So what bands would you expect Sziget to book on the level of Charli Xcx / Chappell Roan then?   I don’t like the headliners this year but I’m intrigued to hear what would be in your opinion possible in the same scope of budget .   For me the National is a boring headliner. I remember after Macklemore in 2019 everyone left and they had barely anyone watching 

Foo fighters v Charlie xcx/roan/post malone isn't a fair comparison.    It's why I chose Eminem v foo fighters, that's a more fairer comparison. 

Just back from seeing Sam Fender in Glasgow. An ideal Glastonbury headliner, appeals to a wide range of age groups from kids to, eh, my age ( I changed the words to seventy going under😉).  Despite him struggling a wee bit with a cold it was a tremendous gig. 

My comment was specifically related to acts in scope of what sziget would book. I don’t think Eminem or Madonna would be booked by Sziget, but Foo Fighters would be. And I assume their fee is going to be higher than a chapel roan / Charlie xcx or Post Malone.   i don’t know any figures , but this would be my assumption   

Give or take. Billie Eilish is a mega star. The National always get booked as headliners across festivals and don’t pull a large crowd
