Radio Barkas, the smallest radio station of the Netherlands, will be at Sziget Festival 2010.

The small truck that spreads music will be at Sziget Festival 2010 throughout the festival, according to its official website. (thanks, TvdF)

No new acts this time, just a date that also goes into our lineup page.

Kamelot will play Sziget Festival 2010 on August 14 according to their official website. Most certainly at the Rock Stage.

As we told you earlier today, there is a very big chance that the Blink 182 at Sziget 2010 rumor won’t confirm. Some people on the site sounded quite happy about this. So we thought about having a poll here on Sziget News and see what the general opinion is, just for fun.

Comments are most welcome, as they always are.

Are you happy that Blink 182 won't be playing Sziget?

• Why would I care about that?
• No
• Yes

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.

Another band has confirmed its presence in the Sziget Festival 2010 lineup.

We’re talking about German band The Picturebooks, that have confirmed their presence at this year’s Sziget on their official MySpace page.

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.

Happy hardcore band Enter Shikari and Infected Mushroom (that Sziget News found out about some time ago) will also be there.

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 that Paradise 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!)
