Both headliners, Billie Eilish and Florence + The Machine, won the Grammy
Among the headliners is 20-year-old Grammy Award-winning singer Billie Eilish. She is the youngest artist in Grammy history to win all four general field categories—Best New Artist, Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Album of the Year—in the same year. Eilish also became the youngest headliner for two major festivals this year, including Glastonbury and Coachella.
Speaking to NME earlier this year, Eilish spoke about the lack of female headliners at music festivals. She said:
“I would see these line-ups for festivals and it was all dudes. And it was all artists I liked, but it was just like, ‘When will women be involved? Women have to have a million back-up dancers and a million costume changes and their hair done, and crazy costumes and stage set-up.”
Earlier this year, Eilish’s theme song No Time to Die for the James Bond film of the same name topped the UK Singles Chart and bagged the Academy Award for Best Original Song in 2022.
Also among the headliners of Sziget is Florence + The Machine, who released their seventh studio album, Dance Fever, earlier this year. The band touted the album as a fairytale in 14 songs and featured singles including King, My Love, and Free, among others. The Grammy-winning band recently concluded their North American tour in support of the same album.
