Focus on verified sources Before the lineup was officially revealed, there was speculation about other potential performers based on industry chatter and fan wish lists. Platforms like Reddit and music forums shared predictions about acts like Rosalia or other genre favorites, but these did not appear in the final confirmed lineup. .​
