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!)

English political rapper Lowkey, that is also known for working with Reverend & The Makers and with the “political indie-supergroup” Mongrel is confirmed on his MySpace to play Sziget’s Rock Against Racism Day, as our friend Mellowmaniac tells us.
