Mando Diao will play Sziget 2012 on August 12, according to their official site (thanks, mellowmaniac)

As always, all of the schedule info is posted in our Sziget 2012 line up page.

Let’s start with the new names, shall we?

First of all, on the Europe Stage, two new bands have been added: KILLO KILLO Banda and The Broken Beats. 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, on the Rock and Metal Stage, we also have two new acts: Tankcsapda, playing August 14 (they need no introduction) and Austrian melodic death metallers The Sorrow (on Ausgust 13).

Last but not least, the Meduza venue also adds Dario Zenker for August 12.

On the Roma Stage, we have a new act as well – A the Sam.

All of these changes are reflected in our Sziget 2011 line up page.

Apart from Amy Winehouse and Lostprophets – two acts we told you about, here’s what the announcement (and, by consequence, the Sziget 2011 line up) has to offer:

Kasabian, The Maccabees and Good Charlotte are coming, and so do Deftones and Within Temptation (returning after an excellent performance a few years ago).

Joining will be Kid Cudi, as well as Peter Bjorn and John.

The World Music lineup is completed by Socalled, Choc Quib Town and Cheikh Lo.

Here’s the official announcement.

No official White Lies announcement yet.

They will play the Ambient Tent, always a cool place at Sziget.

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

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)

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.

We told you about Vive la Fete on Sziget News a while ago.

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.
