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)

Thanks to our friend Mellowmaniac, we know two more main stage dates for this year’s Sziget Festival. You can already see them in the updated lineup page.

So, K.I.Z. will play the Sziget 2010 Main Stage on August 12 (according to their website and MySpace page).

Mellowmaniac also found out from Subsonica’s management that they will play the Main Stage on August 14.

Another interesting name for this year’s Sziget Festival, that we know about from our friend Mellowmaniac.

Easy Star All-Stars, a very interesting New York-based reggae band, is set to play Sziget Festival 2010, according to their agency’s website and MySpace page.

Easy Star All-Stars usually do cover albums in a reggae / dub style. Their Pink Floyd cover album is probably their most famous work to date.

According to their agency, they will play Sziget Festival 2010 on August 11.

Today seems to be a very good day for self-confirmations of artists for the Sziget Festival 2010 lineup.

After The Picturebooks, that we told you about earlier today, another act is now self-confirmed.

From Bulgaria, there’s Surbahar, a very well known artist who has has been producing music inspired by the Indian culture while still diving into a maze of sounds filtering in from all around the world.

Surbahar has already played Sziget in 1998, 1999, 2001, 2005, 2006 and 2007.

Surbahar’s presence is self-confirmed on the official MySpace, for the Cokxpon Cafe Theatre.

(thanks, CertainVZR !)

Thanks to our friend Mellowmaniac, we found out that French band The Inspector Cluzo are set to be part of the Sziget Festival 2010 lineup.

The band will promote their new album, called “The French Bastards” and what we can hear on their MySpace page makes them quite an interesting act to see live. Especially since they’ve played 185 shows in 47 countries last year, so it was about time for these French guys to get to Sziget.

The news is confirmed on The Inspector Cluzo official MySpace page and also on The Inspector Cluzo official website, that has a rather “interesting name”.

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.

The Young Punx are self-confirmed for this year’s Sziget Festival on their MySpace page. They’re set to play at Sziget on August 12. (thanks, Mellowmaniac!)

The official Dutch site lists another new and very interesting act for this year’s Sziget line-up. We’re talking about Dutch band Baskerville, set to play the Meduza stage this year.

According to our friend Zmeer, “This is a very interesting project from 2 producers from Haarlem, The Netherlands, who are bringing a sound influenced by electro, hiphop, funk and rock. In April their first single “Ready To Blow” feat. Bob Rogers will be released.”

More details about them can be found on the Baskerville official website.

An update on the Muse official site points out some rather interesting information (thanks mellowmaniac!).

According to this update, Muse will be playing Sziget 2010 on August 15th, which is Sunday. That means the Sziget week-end schedule for the Main Stage is starting to take shape!

(this post is updated constantly)

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!!!

This just in: another great name has self-confirmed its presence ofr this year’s Sziget Festival.
