More interesting acts have just been confirmed on the official Sziget site, through a press release.
Probably the most important for a lot of you would be 30 Seconds to Mars.
This will be good news for a lot of people that wanted them very much to play this year’s Sziget Festival.

Metal fans will be happy to hear about Fear Factory and Kamelot.

German legend Nina Hagen will also be at Sziget Festival 2010, and also Calvin Harris.
Major Lazer and Young Punx, that Sziget News already told you about, are now officially confirmed. So is the rumor about Charlie Winston, that we were talking about in the last few days.
Also confirmed are Breakestra, Simian Mobile Disco, Yeasayer, Death Valley Screamers, as well as Rada.
(thanks Mirex, Mellowmaniac, Fantomas)

Another interesting act is self-confirmed for Sziget Festival 2010 – Fanfare Vagabontu. This is an act that includes 8 Gypsy musicians from the Moldova region of Romania and Marseille.
Their music might sound familiar to you if you’ve played the game Rabbids, as they’re responsible for the music in it. We assume they’ll play the World Music Stage.

They’ve made a small mistake on their MySpace, where they’re confirming their presence, writing that Sziget is in Bulgaria, but they also wrote that they will be playing on August 15.
The other piece of information we have for you today is more of a supposition, but it’s by Mellowmaniac, and he gets them right most of the time. He says that chances are that Belgian band Zita Swoon will be confirmed tomorrow. The admin of the dutch Sziget board wrote here (Dutch) that a belgian band is on the new flyer which isn’t Via La Fete and isn’t confirmed yet. Then, the French Sziget MySpace have Zita Swoon in their top friends. Most of the acts there are playing this year’s Sziget Festival. Let’s see if he’s right this time.

Today seems to be a very good day for self-confirmations of artists for the Sziget Festival 2010 lineup.
After The Picturebooks, that we told you about earlier today, another act is now self-confirmed.
From Bulgaria, there’s Surbahar, a very well known artist who has has been producing music inspired by the Indian culture while still diving into a maze of sounds filtering in from all around the world.

Surbahar has already played Sziget in 1998, 1999, 2001, 2005, 2006 and 2007.
Surbahar’s presence is self-confirmed on the official MySpace, for the Cokxpon Cafe Theatre.
(thanks, CertainVZR !)

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.

The news is confirmed on The Inspector Cluzo official MySpace page and also on The Inspector Cluzo official website, that has a rather “interesting name”.

As suspected, Kispal es a Borz is the Hungarian band that’s set to say goodbye to their fans on the -1 day of this year’s Sziget Festival.
This is confirmed on the official Hungarian site.
Kispal es a Borz is a very successful Hungarian band, that has over 20 years of activity behind it.

Here’s a good Sunday news for all of you – another self-confirmed name. Rupa & The April Fishes are self-confirmed on their official MySpace page to play Sziget Festival 2010. (our thanks got chudo_pahan)
Check out the songs they have on their MySpace, if you don’t know this San Francisco-based act. They are quite interesting.

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.
