It seems that the first huge jazz name for Sziget Festival 2009 is known – Al Di Meola New World Sinfonia, that will play at the Amfiteatrum, according to the Hungarian site. (thanks, Mellowmaniac)

What about The kills???
They’re confirmed. They’ve been listed on the French site for quite a while – http://szigetfestival.com/2009/index.php?id=75&artiste=204
I think we have to be a little more patient, because there will be many more bands set for the “Rock”, “Wan2″ and “Party Arena” stages.
Actually “The Kills” and “Digitalism” were only listed on the dutch site, “Travis” only appeared on a (probably fake) poster on LastFM and “Crystal Method” are officially listed on the facebook site, but not on the hungarian Sziget site…
So: perhaps those bands will disapear again, but perhaps they will be set later on one of the not-mainstage – AND there is still one spot left on the mainstage:

Yeah I know they are confirmed there, but they have disappeared from the dutch site, and the hunrian site doesnt mention them either.
Al di Meola? Greatest news from a long, long time.
The italian site say, that this year for the 0day there isn’t one big international name, but there are more international and hungarian groups…..and the 0day change his name in “Rock against racism”!!

The kils are mentioned as being cancelled on the Dutch site, Digitalism is till listed.
Life Of Agony myspace:
“Aug. 16 Sziget Festival Sopran, HUNGARY W/Faith No More, Turbonegro, Deftones”
DEFTONES!!!!!!!!!

Deftones are now also listed on last.fm =)
Don’t get over-enthusiastic… Last FM has the same (usually inofficial) sources as this board (and many others). I think chances are pretty good, but it isn’t officially confirmed by the band or the organizers yet! (Remember: Last FM brought up the probably fake poster with Travis and still have The Kills listed which seem to be officially canceled!)
True, although I have noticed that (with the obvious exceptions of Travis, the Kills etc…) last.fm seem to be fairly well informed.
Nevertheless as you said it’s best not to get overly excited until official confirmation.
The Kills are still on the french site, but have disappeared from the dutch one. So I really dont know what to believe… The Offspring also disappeared from the dutch site and then a few weeks later reappeared on the hungarian one. I really hope that the kills will come, and I think its no problem that there is no more place at the main stage – I think if they come they will play wan2 or the new Rock stage. The only problem is why wouldnt the hungarian site confirm them if they are coming?
The dutch one says that the Kills are canceled:

This seems to me more sure than appearing and disapearing names…
BTW: there is still one empty slot on the mainstage on the 14h!
