UPDATE!: Sziget confirms it on Facebook.
Bad news for those coming to Sziget 2011 to see Amy Winehouse. According to Reuters, quoting a spokespoerson for the troubled singer, she has cancelled the whole European tour.
She had serious problems performing in Belgrade a few days ago, and looking intoxicated.
Everyone involved wishes to do everything they can to help her return to her best and she will be given as long as it takes for this to happen.
the spokesperson for her said.
We’re wondering who the Sziget organizers will replace her with.

OMG you guys really think that a band like METALLICA would be like: ‘ow did AW cancell her gig @ sziget? Waaw it would be such a great honour to replace her!’
A replacement band is ALWAYS smaller than the band/artist it replaces. To think Metallica would do that is just very very stupid
@Peter: You’re right: Metallica would NEVER EVER be a replacement for Amy Winehouse, but we are discussing the possibility of Metallica performing on Day Zero!
…but to be honest: even though it is not completely impossible, chances are very low! (Even though Metallica did nearly play on Day Zero in 2008)
@ peter please read the comments before you comment.. John Doe pt the idea forward.
But I think it would be possible that Metellica would come back, because it would be pretty special, just like the organisers said it would be. I am glad I am going with the train, it’s longer, but I will arrive at day -1 (at around 09.00) so I can enjoy the entire week of festival!
Metallica very likely won’t return to Europe for 1 concert.
In a way they will always be a replacement for AW because of she wouldn’t have cancelled her show no one would take about tellica.
I think that the most possible replacement for Amy are Scissor Sisters. They are free for these date, they are also play pop music, and they was a sziget-headliner some years ago.
i think what sziget need is Manu Chao
its a good re placer and it is on tour in Europe
The Streets?
or pleaaaaaase : EDWARD SHARPE & THE MAGNETIC ZEROS!!!
Manu chao offspring dropkick murpheys strokes aloe blac raddiohead
these are the people I wanna see that arnt here and i think theres a plausible replacement in there somewhere
or Ska-P!
If the act is from Universal Republic, Florence + The Machine?
I’m not sure, but I think the initial “the record company will help to find a replacement” was a misinterpretation: it was said that the booking agency will try to help and they don’t have a proper headliner (which might be possible) they could offer…! I’d love to see Muse again (same agency), but this is very unrealistic…
Well I’ve checked their artist and it looks like Florence + The Machine the act who can replace AW as a proper headliner.
I haven’t find their tour dates in august anyway…
They also have Jessie J
please note: It IS a speculation! We’re guessing here talking about act we want to see!
Please don’t say to me STFU when I put my ideas down.
Nobody knows who will come – not even you Peter.
My guess is:
- there will be no replacement act
- Kaiser Chiefs will headline, and all acts on that day play one slot later
- they put in some band from wan2/a38 to the opening slot
@tool06: That sounds realistic.
Pearl Jam Pearl Jam Pearl Jam Pearl Jam Pearl Jam Pearl Jam Pearl Jam Pearl Jam Pearl Jam!!!
Which artist belong “19 entertainement” ?
my dream is to see Pearl Jam!
@tool06: I’m sure they will try to get a proper replacement – but it might be possible that they can’t get a good one and might do what you suggested. In the last years some of the last minute additions/replacements were Mika, The Kooks and Manu Chao – so not always bad ones!
@liSERGIcO: 19 entertainment is the company of Simon Fuller, who is host and producer of shows as American Idol and own the rights to most of the performers of these shows. Why do you ask?
Morrissey?
You can find some major updates about the program and schedules here:

New: Partial program Day Zero, full schedule for: WAN2/A38, Europe Stage and Cökxpon Ambient.
How about Mumford and Sons? Would be a nice addition to the line up so far..
If they can put The prodigy on stage AGAIN surely they can get Pendulum again too..?
