A few of our friends have seen a Sziget 2013 date announced on the Motörhead official website, which would have made it a self-confirmation, but that date has been pulled off before we could take a screenshot. The date was August 5 for Lemmy & the gang at Sziget Festival, and it also appears in a list of tour dates that a user called Snaggletooth has posted on the forums on the official website – you’ll need to be registered in order to see

sziget 2014

Although there will be metal at Sziget 2013, the news is not so good for you if you’re a metal fan and plan to attend the festival. According to a reply by the Sziget Italia Facebook page administrator, Sziget won’t have a dedicated metal stage this year, either. A Sziget fan has asked whether there will be a metal stage this year at Sziget and the answer was that there will be venues hosting metal, but not a dedicated one, as you can see in the screenshot below. (thanks go to Bender!)

KILLO KILLO Banda will play on August 12, while The Broken Beats will play Sziget on August 10. On the A38-Wan2 stage, two new acts have been added: Electrelane (on August 11) and Watchaclan (August 13), both very interesting from what we could hear on their respective sites. Now,

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.
