Iron Maiden, one of the headliners of this year’s Sziget Festival, has released the “Final Frontier” teaser online recently.
They also announce that the video will be available on July 13.
These things are just to keep you busy until we meet in front of the main stage at the Maiden show.
Mika will be part of the Sziget 2010 lineup. According to the schedule on the official English Sziget site, Mika will play Sziget Festival on August 13, at 19:45.
They will be followed by 30 Seconds To Mars. These changes will be reflected in our lineup page.
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.
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.
UPDATE: The Italian Sziget office wrote to us to correct the information below. Here’s the information we received:
The information about the about the headliners were their own considerations; they are not facts but their own
speculations.
The same thing goes for the things on 0 day, these are rumors that are going
on on their forum. Again, not facts. And, more importantly, these rumors do not
come from the Italian Sziget Office but from their users.
We do hope this makes things clearer.
UPDATE: Kasabian will be playing on the 15th, too, according to the official Kasabian MySpace.
Our friend Sumo has some news from the admin of the Italian Sziget website. He says that the other headliner (apart from Iron Maiden and Muse) will be Faithless and two headliners are still to be announced.
He also tells us that Day Zero will probably be a reggae/ska day, so maybe we should expect bands like The Specials to play.
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!
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 thatParadise 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)
A few more interesting acts have confirmed their presence at this year’s Sziget Festival via their websites or MySpace pages.
First, there’s Hudaki, from Nizhne Selyshe, Ukraine. Their presence is confirmed on their official website and you can check out their MySpace for a few songs. They play great traditional music, straight from the Carpathians!
Then, there’s Klezmofobia, a band that calls its music “New York Klezmer”. Their presence is confirmed on the Klezmofobia official website.
Also self confirmed on their MySpace pages are two Hungarian acts, Gyongyi Salla (for August 12) and Dalkloid Sound (August 13)
