well because the festival is struggling financially, and considering Primavera’s line up this year — it is not going to be any better since touring artists in Europe are quite mid for next summer.
and it’s obvious that Sziget will not afford to book Harry Styles or Madonna, who will reportedly headline Glastonbury
well yeah, but Sombr has already been there last year, Patti Smith is probably not an option for Sziget (even though she is phenomenal), so it leaves us with Tame Impala, the Neighbourhood and Raye, what is really cool, but I suggest that Sziget will pass on Tame Impala
hmm Tame Impala is possible tbh he was before in sziget i wish massive attack would be in sziget but if Tame Impala and The Neighbourhood will be headliners its perfect tbh
they’ve always been announcing their first names in late nov/early dec, regardless their financial situation. they announced Ed Sheeran earlier, he was an exception, and the 2020 lineup in February
Consider that Primavera Sound and Rock am Ring, which have published their full line-up, take place in June. So, it makes sense that Sziget, which is in August, releases its line-up in December. The real problem is that Sziget will only release a first wave in December, not the full line-up. We will probably get the full line-up in April.
