First Round: the Latest Stars, Big Comebacks, Promising Names
Sziget Festival, one of Europe’s favourite festivals, has announced a whole bouquet of bands arriving to Budapest in the second week of August. This year’s Sziget festival will bring back the best parties of the past 18 years, for example Iron Maiden will return with their new album, and Faithless, the band that attracted the biggest main stage crowd ever will be back again. The most important bands of the moment will also be there, including last year’s “group of the year” Muse, and Kasabian the creators of the „Album of the Year in 2009. Sziget will continue to present bands that are perhaps less well known to Hungarian audiences, but have proved themselves on the international stage: the critically acclaimed The Cribs will be debuting at Sziget, as well as the Belarusian ska-punk Lyapis Trubetskoy. Metal will be given a greater focus at Sziget this summer: Children Of Bodom, Monster Magnet, 69 Eyes, Paradise Lost and many more will be performing at this year’s festival.
On an island close to nature, in the middle of town and yet in a green environment, the Sziget Festival awaits its party-loving festivalgoers for the 18th year running.
The programs are as unique as the location: besides a wide variety of musical styles in dozens of venues there are cultural programs on offer too, ranging from street theatre to circus acts, from physical theatre to exhibitions. Previous visitors to the festival frequently name the unique atmosphere (second only to the huge selection of programs) as the festivals main appeal. This is the place where friendships are made, this is the place where great romances are born, and this place is the island in the middle of our hectic civilization where everyone can let go of their everyday worries. This Sziget is the island of friendship, the island of love, the island of joyful self-abandon, the island of freedom, the island of cultural diversity. That said, it’s worth keeping in mind this is also the island where the beer is cheap, the girls and boys are beautiful, and the exciting urban centre of Budapest is within easy reach. This is the Sziget that is an unmissable party, this year 11-16 August.
