First, we have Goulasch Exotica on August 13. The date is confirmed on their official MySpace.

Second, there’s the band Napra. Both the guitarist – Both Miklos – and the singer – Kinga Kramli – have confirmed the Sziget date on their MySpace pages.

More interesting acts have just been confirmed on the official Sziget site, through a press release.
Probably the most important for a lot of you would be 30 Seconds to Mars.
This will be good news for a lot of people that wanted them very much to play this year’s Sziget Festival.

Metal fans will be happy to hear about Fear Factory and Kamelot.

German legend Nina Hagen will also be at Sziget Festival 2010, and also Calvin Harris.
Major Lazer and Young Punx, that Sziget News already told you about, are now officially confirmed. So is the rumor about Charlie Winston, that we were talking about in the last few days.
Also confirmed are Breakestra, Simian Mobile Disco, Yeasayer, Death Valley Screamers, as well as Rada.
(thanks Mirex, Mellowmaniac, Fantomas)

As we told you earlier today, there is a very big chance that the Blink 182 at Sziget 2010 rumor won’t confirm. Some people on the site sounded quite happy about this. So we thought about having a poll here on Sziget News and see what the general opinion is, just for fun.
Comments are most welcome, as they always are.

Another act has self-confirmed its presence at Sziget Festival 2010. The Young Punx are an English electronic dance music act whose style “encompasses french house, breakbeat and drum and bass, mashed up with elements as diverse as 1980s pop music, hard rock, disco and glam rock”.
The band has existed since 2003 and virtuoso guitarist Guthrie Govan, as well as Massive Attack vocalist Yolanda Quertey work with them on a constant basis. They’ve also collaborated with Dizzee Rascal on his album Tongue N Cheek.
