist.
I haven't listened to FJM's latest as never really got on with him, but I have heard from a few his most recent material is very good so will check it out for sure.
Excited nonetheless!
