The first official line-up announcement has just been posted on the official Hungarian website.

The first two very important names are ones that we all suspected – Muse and Iron Maiden!!!

Next come more important names:  Kasabian, Billy Talent, The Specials and Gorrillaz Sound System.

Happy hardcore band Enter Shikari and Infected Mushroom (that Sziget News found out about some time ago) will also be there.

Then, Faithless, Danko Jones, the Hives and The Toy Dolls and Bad Religion (both of the last two names were announced here).

Also at Sziget will be Ska-P, that have been at Sziget before, and Gentleman.

Metal fans will be very happy to hear that Paradise Lost, that we told you about, will be joined in the Sziget lineup by The 69 Eyes and Ill Niño. And for the more extreme ones of you guys, Children of Bodom will be at Sziget Festival 2010!

Also on the metal front, Monster Magnet will be there, as well as GWAR, that Sziget News found out about a while ago!

In the same area, Papa Roach are also mentioned on the “Programs” page.

The fabulous lineup is completed with The Cribs, Subsonica and K.I.Z.

We also forgot to mention Lyapis Trubetskoy

Hope you are all as excited as we are! (FIDutchman, you’ve been a great help!)

Later edit: the Dutch Sziget official site also mentions Skindred for the WAN2 stage. (our thanks go to dinges)

Yes, that’s right, another important act has confirmed its presence at this year’s Sziget Festival. The band that has confirmed its presence in Sziget 2010′s lineup is GWAR. Oderus Urungus’ men were supposed to be at Sziget Festival 2009, this didn’t happen, but they will be here this year.

GWAR is known to be a great live act, so we can’t wait to see them at this year’s Sziget. GWAR will play Sziget Festival 2010 on August 11 and their presence is announced on the GWAR official website. (thanks Jari!)

After so many rounds of good news, we have to give you a bad one, too. GWAR’s show at this year’s Sziget Festival is cancelled, according to the French Official Facebook site. The band is not mentioned on the official site, either, anymore. Too bad, it would have been a great show. (thanks, Tetert)

The official Hungarian site lists a new stage for this year’s stage, that looks like a follow-up to the now gone Hammer World – The Rock Stage. This is where metal, punk, hard core, pop-rock, hard rock, blues and indie rock acts will play and among the acts listed for the new Rock Stage are Expatriate, Donots, GWAR, Turbonegro, Life of Agony, Brujeria and Backyard Babies.

Tonight we have some more good news for all you metalheads coming to Sziget Festival 2009. A few days we announced GWAR, now we’re telling you about legendary masked metal band Brujeria, that will play Sziget Festival 2009 on August 14th. The news is confirmed on their management website. Brujeria will play Sziget Festival on August 14.  (thanks, Required!)

GWAR’s management, Issachar Entertainment lists the summer festivals dates for GWAR this year on their website, and Sziget Festival is mentioned. They even give a date – August 13. Looks like there’s going to be some serious action on the island, with GWAR there…
