Yesterday, Sziget Festival announced the latest additions to its 2019 lineup, naming the artist to occupy the last free headliner slot: it’s The National, the American rock band formed in 1999 in Ohio. The band has just announced the imminent release of its new album called “Am Easy to Find” scheduled on May 17th – this means that their fans will be delighted to hear their fresh materials the best way, live on the stage.
