For all of you metalheads going to Sziget this year to see Meshuggah, here’s some live footage of the band playing at Hellfest, three days ago.

Here’s a rumor that we told you about a while ago, that is now confirmed. Many of you metalheads going to Sziget this year will be happy to hear that Meshuggah will play this year’s Sziget Festival. The news is confirmed on their official site. Meshuggah will play Sziget on August 16th.

As you all know, Tobias Sammet of Edguy has a new solo project, Avantasia, that will be playing Sziget this year. Sammet has just revealed  the touring line-up for this summer, a very interesting one. It will feature, according to Sammet “Jorn Lande (ex-MASTERPLAN), André Matos (ex-ANGRA), Amanda Somerville, Olli Hartmann, Bob Catley (MAGNUM — not all shows), Sascha Paeth, Miro, Robert Hunecke, Claudy Yang and Frank Lindenthal who is gonna replace Eric Singer who’ll be playing with KISS. Despite all rumors Michael Kiske will not be there, as he didn’t wanna do it and I respect that!”. Sammet promises a huge epic show on the tour, so it’s gonna be well worth checking out their performance at the Hammerworld stage this year.
